Your wife may be an expert psycotherapist, but a mathmetician she is not. The average lifespan for women is higher than for men. Ergo, for men that outlive their wives, they will outlive them, on average, by less than women that outlive their husbands. She's drawing a false conclusion from...

You don't trust want them to test drive the repairs?

The prefill pundits advocate that if you pour your dirty oil in the crankcase, it gets pumped through the filter before going to important places. To which I say, maybe you shouldn't buy dirty oil. Personally, I'm pouring directly from a clean bottle, not using a dusty bucket to carry oil...

$16 a gallon isn't bad...

If you can't manage to pour oil into a filter without getting garbage in there, perhaps you shant be working on cars. I mean, open box at work bench, pour oil into filter, slide under car, spin on.

OEM filters generally outsourced too.

What problem are we trying to solve other than dark oil (which is easy to fix by...changing oil)?

Fedex shows my package (from Arizona) has been delivered, but fedex photo is not my house. FTID fraud. Well, anyone in NJ want to pay our guy a visit? This is the return label.

Or ~$71 delivered from Home Depot if you don’t have a Sam’s plus account.

Ok. Maybe change oil more often then. Absorption cross sections have that pesky “per unit length” in the denominator.

yeah, OPE has switched to all these "tamper proof" screw shapes on the carbs to keep people from adjusting them. Only factory auth dealers get the official tools. They come adjusted really lean for emissions, so you can piddle away with your brand new 60cc chainsaw. I bought some generic $4...

It doesn't take much to look really dark in a milk jug that is 9" thick.

You got me excited. I don't see any subscription discounts on...various things. But I did just get another $40 gift card from Mobil, totaling $100 for spring delvac season.

Okay, so I'm really confused. I placed two orders of three. I expected each order to yield six 2.5 gallon jugs. The seller cancelled one order. I was only charged for one, which Amazon has refunded. The fedex tracking number that Amazon has for the one order...the one that is only 12.5...

Oil change log from this weekend: 11 year old truck: 3 gallon box of Delo XSP 15w-40 from Walmart - $32 after rebate. Fleetguard LF16035 - $17 $49 premium-ish oil change. See you again in the fall. Rinse and repeat except Delo XSP 5w-40. After I got the truck cleaned up the 13 year old...

This sounds like a scam that's been a thing on ebay for some time. They forge a shipping label to a random address in your zip code. The tracking info looks legit because it's headed to your zip. It gets delivered and delivery confirmation gets them paid. It's a random item in the box but...

I bought three and then I bought three more. I reached out to the seller to ensure they were indeed two packs. In response the seller petitioned me to cancel my order and eventually did so him/herself. Some excuse about listing error or not enough supply. The other order has shipped but...

One by one, executive branch creating volatility in various markets. Volatility = buying and selling opportunities. All the boomers still fretting on how the market is so unstable. I'm up 8% YTD. Did some adjustments yesterday and today. Bring it.

M1 is the only grease at WM where the cardboard carton holding the tube is saturated red.

Drain tile nonsense. SDR-35 (not the cheapo corrugated black pipe) with a cleanout at the bottom of every drop, and get that stuff >30' away from the house in a downhill direction. The cost difference is trivial. Black pipe and modern socked pipe "tile" is a shortcut.
