    Sounds like everybody loves the 120xp. I may break down and buy a set without the soft grip handles. Wrench cheater looks nice, probably save me some pinched fingers and busted knuckles.

    Id like to know how the 3/8 and 1/2 drive long 120xp compare to the icon stuff. Just bought icons to replace my pittsburgh ratchets during the 40% off sale.

    I lost my father today

    Sorry for your loss. It is getting rare for people to be willing to work or dedicated to productivity. People who have the ability and the mindset to keep working through age and disability are heros in my book.

    post your latest transmission lubricant change.

    Not a change but initial fill. Just swapped a rpm lvl 6 4l60e in the silverado awhile back. Filled with valvoline blue jug dex/merc. Still prefer the maxlife but would rather save the high miles fluid for later on.

    New pennzoil oils

    I was interested in the maximum power 0w30 pennzoil for a 2016 impala 3.6. I notice it doesnt carry dexos1 gen2 approval but could i use this safely? What does dexos offer that sn+ doesnt have?

    2003 GMC Sierra 1500HD 6.0L

    How is your oil pressure? I have a 2004 6.0 swapped into a half ton. I have about 30-35 on a cold start idle, 18-20 warm idle and around 30-35 warm at highway speeds. I use 0w40 castrol currently. I get 12-15 warm idle on 10w30 pup.

    Early oci on new winter beater

    I changed the oil around 206k when i got it a few months ago with castrol 0w40. It now has almost 209k. I plan to keep it a year or so at least i dont have but around 1200 dollars in the car. The engine clearly has some carbon buildup and probably starting to sludge as well.

    Early oci on new winter beater

    I aquired a mb ml320 for a winter beater. I did a oc first thing but im pretty sure previous care was minimum. Would it be worth doing a short interval at first to help clean it up a bit?
