    0w oils?

    I use straight 30HD in my mowers. Tried 10W-30 one season and it consumed oil so I went back switched back. I use 10W-30 in my pressure washer as it's what the engine operator's manual calls for.

    SAE HD 30 or plain non-detergent SAE 30?

    I've been using SAE30HD in my Toro recycler for 10 years as the engine operator's manual calls for a "quality detergent SAE 30 oil". I toyed around with MV oils a couple times and the consumption wasn't worth it so back to SAE30 is.

    What's the proper oil for a push mower

    I retired my Toro Recycler 20007 (2004) this AM, sold to a landscaper. The transmission bearings went and I just didn't want to go through the time of changing them again as it has other issues. I bought the new equivalent, the Recycler 20378. Kohler engine and everything else looks similar...

    Lawn mower oil question

    My Toro 2007 burns oil when I use 10W-30 (engine manual mentions this). I've always used SAE30 but it's becoming harder to find. If I switch to 10W-30, is the oil consumption anything to be concerned with or is it just the result of using it in small engines because of the multi-viscosity...

    What's the Skinny on Modern FRAM Filters?

    I used Fram in the 90s when I started changing my oil. I'd been using Purolator filters since 2012 and recently changed back to Fram simply because they're in stock where I get my oil (Walmart). I use TG with Pennzoil Platinum, 6K OCI.

    Got A New Flashlight...

    Here I thought I'd bought my last illumination tool 8 years ago. My go to is the Fenix LD01 (now the LD02. The LD LD20 gets a good amount of use as well. 10 years ago I bought a 18 oz can of Nyogel 760G for $60 and I still have 90% of the can. Great stuff, perfect for torch threads and many...
