    Had to get my cat put down today

    Very sorry to hear that, 55. That was tough, no doubt. My lil' buddy cat died on my lap from old age two months ago. None of that "Went quietly while sleeping" thing -- it wasn't quick or painless for her at all. It's never easy...

    Seasoning your cast iron

    Out of curiosity I looked into the iron thingy, and amazingly, as many as 80% of the world's population may be iron deficient (NIH link below). But mainly we're talkin'... •pregnant women •preterm and low birth weight infants •older infants and toddlers •teenage girls •women of childbearing age...

    Seasoning your cast iron

    An astoundingly useless, off-topic comment.... We often get our iron from little vitamin pills these days, although that's mostly a chickie thing ("Men's" formulas typically have little or no iron). Back in the old-school days, when Butch Cassidy was livin' large in Bolivia before he and the...

    Gumout fuel system cleaner question

    Regane has PEA? The MSDS does not confirm that. Personally, I would not assume it has PEA, especially since it is a more expensive, synthetic solvent than the cheaper solvents available. If anything, I'd assume they went the cheap route and eliminated anything more expensive from the mix unless...

    Exxon Mobil reported a quarterly profit of nearly

    "4 billion for XOM only? No that is 4 billion for the entire industry. How much taxes does XOM and XOM employee's pay the federal government every year? The DOD can spend 4 billion pretty easily." Yes, it's $4 billion for the entire oil industry, as I stated. Off-hand I don't know how much in...

    New here , with a question

    Kohler appears to recommend an API SJ 10W/30, so "any 10W/30 will do just fine" is basically technically correct. Since these air cooled (and I assume high-heat) engines only hold about 2 qts of oil, it wouldn't cost much more to opt for synthetic if you wanted to go that route. O'Reilly's...

    Can I mix these oils?

    From the horse's mouth (not sure what the Italian translation for that is): "Can I mix different viscosity grades of motor oils?" "Yes. It is always advisable to not mix motor oil brands, however, different viscosity grades of the same brand motor oil are compatible. Be aware that mixing...

    For fun I loitered in Google Images regarding this. The housing kinda looks like early Chevy, Ford and Fram filter housings. It does NOT look like Mopar or Purolator housings. That's all I got...

    "Why do so many people think its ok to redline?...in a COLD car?" I agree with you. Explanation: Snookie now has her own TV show. That explains it ALL. If she can somehow warrant her own show (I now expect algae and crabgrass to have their own shows), then that thoroughly explains why some...

    best injector cleaner-currently available?

    Without commenting on the effectiveness of the Gumout products (Regane, etc.), I'll simply mention that their MSDSs these days offer basically no insight as to what's in their fuel "cleaners."
