With several autos and motorcycles and small engines, I tend to collect a lot of used motor oil. After it drains into the collection pan, I pour the used oil back in the newly emptied jugs. I just wonder if there are any good uses for the used oil????? Chainsaw bar oil comes to mind, but I...

Love new tires and these will be great on my R1200RT. Many have reported over 15k on these dudes.

Ok fellas, you are going to have a hard time believing this one...... So yesterday, I purchase and take delivery of a beautiful, 2007 R1200RT. The bike only has 13,800 miles on the dial. I bought it from a Mexican man that speaks very, very little English. His wife translates for me, but he...

This is a big filter for the FJ, so I am wondering if I can use it across two oil changes, that are 5k miles, filter lasting 10k miles. What's everyone's thoughts? My reasoning is... just don't want to throw away a filter that is half used. Also, for those of you that double time your oil...

We all know that super wide spans like 5w50 are super vulnerable to shearing out of grade super fast. The modifiers just can't keep the oil in grade for very long. So with most of America in winter temps above 0 degrees... why not a 10w20 and 15w30, that would have much more longevity? If I...

285/75r16's... 33's on the FJ Cruiser. Also added a 2" wheel spacer. Love the look and the performance. I went with ChiCom Tires off of Walmart.com... Crosswinds. Got them for $145 each. This is my third set of Crosswinds and they perform and wear just fine.

The Benz required some work to the coolant system, so while they had it in the 'independent' shop, I asked them to change the oil and filter. After leaving with the vehicle, I nearly had a MELT DOWN..... I saw they poured 0w30 in my Mercedes diesel. I'm not aware of any 0w30 that meets...

Wonder what everyone thinks about Rotella T6, Synthetic 10w30? I have wanted this oil for a few years and could never find it on the shelf, except once in an Autozone for $32 a gallon and didn't purchase. With the recent Sam's Club deal, I snagged 12 gallons for a smoking deal. I am wondering...

My journey with Carnivore is going well..... 02/13/25: 271.3 lbs, 169/99 bp 02/20/25: 260.1 lbs, 131/90 bp (11.2 lbs lost), probably a lot of intestinal clearing and water weight loss. 2/27/25: 254.9 lbs, 137/82 bp (5.2 lbs lost, 16.4 lbs total) I was so excited to step on the scales this...

Ok, I get it .... they are flippin awesome and cool, but really? We are talking about rigs that are over a million bucks to far more. And what do you get for that amount of money in regard to off-road ability? I have never seen these rigs on the off-road trails in Colorado. Yep, I have seen...

Ok.. the wife purchased the car brand new in 2015, because I wanted her to have a diesel SUV that was AWD and because Mercedes was giving them away for $10-$12k off of MSRP on the heels of the EPA lawsuits. They have the European Sprinter 2.1L, twin turbo, 4 cylinder diesel that is supposed to...

Pick your farm equipment, any equipment and answer this question.... Why is a filter necessary for a hydraulic system? Say a guy has a front end loader on his tractor and there are only four hydraulic cylinders. The fluid runs from the tank to the pump to the controls to the cylinders and...

I have searched the web quiet a bit and haven't found the info I am looking for.... I have a new piece of equipment that is powered by the B&S 13.5hp 420cc engine. The thing is.... my property is at 7,800 feet elevation. I am pretty certain B&S jets these engines for sea-level or may a...

Ok.. been on here for a while... I have tried nearly every dang oil a man can buy.... For a decade I was on the synthetic train. Then a combination of motorcycles and gears and a couple of 4 and 6 bangers...... convinced me that I needed to depart the synthetic cult. My motorcycles run...

Just learned that the VW Toureg V6, 3.0L turbo diesel that I owned ...... went into the shop in need of a top-end valve job.... at 115,000 miles. It was a $6,000 job... But I wonder why???? I did meticulous maintenance, as did the following owner.... Why? .................

Gang... I am curious what the rest of you are getting for miles per gallon.... But I have to brag on my rig. I have a 2021, 24 foot, Class C that has the 7.3L Ford, V8 Godzilla engine. This past weekend we did a 760 mile trip through Colorado to Taos, NM and back.... and..... We averaged...

Ok... before lovers start to respond.... I love M1 15w50. Before haters respond... I also hate m1 15w50. Let me explain..... I know this oil is beloved by the BMW crew. It is frickin awesome oil.... But I am learning, there are times NOT to use it. Case in point.... My newly purchased BMW...

So I assume, ATV's can pile in here... with the motorcycles. Ok.. So I have a new CForce 1000, v-twin, ATV. It is a beast and a wonderful, 2-up touring machine. It has separate engine and transmission sumps and the clutch is external. So, it gets a diet of 75w90 in the tranny and it calls for...

I see a lot of people in my area hauling ATV's around in the back of their 1/2 ton pickups. A lot of these ATV's are now pushing 1,000 lbs. I have never heard of anyone buckling their tailgate or the cable holders failing while loading an ATV. It has me wondering....... How much weight can a...

Today I am having a conversation with a guy at work and he said... "I need you to pull me back to reality." I asked... whatsup. He said he is about to purchase a 2021 Ford F250 Power Stroke Diesel 4x4, but the kicker is..... $69,990 price tag for a two year old pickup with 31k miles on it...
