4th analysis on my 2016 Ram. Interestingly this one probably had the highest percentage of towing miles and had the lowest wear metals so far. I've got one more change worth of Mobil 1 5w-30, not sure if I'll experiment with 0w-40 in the future or not. What do you all think? Worth noting filter...

Well after putting it off for 10 months I finally changed the ATF on my Ram. Know this has been widely discussed but figured I'd post my experiences with my particular truck. My drain plug was so close to the exhaust you couldn't even get in a 10mm hex bit to open it. I used my 12v pump to suck...

I've had State Farm for 20+ years, but lately the rates seem to be getting outrageous. I've never shopped around though because I like the agent and the customer service is very good. 1 claim I've ever had was easily handled. I have 5 vehicles insured with them 2 full coverage and 3 liability...

This filter was on my Yamaha Grizzly 350 for the past 4.5 years. Story from when I got it is here: https://bobistheoilguy.com/forums/threads/2007-yamaha-grizzly-350-low-compression.330972/ This was the first change since the one shown in that thread that was full of metal. Happy to report...

Filter came off my 2007 Mazda 3. Was run for a year with Chevron 5w-30. Was replaced with a CHAMP / LUBER-FINER P960 and the last of my stash of Chevron 5w-30.. Every brand of filter I've tried has the media twisted the same way as this one. I think it happens when you tighten the cartridge on...

Changed the valve cover gasket on my 2007 Mazda 3 2.3 today. Car has 157k on it, I'm almost certain it had a used engine swapped in at some point prior to my ownership. For the last 6 years 30k miles its gotten annual changes with 5w-30 (last few years its been Chevron Syn-Blend). Looking good...

https://www.sportsmansoutdoorsuperstore.com/products2.cfm/ID/298894/jaxa1c915fo/beretta-apx-a1-compact-9mm-optic-ready-striker-fired-pistol Reviews seem good on these. I ordered one to try out. $250 after tax, transfer and rebate for me.

Having an intermittent clutch issues on my 88 F-150 with the Mazda 5 speed. Sometimes when the truck is running and in neutral you cannot get it to go into any gear with the clutch pushed in. Pumping the clutch doesn't change anything. You can shut the truck off and start it in 1st gear with...

Filter was on my L4701 for 2 years/100 hrs. 15w-40 Delvac. Same went back in. Nice filters IMO. Nitrile anti-drainback valve was a little stiff, but seemed to still be doing its job.

This is the HST filter off my Kubota tractor. Replaced the Factory filter 4 years/200hrs ago. Unbelievably heavy duty filter. I had to cut it open with an angle grinder. Makes me feel better about it being $75.... Replaced along with the other hydraulic filter and filled with 11 gallons of...

This filter was the Factory Filter that came on my Kubota L4701. Has a 400 hr replacement interval (no time given change in manual) so I let it go for 10 years.. Seems like it held up just fine. The bottom plate came loose from the glue when I pulled on it, but don't think that affected the...

Filter was run for nearly a year an 8k miles on 2008 CRV. Looked good to me. Nice straight media (not an OG Ultra) Anti-drain back valve was soft and pliable. Was replaced with Supertech MP7317 and Chevron SynBlend 5w-30.

Pretty Typical Extra Guard. Media sure wasn't straight but no tears that I saw. Anti-drainback valve was pliable. Overall I think it did its job. Was replaced by a Champ XL and more syn-blend 5w-30. Was run on a 2002 Chevy Tracker 2.5 V6.

88 F-150 was ready for new tires. 10 years and 15k miles on the Goodyears that were on it. They still had plenty of tread, but I don't ride on tires over 10 years old. Requirements for new tires were reasonable price, white letters, XL load rating and normal looking tread. These fit the bill and...

Bought this little tracker for a woods toy a couple a years ago only to realize it was way rustier than I initially thought. Post from when I got it is here: https://bobistheoilguy.com/forums/threads/bought-a-2002-chevy-tracker.373873/ It finally popped a brake line and I decided to make a...

Several compressors are on clearance at home depot. Your luck will vary depending on what your local stores have. Most around me had this one that I picked up for $349 today which is 1/2 price. They were listed as clearance at the beginning of the month and price has been dropping, but I decided...

Finally caved and bought an Enfield from Royal Tiger imports. If you aren't familiar with them they've bought literally all the surplus rifles that Ethiopia has been storing for a century. Rifles were stored in open goat sheds. Reviews are all over but the guns are rough and they don't try to...

1999 S10 4.3 4l60e trans. 76k on truck we've had it since 2018 when it had 52k. I believe this was the original ATF based on the lack of maintenance the truck had received when we initially got it. Filter/gasket were identical to the GM Genuine replacement I had to put back in it. It took 4.5...

Dad's 77 F-150 with the 400 is having ignition issues. I know these systems are fairly notrious for having issues but figured there is probably an expert on here. Symptoms are no start/no spark and then it gives one spark when you turn off the key (not release it from the start to the run...
