It's been a few years since I've read much about this. What is everybody running nowadays? I'm ready to get out of 2-cycle equipment at the minimum. As a test I replaced my blower with an on-sale HF Bauer blower and I couldn't be happier, just looking to possibly replace the rest of my gear over...

We picked up a 23 Odyssey with the J35Y6 engine a few months ago. What oil and filter recommendations do you all have going forward? This is my first Honda. The first 1k miles creeped up on me so I dumped the factory fill and replaced with Halvoline Pro-DS 0w-20 from Walmart and a Fram TG7317...

Question, just got a new Simpson pressure washer with a Honda gx200 engine. I’m going to call them to see what they have to say but wants to check with BITOG in the meantime. Washer runs great. No issues except after letting off the trigger of the spray gun the engine will surge for a few...

I just had to replace the valve cover my wife’s 2016 Chevy Trax due to the horrible PCV design. Here’s a peek into the engine as I pulled off the cover. It has 113k miles with 5-6k synthetic oil changes. Since around 70 or 80k it’s been fed a steady diet of Rotella gas truck 5w-30. Not exactly...

Good evening everyone. I’m looking to upgrade to a more powerful pressure washer. I currently have have an older Troy Bilt 2800 psi 2.3 gpm with a Briggs 675 that I bought about 8 years ago used from a guy off Craigslist. Nothing wrong with it at all, just want something more powerful. Anybody...

Was just in here yesterday, 29.99 for 2 jugs. Today it’s 32.99. I was waiting on my yearly rewards coupon to be delivered so I could stock up and the price changed. Son of a *****.

Anybody seen their local Walmarts go off the rails with their pricing? This example is for their super tech. The pricing online is different and more reasonable, but like everything else has gone up in the past year.

I get the privilege of changing oils in a few of the family’s sports cars over the holidays. One of them is 72 corvette stingray with the 350 in it. Oil change history is… not good. It runs well but it’s been several years since it’s been changed, and unknown what oil. I was going to go with...

What are you guys running in your air compressors? I have a Makita MAC5200 that I need to change the oil in. It came with a bottle labeled P68 which seems to be SAE 20 non detergent oil.

Bought a 2004 Silverado Z71 with the 4.8 and 118k miles on it last year. I've changed the oil and filter three since then, and only put 1k on each oil change, just because the oil change history is unknown to me. First time was Valvoline synpower (had on hand), next time was M1 5w-30 again had...

I'm currently getting code C0267 low brake fluid detected. I don't have a low fluid sensor installed through the master cylinder reservoir. Has anybody seen this before? I have cleared the code and it keeps coming back immediately. I performed a brake fluid flush after the code started to appear...

Went to lowes and picked up a Husqvarna 435e chainsaw and a case, Husqvarna 128LD trimmer and 2 gallons of Husqvarna fuel. Had to buy the fuel so I could register them and get an extra 3 years on the warranties. Anybody have experience with these? Both fired up 2 pulls each today.

Just saw this today browsing the oil aisle at walmart. The 10000 mile text at the top of the label caught my eye, then I check the back of the bottle to find this. Anyone seen this before? Edit: to clarify what my point was by posting this, was notice the "advanced full synthetic" category on...

Rolled my Silverado up on ramps to change the oil yesterday, fired it up to bring it off the ramps and th abs light came on and hasn't gone off, with multiple trips places. Any ideas on what I should look for? Brakes feel fine during normal use.

Just changed the wife's oil in her 2016 Trax. Old filter was made in south korea. New one? China. Anyone else see changes in these mobil 1 cartridge filters? Two others I have that are spin ons are made in the US.

I have a Honda Fourtrax 70 fourwheeler I've had since I was a kid. I believe it's an early 80s model. My uncle had bought it used for my cousin, who then sold it to my mom who gave it to me in the mid 90s. The bad part :( it's been sitting for 7 years without being started, all of which is my...

I've been changing the oil on my Malibu for quite some time now, but since I discovered BITOG figured I'd see what everyone had to say. This is what the owner's manual says, I have to admit I never checked the manual before changing, I just purchased the basic PF64 ACDelco. I have the basic...

Didn't think it would be this difficult. I'm trying to drop the pan on my 04 Silverado 4x4 and I have 2 issues. 1. The drain plug is rounded off, I guess this is common being old, crap metal with shallow head and overtightened from the factory. 2. There isn't enough clearance to drop the pan...
