UOA from my 2020 Ford F350 7.3L Gas The truck spends more time idling than driving so I base my OCI on hours rather than mileage. About 4 years ago I decided to just use Kirkland 5w30 and change the oil often (200hrs) until recently I saw a great deal on Mobil 1 0W40 FS so I bought enough for a...

So I really want this tool for removing horizontal oil filters on Honda's. However I can't find anywhere that will ship it to Canada. https://honda.snapon.com/HondaAcura/Catalog/Product?id=VSB02C000053 Would any of my fellow USA BITOG be willing to buy this and ship it to me in Canada via USPS...

We are picking up a new SUV next week, what are some things most people don’t think about that should be checked when getting a new vehicle from the dealer?

Looking hard at a new Honda Pilot for the wife’s family vehicle. Plan will be to keep it 10 years or more which we have a track record of actually doing so long term reliability is a big consideration. The 3.5L V6 has been around for awhile but there is couple things I’m concerned about: In...

Looking to stock up on filters on my next Rock Auto Order. Going on my Ford 7.3L Gas I've narrowed it down to the Champ XL(what I'm currently using) or maybe the Mobil 210A. Open to other suggestions as well. Thanks!

10 Year Old Frigidaire. Few days ago the water dispenser had a continual drip and I noticed the ice maker was doing the same inside. I turned off the water and ordered a new water control valve. Yesterday wife calls me, says she heard a dripping noise from the fridge, she pulled out the...

So I've never really payed attention to our pots and pans until my wife picked up a set of Paderno pots and pans about a year ago. They are stainless steel with a very thick base. Before this we always had the non stick stuff and this new set is so much better. One thing the set is missing...

So I'm not a computer guy other than the fact I like having a fast one for my work. My work computer needs require running a lot at once, sometimes up to 12 excel workbooks, multiple PDFs open, schematic drawing programs, etc. I like to buy my laptops with the plan to keep them a long time(for...

Looking for recommendations on a slide hammer on the smaller side with asserories, specifically something that can grab onto the head of a drywall or wood screw for pulling seals, thanks.

I have a 2020 F350 with a 7.3L gas motor. It has 110k Miles on it, 4900 engine hours with 2900 of them idling. I've been using Kirkland 5w30 with 200hr OCI since new other than the first few OCI. I've been thinking about going to Mobil 1 0w40 for awhile and today I noticed its on sale for...

Wife’s car, 2019 Hyundai Tucson, 35k miles. Has a pop sound when accelerating hard from a stop and sometimes abrupt corner direction changes. Speed bump, etc. I thought it was a swaybar link but they're solid. However, this is the back of the lower control arm. I don’t know much outside of...

I'm currently paying $40CAD a month for Adobe Acrobat Pro, it started around $15/month in 2017 and has slowly gone up. At this point I'm wondering if there is a better option for less money or maybe free. I use it for: Viewing PDFs(daily) Combining PDFs(daily) Editing PDFs(occasionally) Scan...

2020 f350, Dana “Super” 60 front diff. Changed the front and read diff oil at 40,000 miles with Amsoil Severe Gear 75w-90. It’s at 80,000 miles now and planing to do the rear again and wondering people thoughts on how often to change the front. For those that don’t know when these trucks...

So my truck was at the dealer for a warranty heater core replacement when I get a call from the "service advisor". She says the tech claims the CAF is very dirty and recommends replacement and since hes in there anyways I can save the labour and they will only charge me the low price of $49 for...

I'd like to get a cheap laptop to keep in my shop, primary use will be viewing PDF service manuals, watching youtube and web browsing when needed. I'm leaning towards a Windows based unit rather than Chrome as I like to use actual PDF programs like Adobe rather than using a web browser for PDFs...

I have been on the hunt for a project bike for months but haven't been able to get to any deals before someone else gets to it first. I prefer to buy something like this non-running for a steep discount. Yesterday the stars aligned and I find myself the owner of this 2006 Honda CRF100F...

This is for sale somewhat local to me (10hr round trip). Any other KE100 fans here or just me? I had one for 4 years as a kid so they are kinda special for me. I'm guessing most think they are lame? The guy is asking the equivalent of ~$3,000 USD. A decent example with a "normal" amount of...

I would like to change my dryer vent for one that is easier to clean, current one has no strait access so you have to pull the washer and dryer out to clean it. Big pain. However the tube that goes through the wall is taped onto the vapour barrier. I don’t see anyway I could seal this up...

Hi guys, I’m going to start by saying I’m not a bicycle guy, I don’t know the terminology and don’t know how to fix them. I do have a lot of experience fixing motorcycles but all this bicycle stuff is foreign to me. I was tearing into my 2012(I think) Giant Trance x2 to grease things up to...
