Harley appears to be pushing their own brand of gear oil for the Harley transmissions and primary chaincases on the big twins. 80W-140, I believe. They're still stocking the previously recommended Formula+ lube. I know that a lot of the Harley guys use gear oil in their transmissions, but I...

I have a Husqvarna 54" rider with the Kawasaki 24hp twin which is used only to mow grass. Purchased April 2011. Mower has 55 hours on the clock and has had three oil changes with Rotella 15W-40. Just started to blow a bluish white black smoke on startup within the past couple of months. This...

Here we have a 1973 BMW R75/5 that was run on Pennzoil 20W-50 for it's entire 40 year life. The previous (one owner) changed the oil every 2k on a 2 1/2 quart sump. The oil pan was off once in its lifetime, and that was at the initial 600 mile service. Total mileage is 35,000. There were...

I picked up my third Moto Guzzi today. This one is a Breva 1100 (1064 cc) v-twin, pushrod motor with a dry clutch. It DOES have an factory oil cooler. Also, the oil circulates in the heads and cools the valves. The owner's manual specs AGIP 10W-60 Raing oil. I've seen a couple UOA's on that oil...

We have several rifles and shotguns that have a problem with rust. Years ago.... I got a quart of something that I thought was LPS-1. It was a light viscosity super creep oil that looked a little like very weak coffee. I mixed it 50/50 with Mobil 1 5W-20 and man oh man it was the cat's meow...

I'm looking for a 195/50-15 and nobody around here stocks them. Most will have two or three in a 195/55-15. Several places are touting buy 3, get one free and other special deals but when you pay attention to the fine print, it certainly doesn't come out any cheaper. So, if you buy online...

My grease gun finally ran out. When I pulled the tube, I discovered that (for the last few years) I've been using Slick 50 "1" Grease. Supposed to be the "1" grease for everything. It's sorta a green color. So, in goes a tube of red Mystic JT-6 high-temp.

Back again. Kawasaki 49065-7007 not readily available in my area. It cross-references to a Wix 57035. This is a tiny filter and is $10.79 plus tax at the local parts store. I searched out on this forum and on the oil filter forum for posts within the last year and came up empty. I understand...

I posted a couple months ago that I purchased a Husqvarna LGT24K54 riding lawnmower with 54" deck and a 24hp Kawasaki motor. The riding mower manual says 10W-30 but I now see where it contradicts itself in a couple places. Also, the viscosity chart shows 5W-30 to 32 degrees and SAE30 from 32...

Might not be the exact perfect forum to post this - but it IS lawn and garden - related. I've tried everything and finally went to Orschelen's Farm & Home supply and got three of those Made-In-USA Victor spring traps with the six razor sharp spikes. Must have a whole herd of them out there...

So I got this 54" desk on a Husky with the 24 hp motor. Fine, fine, mower. Having trouble getting the mower deck wheels adjusted properly. There are four holes and am currently in the second from the bottom. The wheels mostly turn all the time and I'm thinking that this is not good for the...

My son got my 13 year-old Honda Harmony riding mower and I got a new Husqvarna. I ran that Honda for 5 years on SAE 30 Castrol and then Rotella 15W-40 for the next 8 years. I changed the oil twice a year and it doesn't burn any. The only grease fittings were on the front wheels and steering...

For those of you that don't frequent the "Sales/Promotions" section... AutoZone has Valvoline VR-1 Racing oil (all grades) for $2 off instant savings at the cash register. This is good until the end of the month... some have it until April 4th. I picked up 24 quarts of the VR-1 Racing 20W-50...
