    T6 5w40 vs Pennzoil Plat Euro 5w40

    I have been a Rotella fan forever... but recently, when you compare prices with a jug that has 4 quarts vs a jug that has 5 quarts, it causes you to ..... shop. Just a trip into wally world and compare Rotella 4 qt to all the other 5qt is an eye opener. I am finding myself going to the...

    Musk Says Tesla ‘Dug Our Own Grave’ With The Cybertruck

    Interesting fact here.... I live in western Colorado and this weekend I saw a truck and trailer hauling 5 of those Telsa trucks.... headed west. They were a head-turner... as few has seen them live and in person. They were darn cool looking. But if I had to spend $100K on a truck...

    Best 15w40 for very long term storage

    Man... I think it is important how you take an engine out of long term storage. If those over-head valves have set for 4 years with no lube, I would be concerned. If the piston is stuck... I would be concerned. Here's a story for you... My mom passed a few years ago. When we went...

    What one oil would you pick if only one could be had?

    I'm late to the game here, but I actually started a thread just like this about 5 years ago or so.... And since then, my choice has changed. Five years ago, I chose HDEO 15w40. It is great in all my motorcycles, small engine and diesels. It would be just fine in my Jeep, FJ and Ford 7.3 gas...

    Hydraulic Oil Filter... Why?

    There are two screen filters in the tank... They are better than expected. But I want to add a screw in filter and will add it in the next 30 days.

    Hydraulic Oil Filter... Why?

    I baited all of you into a conversation, where I wanted your opinion without bias... Now here is my situation, and if I would have started with this... bias would have run wild. I just purchased a mini-excavator..... yep, of the Chinese variety. Yep, at the $5,000 amount or so. It did not...

    Hydraulic Oil Filter... Why?

    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...

    Wife thinks next vehicle should be an EV.

    Here's my two cents... EV's are the biggest scam on the planet. That being said, I wish every car in LA, NY, Chicago.. etc, should only be an EV. The air pollution there is horrific. Besides big cities, EV's are a complete joke. In the western US, you don't have to look far for a full-on...

    Straight 30 or 15W40 for hard use air cooled small engine?

    Let's start with my 6hp Honda on my push lawnmower. That engine is tight and solid. I change the oil in it annually. The first two years I used RT6 5w40 in it and I would have to top it off as Fall rolled around. The next year I changed to RT4 15w40 and it was still full as winter fell upon...
