    Home Depot no longer recycling CFL bulbs

    Most communities have some kind of collection center. It is usually operated by waste service that operates in your city. I have one near me that opens twice a week. That's where I dump my used oil and other stuff.

    Made in China oil filters.. why all the hate?

    Originally Posted By: OneEyeJack One problem with stuff made in China is that China will make any quality you specify if you monitor and control the process for the whole production run. A big part of the problem is the purchase specification. If you specify just, you will get it. One good...

    Change oil filter every other oil change??

    I have been changing oil at every 10K miles and filter at 20K miles, per Honda recommendation. I wouldn't leave the oil filter in for more than a year. But I drive over 20K miles annually. So that works out fine. My 04 Civic had 90K+ miles when I traded in. I'm continuing the practice with my...

    Bicycle Tires

    Just don't get any Continental Town and Country tire if you go over 23mph. I was racing a guy today and when I hit 23mph the whole bike shook. I think they are out of balance. I have a bell on my bike too. I'm just sick and tired of yelling at people to move.

    My new chain lube

    Like many I have tried many kinds, wet, dry, and things in between. And there is no such thing as " it will not attract dirt" :-) The best kind of chain lube is the kind that can be cleaned off easily.

    Heyas help me out a bit???

    No offense, but "should be free" don't sound right. It's kind of implied the author of the software should work for nothing. It's like me asking you to change my oil for free and also providing the oil (synthetic of course). "It's free but well worth paying for" sounded much better.

    SunRocket went belly up!?!

    I went with ViaTalk. So far everything is working and I like the 2 lines feature which you can make 2 out going calls at the same time. I'm still waiting for my SR number to port over. If you have anymore Grandcentral invits left? Care to send one my way?

    SunRocket went belly up!?!

    You won't get burn if you paid with your credit card. All you need to do is to contest the charge.

    Mobil 1 is now $3.99/quart at Wally World

    No, their single QT bottles still over $5. It's nice that the 5W-20 now comes in jugs.

    has Mobil 1 gotten better?

    Yes. They are no longer using Trans Fat ( I wonder what group of oil is that ). You'll have to eat a little bit more to clot your arteries.

    HONDA & 20K Oil Filter Changes~Opinions>?

    Been doing the 10K oil/20K filter on my 04 Civic, now the car is close to 70K miles. I drive about 20K a year. Your Element will have a oil monitor. I think the 10K/20K recommendation is only in the owner's manual of cars without the monitor.

    I want a diesel !

    If the car manufacturers simply switch to diesel. They will probably meet the new CAFE standard. But, then those ethanol lobbyist will put a stop to it.

    Anyone notice high aluminum using 20 weight oils?

    Interesting, I work at a die-casting Co. We don't use any silicone for engine parts.

    Going on my first long distance ride

    Actually the best investment is a pair of good biking short. Good luck this weekend and let us know how things went.

    Oil change with PP 5w-20

    The ambient temperature has to do more with better milage than blend. It just take the engine quicker to reach optimum operating condition when it's warm. I always get 3-4 more mpg during the summer.

    Going on my first long distance ride

    It's an organized ride. There should be supports along the route. I don't think he will need anything else other than a sound bike, fluid (for Texas heat) and food. He might be fit , but if he can't ride at least 200 total miles between now and June 2, I suggested he take the 40 miles ride...

    Oil Extractor

    The extraction tube from the Pela is some what heat resisting. Just run the engine for 10 min to get it warm and all containments suspended in oil then extract.
