I have 4 torque wrenches from HF. They are 1/4, 3/8, 1/2, and 3/4 in drives for certain range of torque values. The 3/8 and 1/2 got most uses. Occasionally 1/4 one. The 3/4 one only gets used when I work on shaft nuts. I also have a Quinn digital one which I use to calibrate the other click type...

I have been using PP for over 10 years, 0w20 and 5w30. But I think in the latest formulation PP is falling behind in terms of add packs. I am planning to switch to Valvoline EP for Moly and Boron.

Where is the evidence that oil analysis does not tell much truth? What does?

@atikovi thanks. Do you have the ATEQ model handy? Also does it report percentage or is it just OK/Bad bipolar readings?

@atikovi what scan tool for battery life? I have a obdlink mx+, it can read IDs, pressure, temperature etc but no battery.

I did send an email from their website. But have not received anything yet. Not even an acknowledgement of my email inquiry.

Bought 4 Continental sensors for my Mazda3 from rockauto. Boxes came, but they look as if sitting on shelf for a long time. The sensor IDs are "smaller" than the ones currently on car which are 16 years old since I bought the car new. Three of the sensors' battery life is nearing the end, hence...

Ok. The reason it failed sooner then expected is corrosion on the aluminum. Clean the mating area, and coat the area and the mount itself with fluidfilm to slow corrosion. I have a 2007 mazda3.

Are you not concerned about the lack of Boron? Sure oil analysis does catch all additives and there has been no documents that suggested they are using undetectable elements. Maybe D1G3 bar is still low enough to pass without Boron. But I like Boron for short trips. Am considering switching to...

I wanted PUP but can’t get it easily. For PP I am taken aback by the bare minimum Moly and zero boron.

The latest VOA indicated that the Moly is at bare minimum and zero Boron. This might contribute to the louder noise.

Thanks for the enlightenment guys.

typo fixed. sorry.

I have been using TGMO for the past 10 years on my 2013 Camry. It's got to a point that the dealership is not willing to give me discount anymore. So I need to get back to 0w20 oils that I can buy from Walmart. Is Pennzoil platinum still the favorite in our community? Thanks.

Thanks for the kind words from all of you. The computer she is using was built in Dec 2019. And at that time I had RTX 2070 Super. Earlier this year I got her the RTX 4080 on the same computer. Software wise she had Maya and Blender... not sure which is being used.

Work project after graduation

gotta move on I guess... I would like to get a new camcorder... later this year, thinking black Friday etc... but not sure if I should shell out for a 4K camera... what do you all think? do you have a 4K, what's your favorite? Thanks.

yesterday I took the camcorder out for a short capture of something I am working on. The unit is a Panasonic HDC-TM90, does the 1080 recording. I bought it likely in 2011 to 2012 time frame, don't really remember. The screen flickered and later on went blank. Come to think of it... over the...

Thanks fornyour note...I applied battery red spray after dry/clean connection, and after it dried, applied fluidfilm.
