    12 month Interval on oil ?

    I usually go 12 months OCI on each vehicle and average about 10,000 miles at 12 months except the 1993 p/u which gets about 2,000 miles. I sent samples from each vehicle to Blackstone Labs and they all came back saying I can go another 10,000 miles. I just change it out along with a new filter...

    Is carnauba dead?

    Finish Kare High Temp (1000 P) once a year. Meguiar's Xpress Spray Detailer once a month after a wash. The garage queen is experimenting with Turtle Wax Ice Spray and I'm impressed with the deep shine and longevity. Just bought another bottle from Amazon as they've been out of stock at my local...

    How many years of oil do you keep?

    None. When it's time for a change I go and pick up oil and filter for that vehicle only. No room in the garage to store additional oils.

    Wheel bearing grease discussion

    Timken, Valvoline, Amsoil, Red Line - I used all of these with great results. I don't care for Mobil 1 as they not only melt in the grease guns but in the U and ball joints.

    what is logic for changing oil every year? (Even if driven 0 miles)

    In my 1993 Toyota pickup that get's maybe 500-1000 miles per year, after about 2 years I sent a sample to Blackstone Labs for UOA and it came back like new. They told me it could go to 8000 miles though it was only about 1100 miles on the Mobil 1 HM and I used a Toyota OEM filter which I changed...

    Fram Ultra - beating a dead horse.

    Just changed the oil in our 2014 Toyota Tacoma. After unscrewing the Fram Ultra filter, I noticed a black plastic piece in the oil filter housing blocking one of the oil ports. It appeared to have been mounted on the bypass filter. I took out a brand new Fram Ultra and looked in with a light to...

    Free Alternatives to TeamViewer?

    I have the same issue with them and went through the trouble of TV reviewing my account only to have them say I am using it for commercial purposes. I only use TV to control a laptop that's connected to my ham radio equipment and operate digital modes with ham radio. This all started after the...

    Pricing of synthetic oil

    Absolutely correct! The environmental activists were pushing a bill in the Hawaii state legislature and they even passed a bill that died in committee to ban all fossil fuel vehicles and go EV here in Hawaii. These people don't even have a clue that mining lithium for the batteries damages and...

    Rock Auto Frustration Vent

    Rant On. I ordered a power steering return (suction) hose for my 2005 Toyota Avalon along with a couple of cabin air filters from Rock Auto. Notification showed it was shipped USPS on April 3, 2019. I kept checking the tracking on Rock Auto (RA) and USPS's website and it was shipped from RA's...
