Here's a tally of the 2023 results of who's using what. As always there's a small margin of error as I am usually consuming various domestic light/lite beers when Im adding up the results weekly. To everyone in the community have a Happy and Healthy New Year! 323: Mobil/Delvac 190: Pennzoil...

Is there anyone out there familiar with the Stihl FS 40 C line trimmer? If so do you know of any compatible replacement heads for this unit? The OEM head is the old school wind up the string design, which always seems to jam up. I absolutely hate using this trimmer but rather not sell it off out...

For anyone who might be interested, I tallied up results of this thread throughout 2022 and finished it up this morning. The results are fairly accurate, but not exact, my eyes start crossing after awhile going through everyones submissions, but I enjoy seeing the results none the less! There...

After 20 plus years of wanting a riding mower I finally treated myself to a John Deere S240 (first time rider owner) So now begins the circus in my head on what Oil to use, and realizing there are also different oil filter choices than JD or Kawasaki. I suppose I could keep it simple stupid and...

These stats are pretty accurate, but I wouldn't bet my paycheck that the count is exactly perfect. There was a few cold beers consumed while adding up the member submissions. I tallied them up monthly so it wasn't so much work at the end of the year. 273 Mobil/Devlac/Delo 146 Vavoline 122...

So I have a couple year old portable LG air conditioner, it of course quit working properly just after warranty . Anyway, it blows cold initially but no longer evaporates the collected condensation, and after awhile it stops blowing cold air, but blows barley cool air. I had to buy a new GE unit...

So figured I'd get some opinions here at BITOG, seems like there is a wealth of knowledge in this community. I have a 15 year old Kenmore Propane grill that needs some help. It was a house warming gift from my mom and have kept this grill clean, and stored in the garage when not being used...

I gathered the information from my "Post your latest oil change" thread. This was more time consuming than I thought, but it was interesting to see the results. I can't promise the final tally is 100% perfect but it is very close. My eyes started to cross going through a year of submissions...

I was pleasantly surprised to see GetGo fuel stations have recently become Top Tier certified. GetGo is a subsidiary of The grocery chain Giant Eagle, and are found in Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana, West Virginia, and Maryland. Getgo is the most convenient station during my normal travels so now I...

I'm fortunate to have a Circle K (rebranded Marathon)that sells ethanol free 90 octane gasoline, using it for all of my outdoor equipment with a dose of Stabil. I've been wondering do I need to use Stabil if I go through 2 gallons of gas approximately every 4 months between the mowers, and...

Can I use 50:1 oil gas mix in a chainsaw that uses 40:1 mix. I keep 50:1 on hand all the time because my line trimmer, and leaf blower use that mix, but my seldomly used chainsaw calls for a 40:1 mix. I don't want to blow up the chainsaw, but I also don't to buy and keep a 40:1 mix as I'd never...

I've been weighing the pros and cons of each vehicle to make my next DD for the next 10 plus years. I live in the snow belt, so the Subaru's AWD would be appreciated. Although my play it safe side says to buy the Camry,and a set of winter tires. Both models are later in their generation cycle...

I am considering a 2014 Jeep Patriot Latitude it comes with the 2.4 world engine, mated to the a (new to Chrysler) Powertech 6 speed auto transmission. After lots of research on this vehicle my only concern at this point is this transmission. I can't find too much info on it, I believe it is a...

About a month ago I had my exhaust replaced on my Ranger. As soon as I took it home I noticed that a whistling/hissing noise on when getting up to speed on the highway. I don't hear the noise while accelerating in city driving, just under heavy load, heavy acceleration at highway speeds. The...

I was recently tuning up my leaf blower, and weed wacker while servicing the spark plugs, I noticed a good amount of carbon build up on the piston heads. Both units are around 4 or 5 years old. I use them quite a bit between mine and my mothers yards. This is the first year I put in new plugs, I...

I recently bought a new Dell desktop, and am not really sure on how to hook up the cable tv to it. My old HP had the coaxail input on the back, this new Dell has only a Hdmi input on the back. I guess what I am asking is do they make and coaxial to hdmi adapter that would allow me to plug in my...

I bought a gallon of Shell 93 for the mowers (b&s675/hondagvc160) for the [censored] of it. Usually I'll use 87, now Im starting to second guess buying the high octane. Is there anything to be concerned with, or is it fine to run high octane in small engines?
