update?

I would inspect the piston and cylinder and check compression. These cheap string trimmers have the carb set to run lean in order to pass EPA cert. and therefore wear out rather quickly. You will get 50 hrs out of them if you're lucky.

Here are some pictures of the containers.

I was wondering who makes Walmart SuperTech oil. I just picked up a 5 quart jug for $8.99 and a quart of make up oil. I read in another thread that you can determine who made it based on markings on the bottom of the containers. Thanks

Alright, thanks. I became alarmed when I noticed my oil level was dropping a 1/4 between add and full. Surprisingly, my 1991 vw's oil level always stays the same after 5k miles and it has over 150k on the original engine!

I have this motor in my truck. I was just wondering the other day if I should switch to 10w30 for the summer instead of the recommended 5w30 which covers all temps.

um, that article says that geely is going to continue to manufacture the cars in Sweden.

I am a mechanic at a small engine shop. All new small engines have light metallic in their oil to some degree after the initial 30 minutes of running. The chinese engines by far have the most noticeable metallic in them though. I wouldn't worry about it. Just drain it now and put some cheapo...

Why are the HM oils only available in dino or blend, besides M1 HM? I would buy a PP HM oil.

One more Q, do you think switching to PP 10w30 is a wise choice since this engine has higher mileage?

I am driving only about 10k miles a year tops for now. My driving is about 40/60 city/highway. My biggest trip is the 32 mile highway round trip to school each day. Oh yeah I forgot to mention, I run a Wix oil filter from carquest. So you're saying 8k OCI are the way to go? I think I will go...

I was wondering when I should change out the oil in my Nissan KA24DE with 139,000 miles. I decided to use PP after reading the praise for it on this forum, and also the great rebate. Anyway, what is a good OCI interval for a higher mileage engine running a synthetic like I have in my 2002...

did you bleed the brake system?
