    Highline Warren to produce Mobil 1 filters

    They will supply, not produce. The new Mobil 1 filters appear to be premium guard made.

    VOA Comparison

    Your simplified explanation was not needed, but ok cool. I'll probably never own a BMW/VW/Porsche, so continuing on is of little interest to me.

    VOA Comparison

    Most LSPI events were prevalent in GDI/TGDI engines when calcium levels were high. Of course, engine design is also a factor. It's one of the main reasons most engine oils designed for GDI have gone to an MG/CA combination. The high pressure of DI exacerbated LSPI for some manufacturers. If you...

    VOA Comparison

    Definitely wouldn't want to use the Super Tech in a GDI engine with that high CA.

    John Deere Tractor opinions

    Stay away from the S series single cylinder. Many have engine failures with less than 200 hours. If you want an S series, get a twin cylinder. A better option would be to find a gently used X3 series. If you don't have a large yard, I'd recommend searching and waiting for a good used X310 or...

    Good food to make on a budget.

    Brown some ground meat of your choice (beef - most expensive, pork - cheaper, poultry - cheapest), then buy a big bag of organic jasmine brown rice (not white rice) and make up some rice. Brown the meat, then season with garlic, salt, and pepper. Cook the rice, use chicken broth instead of...

    DIYers Mower parts on hand

    I keep a spare deck and PTO belt on hand, nothing worse than in the middle of mowing and a belt blows when the Deere shop is closed. I have two sets of blades, one on the mower and a spare, so I can swap them out and sharpen them when I have time. A spare fuel filter because they're cheap and...

    5w30 Winter Oil? Toro, Briggs

    5w-30 for winter use in snow blowers mainly. Last time I looked at it in person, it was not resource conserving, didn't have an API rating, and saw a voa/uoa had higher zinc levels than pcmo (like 1300ish). It is made by Pinnacle Oil.

    Just my luck.

    If you have a discount tire near by, the fix is at least free besides your time.

    Discount Tire's Tire Testing Facility: Treadwell Research Park

    From the article, it looks like they are dabbling with it a little bit. Baldwin told MTD that Discount Tire is “starting to do some background testing for Tire Rack,” which the dealership acquired at the end of 2021, but Tire Rack will continue to conduct its own testing. “Tire Rack has such a...

    Mowers - Time for bed

    I've stopped draining carbs, and just use treated E0 fuel year round. I've had more issues with starting from a carb sitting empty, and I've had no issues with starting in the spring with treated E0 fuel sitting in the tank all winter. I run the tank down to about a 1/4 and let it sit. Fill it...

    Amsoil SS 0W-16 5k mi; Rav4

    Some oils have tin in them, its part of a specific moly additive used. I'd bet thats the case here.

    Fusion drain and fill (2010 Sport)

    I believe the Sport had the Aisin F21 vs the standard 6F35 transmission in most other fusions.
