Is there any reason not to use Wally's Super Tech syn in my snow blower?

Why not use microfiber?

Hi Guys, It it safe to do an annual oil change with new, unopened oil left from last years purchase but not used?

Thanks, guys, appreciate it!

Hi guys, Looking at the new M-B 220A 4Matic , was wondering what the difference in performance and ride quality is with 17" Vs. 18"? Opinions?

I cook, so I know this! With a skillet (which is different than a frying pan which is different than a saute pan), what you want is even heat. Cast iron provides that, and is a favorite for slow cooking, since once it warms (slowly!) but it holds heat longest. But, for a quick sear, it's not...

Interesting, Chris...Id be curious to hear about lónegvity too. Typically, I wax a few times a year with Megs and then touch up btwn with their spray wax, but wouldn't think it durable enough to substitute for the real thing.

Caranuba wax works great on wood floors..but not much else. I'm not being sarcastic, either. Technology has advanced waxes in much the same way it has oils. Caranuba in a blend is fine...although quaint, there are better formulations out there that last longer and provide better shine and color...

Ok, so what about a classic without flat tappets, why does everyone universally rec HDEO?

So, why are HDEO's like Delo and Delavac recommended for classic cars?

Dude, this isn't "kind of weird" but downright psychiatric. Do you have someone to talk to on a regular basis about all this, its really hoarding beahvior at it's not good.

Dude, it's a used car. If these things...normal wear and tear..bother you, then pony up and buy new.

"Super duper"? Call me old fashioned, but if you're going "Super duper" Mobil 1, splurge for a "Super duper" filter...and leave them in there in your Sonic for the recommended interval.

I had the same thing happen, it's odd, right? Acceptable high detergent substitutes: Delo and Delvac, in that order.

How much was the payment? Unless it's five figures or more, the actual amount of penalty is insignificant, don't worry. Send it right away, if they actually catch it, they'll let you know.

It's always hard when you get a lot of different replies. Here's mine. I'm a Wix guy..after a lot of research. So, I go with Napa Gold (Wix). The ProSelect has a rubber anti drain back valve..which is fine, but not as good longer term as silicone. if you don't care, use the Proselect you have...

I've found that replacement filters for any kind of shop vac are just so expensive that it makes sense to just buy a whole new vac..besides, if the filter is that far gone, consider the life of the entire unit to be close to that, anyways.

IDK about he parts guys Vs. the service guys, it sounds like some subtle form of identification/status thing. There must be some long lost history concerning the purpose of pleats, but now I think its primarily sartorial. Personally, I prefer pleats on dressier pants, and on slim guys. The last...
