Some people don’t pay any attention to tire age. They simply don’t know or don’t care it can become an issue. I have a family member with 15-16 year old tires on their convertible. 6 YEARS ago I told her to replace them due to age. She argued they had plenty of tread and were only a few years...

Just mix a couple quarts of a 30 grade oil with some 20. That’s what I do in my Legacy that says to use 0w20.

I did a 100 mile round trip commute for like 8 months. I hated life at that time. Leaving 90-100 minutes before work started. Having that drive after work. My time, my gas, it wasn’t worth it. But your situation may be different. I could be told to come in on weekends too. Sometimes shorter work...

Wow. 60w. That’d be some thick oil in cool weather. Is it 60w-30 or what?

There’s a 40w? Wow. 40w what?

Mobile? Weight?

I put my 2015 Legacy on Jack stands when I rotate the tires. Well the front end anyway. They must go somewhere. But maybe the underside is different than the outback.

2016 Hyundai Sante Fe AWD Dumped the mix of Mobil 1 5w40 and 5w30. In went 3 quarts of Mobil 1 5w40 Euro plus 2.1 quarts of Mobil 1 5w20HM. Fram TG 9688.

I’ve said for years that the term weight just confuses people who are trying to learn about engine oil. Or the people who aren’t trying to learn about it are just mixed up. I’ve shared before about when I was at the brake/muffler shop when the tech told me “zero weight oil is too thin, it’ll...

People need to stop talking about oil using the term weight. That just confuses folks. I see it on here constantly. Someone writes about oil and says it’s a 30w. ? Um no. 0w, 5w, 10w 15 or 20w as the first number. The second number isn’t followed by any w. And w doesn’t stand for weight anyway...

Been using the blue Stabil for many years. But I also start filling my tank with REC 90 gasoline the last couple of fill ups before winter storage. Ethanol free gas. Luckily the Marathon station not too far from me sells it. Usually a dollar to a dollar and a half more than regular. But nothing...

You’re not planning to copy this clown are you? Lol.

Funny, I had this exact situation just the other day. I chalked it up to a bad ‘new’ GFCI receptacle. In my basement back utility room the gfci outlet I use for my treadmill stopped working. I had a new one in my electrical supply drawer of my tool box. Replaced the old with the new. Wouldn’t...

2016 Hyundai Sante Fe AWD 52500 miles OUT: M1 10w30 HM IN: 2.2 quarts M1 5w40 Euro and 3 quarts M1 5w30. Fram extra guard 9688 off then on.

Not sure the point of your post. Your power is out and you have a generator? So do a lot of people.

If folks would stop using the word “weight” when discussing engine oil it would help. I think that confuses people. Most I talk to about oil who have never really looked into it think the W stands for weight and oil is classified by weight. I thought oil came in grades. I had a guy at the brake...

The STR 9c is on sale right now at sportsman’s warehouse for $199. I’ve heard nothing but positive reviews on the STR pistols. My local sportsman’s warehouse even has extra mags in stock for the 9c. Unfortunately the STR pistols only come with one magazine which is ridiculous.

Just a week ago I saw Pennzoil 20w20 for sale at a small town Ace Hardware. I started a thread about this oil a couple of years back. I was wondering how old this oil could be that is still on the shelf for sale. It’s STILL THERE for sale today. Just like 2 years ago. I can’t believe they’re...

166K on our 2004 Subaru Forester. Bought it new. It’s our short tripper spare vehicle. We gave it to my son. If it’s in the garage I use it first before anything else. I figure put the miles on that. We just don’t do a lot of driving. Our newer vehicles really don’t have a lot of miles for their...

I’ll mispronounce the word ‘peculiar’ sometimes. It’s like I’ve got to stop and think about it before saying it. I end up saying pekeewl-ler. My wife’s folks and others in her family have what I think is a weird way of pronouncing certain words. They put a long E sound in place of what would...
