    Can I mix oil viscosity and brand?

    Not a valid comparison. Small air cooled engines use the oil as a part of the cooling system. Modern lean running E10 burning air cooled engines operated in high ambient temperatures (like Houston in August) at high loads (like mulching heavy grass) with a dull blade and a little grass build-up...

    Can I mix oil viscosity and brand?

    I disagree with jeepman on this. Mixing different brands and/or types of motor oil could cause problems with incompatible additive chemistries, and using 5w-20 or 0w-anything in an air cooled engine in the Houston heat is asking for trouble. How many ounces of oil are in your lawnmower? This...

    Carb jetting for high elevation

    It might not make much of a difference, and it might run better. These newer low emission engines are jetted so lean that a little altitude might bring it into a better running A/F ratio range. Run it before you mess with it. If it breaks-up at wide open throttle when warm then you will need to...

    Which of these Lexus

    +6 on the RX350. Buy it from someone other than CarMax and save yourself over $4k. The first stops should be at some Lexus dealers where you may find an RX that was purchased new there, serviced there, and traded back in there. CarMax buys the majority of vehicles from used vehicle auctions. A...

    brushcutter gear case grease

    EP Lithium Grease is what brush cutter gearboxes use. Do not install a grease zirc in the gearbox or thread anything into the hole. Simply remove the plug, put the grease gun over the open hole, and pump the grease in until it is full. You do not want to pump the grease in under pressure or you...

    Good over the air tv antenna?

    They will NOT get away with overruling the Federal Government in court. I have to think that someone on the HOA board already knows about this antenna regulation, if not, I have to think that an attorney who is experienced in representing HOAs on legal matters will surely know (this Federal...

    MOS2

    Simple solution, leave the MOS2 out in the fall when you change the oil and add it in the spring when you start driving it.

    Good over the air tv antenna?

    Yes, but it also costs the HOA attorney fees to take you to court. When they send you a violation notice letter, send them (and their attorney) back a copy of the FCC rule and tell them that if they pursue the matter that you are going to counter-sue them for your attorney fees and harassment...

    Good over the air tv antenna?

    Just put the antenna up and tell them to pound salt when they tell you to take it down. Make sure that your installation does not cause a safety concern, that is the only way that they can make you take it down.

    He was using a Gibson Super 400 CES on Wooden Ships. The guitar he is holding in the cover photo is a Martin D-28 Acoustic Guitar. Although he uses them a lot now, he wasn't often seen using a Strat in those days.

    Tesla scraps low-cost car plans amid fierce Chinese EV competition

    Tesla has a Gigafactory in Shanghai China. It wouldn't be much of a problem to double or triple it's size. They could mass produce a less expensive product for roughly half the cost of their other plants (because there is also economy of scale) and distribute them worldwide. It is truly a world...

    Lot owner being sued for someone building a home in the lot owner's parcel

    Plaintiffs will include victims as well. I have seen it myself, and this is an example. The victim should get a good attorney and counter sue for damages herself. She should also include everyone in sight, just like the developer is doing.

    Lot owner being sued for someone building a home in the lot owner's parcel

    The reason that a civil lawsuit plaintiff sues everyone in sight is a legal concept called "joint and several liability". https://www.investopedia.com/terms/j/joint-and-several-liability.asp#

    Good over the air tv antenna?

    ATSC 1.0 digital TV doesn't always work the way that you think. Just because it says channel 2 on your TV doesn't necessarily mean that the TV station is transmitting on the physical channel 2 Lowband VHF RF frequency (55.25 MHz). It very well could be (and likely is) transmitting on a UHF...

    "Ethanol Free" Fuel, May Not Be

    Good over the air tv antenna?

    The antenna you purchase and where you mount it is going to be predicated on whether or not there are any Lowband VHF (2-6) and/or Highband VHF (7-13) channels that you are trying to pull-in. Some antennas advertise that they can receive these channels when they can't. Low VHF signals are...
