Just picked up a new PW with a Honda GC190 engine. I have a couple of observations and a couple of questions that come to mind. 1. There were no less than 5 stickers/hangers and pack-ins about using a certain brand of ethanol treatment. Including a very large hanger about a 10.00 rebate for the...

I was trying out a new 4amp tender/maintainer on a new battery and afterwards noticed a damp/greasy film around the vent caps. Normal I'm hoping? If so I might have a bad tender...

My problem is a little more involved when I face that costco is 100 miles away - but we go there about twice a month (the city - St Louis Mo), Walmart is 3 miles away and Sams Club is either 23 miles or 41 miles. I'm really trying to lean towards the Duracell (6/20) at Sams Club.

1. Walmart Maxx (11/19) (99.00)( manufacture date 2. Sams Club duracell AGM 11/19 (169.00), standard duracell 6/20 (103.00) (It;'s from the future!) 3. Costco interstate 5/20 (99.00) Which and why?

went with Fram Ultra and 6 qt of PP. Thanks to all for your thoughts!

Time later today for an oil change on my 2014 F-150 with 3.5 Ecoboost. It will turn over 20k soemtime later today. As you can tell it isn't driven a lot - usually within about 10 miles from home. Because of that the Ford OLM counts down pretty quickly with the percentage of life left. Usually...

Like with so many things nowadays - everything has to be so complex and confusing.

Originally Posted by mattwithcats Problem with Peak Final Charge is they only sell a 50/50 mix, Zerex G-05 comes in 50/50, and full strength, so you can mix up to 70% antifreeze / 30 water... thank you for this info!!

Originally Posted by Snowball Use the peak final charge if you only drained once If you did flushes with water I would look for something concentrated. Keep in kind if you only drained once you probably only drained about half of capacity and if you add this 50/50 final charge you maintain the...

OEM Kubota is green, Final charge is pink/red/orange. Is this really advisable?

I have myself in a bit of a mess right at the moment and need info from some that are 'in the know' about Kubota diesels tractors (b2620) and coolant. I hit 2 years and decided to drain the coolant (OE fill), and was preparing to refill with the below - and stopped immediately when I saw it is...

Well I'm now at 200 hours so I need / want to change my oil again in my Kubota B2620 3cy 26hp diesel tractor. I used Delvac 1300 super 15-40 conventional last time and it seemed ok - was looking in the oil aisle and see: Rotella t5 conv 15-40 14.95, t6 synthetic for 19.95 or the delvac 1300...
