    Question on 'flushing' an AC system?

    Can you turn the compressor by hand? Not the clutch, but the compressor. Is it locked up? Or is just the clutch not engaging? Have you tried testing the clutch with an ohmmeter? Try jumping the pressure switch to see if the compressor kicks on? Put gauges on and see what static pressure is, if...

    Kubota diesel and greatly extended OCI

    Just for a fun calculation, the 2342 hours, if in a car with avg speed of say 40 mph over that time, is like 93,680 miles on an oil change.

    How far will $1 Million go in retirement in your state?

    So effectively it is just a cost of housing chart, and the map basically shows that. Overall I think the whole premise is incorrect, as most people by retirement either have house paid off, or have much less than 30 years left with a lower payment than their house would have if bought at...

    OCI for older cars with low annual mileage?

    5K is a good change interval anyway for your usage. The short trips are the tough part. So given you drive about 5K each year, just change it based on the 5K miles, which is also close to the the 1 year. If you park inside a garage, it is better as you do not get as much of the cold condensation...

    Why Do Vehicles "Wear Out"

    Wear vs Rust vs Maintenance Neglect vs Parts Obsolescence vs Collision vs Electronics. Place your bets and take a chance, especially on a used vehicle. All variables in a multi-variable equation as it relates to the life of a vehicle. In general, I think if you do good overall preventative...

    Mobil 1 0w-40 - Supercar or FS?

    Is cold weather happening when you are doing track days? I think no, and they are different seasons. The easy solution is run the thinner "street" oil in winter, and then change to thicker "track" oil in summer or when you are doing track days. So you end up changing oil more often, only real...

    Larger Size Fram #9688 ?

    Fram 3593A is a little longer, approx 0.3 inch? 9688 is 3.08 height, 3593A is 3.39 height. 9688 is listed as 9-15 psi, 3593A is listed as 12, psi so basically similar bypass pressure. Gasket dimensions are the same, as is can OD. Both M20x1.5 thread.

    Luber Finer PH2835 Cut Open

    I actually put a WIX 51516 (Fram 3600 interchange) back on the Kawasaki since I have several of these left over from a 2008 Ford Edge I no longer have. It's basically the long version of the 3614, which fits on my zero turn. Use up these since no other vehicles I have use that filter. I do...

It is new, but I did put this filter along with new oil in my lawn tractor transmission which had a Cub Cadet 723-3014 filter. For some reason this PH253EX the tractor wouldn't move, so I thought...

    Can we do more with used oil?

    I burn up a lot of my used oil to help my cutting/trimming burn pile get going good. Kind of analogous to the waste oil heaters many use for heating in winter.
