Does anybody have experience with PC-based OBDII scanners/software? I’m looking to purchase one, but don’t know which one to buy or which software to used. Thanks and Happy Thanksgiving!

What is the best why to adjust engine speed on a Honda GC160? I know on a standard Briggs and Stratton you can just tighten up the governor spring. Is this how it is done on the Honda too? Mine engine is running at around 2900-3000 rpm. I’d like to set it closer to 3200. Thanks. HEV

I recently replaced the gear oil in my Jeep Grand Cherokee (Dana 35c w/limited slip) with SFs HDS-5 GL5 in 75W-140. So far, I’m very impressed. I have no audible gear whine with this lube. The gear oil I replaced was Schaeffer’s 80W-90. The Schaeffer’s was in service for about 30K miles and held...

Here is my most recent (on left) UOI on our 1999 Volvo S70 T5. This is my second run on standard SM 10W-30 Mobil 1 with 300 ml Schaeffer’s #132 Moly E.P. Oil Treatment. Also, an initial 6 oz. dose of Lube Control + 2 oz/1000 miles was added. There was no makeup oil. Oil filter was a Mann and air...

Can you guys help me out hear. My brother-in-law just bought a used 04 530 with 18,000 miles on it. I need to give him a recommendation on an appropriate oil (warrantee compliant). Of course BMW says to only use their synthetic 5W-30 oil. What else is there to use??? Thanks. Hev

Old Amsoil 100:1 Surplus Hi all. I’ve got nearly a full quart of the Old Amsoil 100:1. I’ve also got a new quart of the Saber 100:1, in addition to a pint of MX2T. Now I’ve about ten years worth of oil! I really like the new Saber and the MX2T. What should I do with the old Amsoil 100:1...

Is their any benefit or detriment to running Lube Control in my 2-cycle fuel mix? I already add Fuel Power to the gas. Just curious.

Here is an older UOA of mine. I thought you all might be interested to see what an analyses looks like when a vehicle is run without an air filter. Details: Jeep was stolen on November 17, 2003 and recovered on December 3, 2003. Jeep was in the shop off and on until mid January. Oil and filter...

I was at Home Depot yesterday just browsing the Lawn and Garden Section. I happened to notice a broken down, dilapidated Honda box with various parts sticking out. On closer inspection, it was a brand new FG100 Mini-Tiller with the 1.5 hp GX31 motor. I tracked down the department manager and...

I stopped in at Kragen’s today to check out a pressure washer they had in their weekly ad. I was shocked when I looked at it. It looked to have a Honda GX series commercial grade engine. On closer inspection, it was like looking a forged $20 bill. It was a nearly exact Chinese knock-off. It was...
