So my favorite wash and wax, Turtle wax ICE seems to have been discontinued. I loved that stuff it gave a great shine between hand waxes. That being said, I walked into my local auto parts store and not knowing anything about these new ceramic coatings I bought Griots Ceramic wash and coat. My...

No Kidding I just made this for dinner and it's the BEST pork chop I've ever had, at home or a restaurant.

Asking your opinion, should I trade in my 2018 Avalon? I bought it used with 15k on the odometer for a total of 23k out the door. I have to say it is a great car. Quiet. Drivetrain that is as smooth as butter. Just 2 weeks ago I got a VROOM quote for my car at $24266, so I figure this is what a...

Cooking now in my crock pot and can't wait to get home. This version not only has Guinness, but I also threw in 1/2 cup of Jameson coffee infused whiskey limited edition. I'm all in for the Irish tonight :) Chuck roast yukon gold potatoes carrots celery 1 bottle Guiness 1/2 cup Jameson coffee...

As some of you read I was searching for a 2012 Avalon to replace my 2003 Grand Marquis. Couldn't find anything worth my money, but did find a 2018 XLE Avalon. Should last me a long time. Mileage 16k as of now. About 15k when purchased. Smooth 3.5 v6 and 6 speed trans. Very quiet interior. It...

I am looking to replace the Grand Marquis it's starting to nickel and dime me to death. I still like big cars, you know the old man type that runs smooth, quiet and does not garner a lot of attraction from law enforcement? So I will be looking at 2 Avalons, both 2012 Limited models. One with...

I've come across a mint GS300 AWD with only 30k on it. Asking $14k. Thoughts from any owners? Should be a reliable car but I'd like to hear from the horses mouth so to speak. I don't need the car. My 2001 Grand Marquis has a long life ahead and it's not in perfect condition so I don't worry...

I'm kind of bored so I thought I would post an old UOA on my 2011 Road King using 20w-50 VR1 dino. I never posted it before but I thought some people may want to see. It's from 2012 and my bike had 12k on it. I may test again this summer to see how it's holding up with just over 43k on it. I'm...

So last year I bought for myself a Toro Personal pace lawnmower. Starts easy, stows away nice, but the drive system I am not crazy about. Same thing as on my old Snapper, at times when I run into a dead end and have to back the mower up, the wheels don't spin. The drive does not fully disengage...

Hi guys I'm looking for advice on a new lawnmower. My criteria: It has to fold for easy storage. My garage is filled with toys and space is a premium. I'd like an easy height adjustment, preferable a single handle. Self propelled. Bag or mulch capabilities. Let's hear your ideas and feedback on...

I thought I'd post in this section because it's motorcycle specific. I was at Autozone this evening, and all the Valvoline and Castrol motorcycle oils are on sale for $2.99/qt. Anybody have any opinions on these oils?

Just bought this car. Looking thru the owners manual, it specs 5-20w for oil. It's been so long since I'vve had a V-8, and maybe I'm thinking about days gone by, but I'm pretty hesitant to use this grade of oil. Any Crown Vic/ Merc owners out there? What are you using?

Does anybody offer a cold air intake for this car? Are there any forums I can find information for Crown Vic / Marquis owners?

Anybody lubing their speedo cable? What are you using?

Can anybody tell me the difference between the EAOM134 and the EAOM135? Are the filters different lengths? I have a 1988 Evo and a 2006 FXD, and I'd like to use the largest capacity filter for both bikes.

On the WIX website, beta ratio is given for the filters when you look one up. What is beta ratio? What does it mean? Why don't I see it on other manufacturers websites?

I have a 1999 Sable and I am now using M15w-30 for a once per year oil change which is approx 8k. Is the filter up to it? Or should I be using something else?

Anybody have any idea what this new stuff is from Harley? It's supposed to be used for transmissions and primary lubrication. It has to be better than the old sport trans fluid, I'm wondering if it's closer to a 75-90 gear lube than in the past. Any analysis done on it?

I am fairly new to this site. I am wondering how long should oil last with a bypass filter? Is it true oil does not wear out, but the contaminents are why we have to change it? Theoretically, can one run oil forever if it is filtered properly?

Are these filters a magnet? How can they filter on an automatic transmission, isn't most of the wear aluminum? Aluminum is not magnetic. Does anybody use these filters? What am I missing? How good are they?
