I just received a brand new Hustler Raptor SD 54 from Lowe's today and was doing a fluid check before cutting grass and noticed a potential issue. The hydro reservoir is WAY overfilled... I would say that it is over 3/4 full in fact. The store couldn't answer whether they topped it off or it...

70S COMMERCIAL MOBIL 1 Wow! Talk about bold claims... I guess they could get away with a lot more back then.

I just scored some of the Edge 5w50 reforumulated for classic cars with higher zinc and was wondering if it would be well suited for my Mercruiser 3.0. It's a 2013 carbed model with about 22 hours on it. Any thoughts are appreciated.

I just replaced a couple of junk pieces of equipment with a Tanaka trimmer and a Hitachi blower. Hitachi and Tanaka are the same company and are trying to get a foothold here in the U.S.. I am EXTREMELY pleased with these units and just wanted everyone to know that for the money they can not be...

I just scored three jugs of QS UD 0w20 at $15 each at Walmart. Do you guys think the slightly thinner 0w20 would be of any concern in the Hemi? I normally use M1 5w20....

I'm going to be prepping my generator for the storm this evening by changing the oil and picking up a couple of extra spark plugs. I am debating on which oil I will be using. I currently have some Castrol RS Racing 4T 10w40, Mobil Delvac 15w40, and Shell 30 weight. Which one would be better...

Just scored a stray qt at WM in the 10w40 variety for $2. Going to put in to use in my little 6.5 hp chonda powered generator... Good choice? Heck of deal!

After 5 years since last using GC, I am now using it again and buildind a stash. I had been using PP in my previous vehicle and Mobil 1 0w40 in my current. I recently tried PU 5w40 and noticed more noise, so I started looking at what was on sale and noticed GC with a K&N filter for $30. I have...

I've been using Mobil 1 0w40 and was lucky enough to get a case of PU for free a while back. My impression is that there is more noise with the PU especially at start up. Anyone else tried it and noticed the same? I went ahead and bought some GC on sale at Autozone to try before I go back to...

My lawn tractor is coming up for it's first OCI. I currently have an unopened jug of Delvac 15w40 on the shelf in the garage and I'm debating if I should use it or go buy some Rotella 30w for it. BTW, it's the pressurized set up. Temps will be HOT and humid. Mobile, AL during the summer.....

It's not even delivered yet and I'm already thinking about what oil to use. I have plenty of Delvac 15w40 on hand. Do you guys think I should just use it? Btw, engine is a Kohler Courage 21hp.

As the title says, I'm contemplating switching to Rotella Synthetic in my 08 Caliber SRT-4. I recently did some mild mods like the Mopar stage 1 upgrade and an intake. The car is now boosting 14 psi. What I don't like about the Mobil 1 is it's inability to stay in grade. I was doing some digging...

I'm trying to change the oil in my girlfriends Camry and the oil filter is stuck in place. The Pureone filter casing is so soft that the wrench just rounds off the grip on the end of the filter. I didn't put the filter on there THAT tight that I remember. Do you guys know any tricks to get the...

Over the years I have recieved many helpful tips here at BITOG. I'd like to give back by sharing something I just learned by experimenting with different household cleaners while trying to remove hard water spots from my car's windows. I tried the usual 50/50 vinegar water mixture and many other...

Well, I just changed my Caliber SRT-4 Getrag 6 speed over to Amsoil MTF. Chrysler specs ATF+4, but I think it's just to thin. Shifting may require a little more effort now, but the notchy feeling is gone.

I've been contemplating changing out the ATF+4 fluid in the Getrag 6 speed mt in my new Caliber SRT-4. I want something that will allow for smoother shifting and be better suited for this application. During my search I stumbled across the following link that states that a Chrysler engineer...

As some of you know I recently bought a Dodge Caliber SRT-4. I swapped out the factory fill at 860 miles for fresh fill of M1 0w40 and I'm starting to think about my next oil change. Dodge calls for M1 0w40 or a synthetic 5w40 if M1 0w40 is not available. I will eventually go with a stage 1...

Hey, have any of you guys seen M1 0w40 in a 5 qt container at WM? I know my local store only carries it in single quarts and before I go looking I wanted to know if you guys have ever seen it. Thanks in advance.

Hey guys I found a steal on a left over 08 SRT-4. I'm going to look at it tomorrow. What do you guys think of the new 2.4l world engine? What about the car in general? I know it's no where near the best in class, but it's a deal!

As the title states. I'm done changing oil in my 2 year old Toro Recycler. It has become very obvious the Tecumseh flat head is going to outlast the mower by far. The mower is aging very fast and I just don't see the point in ever changing the oil at this point. It currently has a fill of Mobil1...
