    Date code on new marine starting battery

    I need to replace my marine starting battery. Due to incentives and coupons etc... I went to Advance Auto to see what they have. In stock they had two starting batteries in the size I need. Both had a date code of 8/16. Is that too old or too long to have been sitting on a shelf. Does that...

    2004 Jeep Wrangler high mileage oil suggestion

    A friend of mine recently acquired a 2004 Wrangler with the 4 liter 6 cylinder engine. This engine has 270,000 miles on it. I believe suggested oil is 10w30. With this many miles would 10w30 still be the best oil? Climate is central NY where temps range from well below zero to mid 90s. This...

    Yesterday I bought a used 2013 Crestliner Fishhawk 1600. It has the Mercury 60 hp ELPT four stroke on it. Prior to buying it I did some research as to recommended oil and read that many use a 25W40. When I picked it up I spoke with the tech who went over the boat with me. I asked him what oil...

    Nissan 9.9 Milky Gear Lube

    Last year I bought a used Nissan 9.9 two stroke outboard. It was made in 1998. I used it once as I only planned on using it for lakes with 10 hp limits. Normally I use my Evinrude 15 hp. I just changed the gear lube and it was milky. I am hoping water mixed in only due to bad washers on the...

    2001 Kawasaki Prairie 300 Oil

    I own a 2001 Kawasaki Prairie 300 4x4. I bought it new and the only oils I have used have been Kawasaki brand 10W40 ATV oil and Valvoline 10W40 ATV oil. I have been reading how people who own ATV's without a wet clutch use all sorts of different oils. My question is should I continue to use ATV...
