    Snowblower: Honda vs. Ariens

    I was at Home depot the other day with my kid and after owning my Honda for 3 winters and it was striking how cheaply made the Ariens were in comparison. It really stood out after being used to nothing but Honda. Get a Honda if you can afford it. I'm a cheap [censored] but spend big money on...

    Commercial Bunn VP-17, we love ours. https://www.amazon.com/13300-0001-VP17-1...ords=bunn+vp-17 Made in USA, last coffee maker you will ever buy. Does it have bells and whistles? Nope. But if you load it with coffee the night before and all you have to do is pour water in the top to have a...

    Heating my home

    Electricity where I live is 3x more expensive than natural gas. My highest natural gas bill last winter with my furnace set at 72 degrees 24/7 for a month where the Avg. temp was in single digits was $200. That's heat, hot water, stove. My house has new windows/doors but isn't even insulated...

    Oil for a Honda Snow Blower.....???

    I use AMSoil 4-stroke small engine oil SAE30/10W-30 in my Honda HS928. Starts on the first pull every time regardless of temperature. A true sheer stable synthetic SAE30 that is able to meet the cold flow specs of a 10W-30.

    Something needs to be done with truckers

    By and far the worst, most dangerous drivers on the road are in passenger vehicles PERIOD. Yes there's plenty of idiot truckers but for every idiot there's 100 insane people in a passenger vehicles texting or putting their make-up on at 80MPH. I know the OP hates truckers and we all have a...

    Amsoil ATF vs. ATL - Honda Applications

    I used AMSoil's fuel efficient low viscosity ATF in my wife's 07' Civic with no issues. My other vehicle needed the same type of ATF and I just wanted one on hand. I used the same reasoning that they now specify DW-1 as replacement that it should be fine and it is. No noticable difference.

    Garbage undersink disposals?

    The key is to run the water for awhile after running it, too many shut everything down right away leaving potential gunk to sit in the lateral somewhere

    Sportster Primary.....

    I run AMSoil 20W-50 V-twin in both holes. Would be interested to try a redline product. I doubt I'd notice much difference but it might be worth a try just to say I did it. The clunk will be in a sporty transmission no matter what oil is in there. You are right it's just the way they are.

    2015 VW Passat TDI 2.0

    Any low-saps oil is just fine. Mobil 1 ESP 5W-30 or 0W-30 which they just released to replace their 5W-40 is a great choice. Also the Pennzoil Ultra Euro L 5W-30 as well was the AMSoil Euro 5W-30 is great. My cruze diesel for all intensive purposes requires the same type of oil and I run the...

    Deadblow hammer

    We use quiet a few Harbor Freight tools in all our service trucks at the pipeline and excavating company I work for and after 3 years most all of these many times abused tools, are still in there. I think the reasoning for the owner using the cheap tools is that sometimes these tools end up in...

    Start Your Lawnmowers...

    No need to ever test a thing here. My OPE has always been Honda and I put some MMO in the gas can every time I fill it up with no stabilizer and never had a carb issue. Motorcycle is plugged into battery tender jr. year round. Even in the summer. Battery going on 7 years old right now.
