I mow a few acres that is all hill with my JD 185 riding mower, when I first got it I couldn't get any traction on the hill so I got a pair of Kenda Scorpion knobbies that work great. Wouldn't trade them for anything at this point. They don't mess up the grass for me at all.

I use the FL820S on the Taurus and have for some years now. I cut each open after the 5k OCI and have had nothing but filters that have done their job.

I have an old edger that I will probably try to sell that I just pulled out of the shed. I wanted to change the oil before starting it because it hadn't been run in ten (or more) years. Have had a sealed bottle of Pennzoil HD 10W40 API SE/SF on the shelf so long I don't even know where it came...

I have the 460 (fuel injected) in my '96 F350 that I use to haul a 30' 5th wheel. I started using the Rotella T5 10W30 in it a year or two ago and can't think of a better oil to use. I change it once a year since I don't put all that many miles on it but when I do run it it gets run pretty hard...

I've been running Hankook Dynapro ATM (285/75-16) on my '96 F350. quite a bit different than your pickup, but I have been very pleased with them. Have had them on about 4-5 years but only put between 2-3K miles on it a year.

1996 Ford F350 (w/460) 123k, 2k OCI @ 13 months Out - Rotella T5 10W30 / Purolator PL30001 In - Rotella T5 10W30 / Motorcraft FL1A

I've spent some time (on foot) on sections of the PCT between hwy 22 and hwy 58. there is a lot of loose sand, scree, mud and maybe even some snow left around (even in July although it's finally starting to warm up around here). Seems like the gatorskin is more of a pavement type tire that would...

2002 Ford Taurus 3.0 Duratec, OCI of 5,295 miles Out: Havoline DS 5w20 w/MC FL820 In: Motorcraft syn blend 5w20 w/MC FL820 My Dad recently got rid of his '05 Ford 500 and got a new Fusion, didn't need the jug of 5w20 from his stash since the new car is the ecoboost that takes 5w30. Win for...

My Focus is supposed to take 4.5 quarts, I use a slightly larger filter (FL400S v. FL920S) and fit 5 quarts in without going past the over full mark. Maybe find a slightly larger capacity filter and buy a 4 qt jug + 1 qt bottle. Main reason I did that was to fit the extra oil in, but it's not a...

I have a '12 Focus with the 2.0 and 5 speed, I bought it used with 14k on it and now am at 36k. I love the car, combined city/highway I get 33-35mpg. I had to look for a while to find a used 5 speed though, pretty rare animal I guess. I think it could use a shorter throw shifter, but that would...

About twenty years ago I bought an '80 Bronco, after owning it a while I found a ball peen hammer down in the grill/radiator area. I cleaned the handle and wire wheeled the rust off of the head, it had clearly been there a long time. That Bronco is long gone, but the hammer is still in my tool box.

'96 Honda VFR750 Out: Rotella T 15W40 w/Purolator L14610 In: Rotella T 15W40 w/Purolator L14610 Pretty low miles this last go round, need to make more time for riding this year. I think I will switch to Wix 51356 next season

In my '96 F350: Rear - Valvoline synthetic 75W140 (w/'08 Ford aluminum dif cover) Front - Valvoline synthetic blend 80W90

Ford specs 5w30 in the ecoboost engines, not the 5w20, so the 10w30 isn't as far off as you may think

^^ x2 I started running Rotella T5 10w30 in my 460 and never looked back. I think it's the best for the job and good year round. I use the pickup for towing a 30' 5th wheel mostly

I like the new Honda CB1100, reminds me of the CB750 from the 70's. If I were in the market for a new bike I'd have to think really hard about that one. For now I'm keeping the VFR, had it for 15 years now and don't want to get rid of it for fear that I wouldn't be able to get another bike.

Russia shot down one of our planes when it violated their airspace in May of '60. Why should they cry foul when someone shoots one of theirs down for doing the same thing?

A few weeks ago I bought a 5 qt jug of Pennzoil Platinum 5w20 for 22.68, Pennzoil has a $10.00 mail in rebate going right now until the end of November so when that comes in I'll be into it for 12.68. I know some don't want to bother with those rebates, but I've never had an issue getting them...
