I searched PG part numbers that only had a basic filter mapped to a vehicle or filter cross on the PG website, and there are XC placeholders. I would assume that PG plans on expanding their catalog since they're making premium filters for the U.S. part houses.

They may not sell enough to warrant paying for the API donut license even if it meets a certain standard. You can always contact Mobil and ask. https://www.mobil.com/en/lubricants/for-personal-vehicles/our-products/products/mobil-1-supercar-0w-40

Companies that do their own maintenance on vehicle fleets don't have time to mess with a library of oil viscosities. They use what works across the board with what they run. People here would have a meltdown seeing me dump 15W-40 into an irrigation motor that clearly says 5W-30 on the oil cap...

Use a breaker bar or 1/2" impact wrench to tighten the snot out of it next time. That should alleviate your concerns.

The Wall Street Journal reported today that Shell is in early discussions to acquire BP. The WSJ piece is behind a paywall. https://www.reuters.com/business/energy/shell-early-talks-buy-bp-wsj-reports-2025-06-25/...

If you paid for the refrigerator with a major credit card, most will double manufacturer's warranties up to a year.

I just get the cheap fiberglass ones and change every 30 days. There are systems like from AprilAire you can have installed that'll provide more filtration without restricting the blower motor due to the larger filter area. Talk to your local HVAC people for options.

Modern digital radiographs expose patients to way less radiation than back when film was used. I guess I would rather my dentist have as much information as possible to help prevent small issues from becoming expensive restorations. My practitioner has a membership plan thing where the...

According to the product data sheet (PDS), it's rated for API SN & SN Plus, so plenty of gas motors will be able to use it. https://cglapps.chevron.com/msdspds/PDSDetailPage.aspx?docDataId=493727&docFormat=PDF

2004 GMC Sierra 2500 Fleetguard LF16102 filter 10qts John Deere Plus-50 II engine oil.

Lol, there's nothing wrong with bulk oil. Every now and again a thread pops up from someone all worried that it isn't the same as bottled, and their engine is going to blow up.

Bulk oil...ewwwww

There's no shame in using a quick lube place. Although, it's probably a good idea to know how to check things over before you leave the lot.

Check the owner's manual for specified octane. You're wasting your money paying extra for gas with an octane rating higher than what the manual calls for. If you really want to feel like you're doing anything for your vehicle at the pump, go to a TopTier station. Participating brands will have...

Dealerships know that they are competing with the parts houses on common stuff like filters and batteries, so go with them if they're the cheapest. All batteries sold in the U.S. are only made by a handful of manufacturers anyways. On the farm, we tend to have the fewest issues with batteries...

We use a Milwaukee M18 electric gun with a Lock-N-Lube nozzle at the shop. Manual John Deere heavy duty pistol grip goes in the truck, but that's just a rebranded Alemite model 555-E. These grease tube shortages are starting to get annoying though. I might have to look into spending the money...

I use John Deere 15W-40 out of the bulk tote. Mowers aren't particularly fussy about their oil.

I always do a fresh Windows install on new hard drives. With cloud services, there's very little that I store locally anymore. The one time I did clone someone's laptop, I used Macrium Reflect and a SATA to USB cable.

There are still a couple years left, but Microsoft will stop supporting Windows 10 in October, 2025. Upgrading to 11 means the machine will still get OS security updates. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/lifecycle/products/windows-10-home-and-pro

On the farm I work on, we've plugged everything from lawnmower to semi truck tires, lol.
