    .455 Webley Ammo

    Brass should last a bunch of times, and it's easy to retain and keep clean with revolver brass. Reloading equipment will be the main initial investment.

    .455 Webley Ammo

    If you don't roll your own then you need to try a few commercially available offerings, they are not gonna be cheap as it's not a very common round. How much of that ammo do you burn thru in a year? I reload 9mm since 2009, used to easily shoot 10-12k rounds a year so reloading was not only for...

    Mobil 1 ESP 0w30 engine cleaning results

    It was on 15W-40 at least 70% of it's life from the start. First 2 years of factory (bumper to bumper) warranty included free oil changes and that was the viscosity dealer used. Later I started learning about oil and used 5w-40 and 0w-40 and 5w-30 out of curiosity. I now don't recall what engine...

    Mobil 1 ESP 0w30 engine cleaning results

    I was running mostly Mobil 1 silver label (advanced synth?) in my VW back in the day with normal OCI being 5k miles but ran 10k miles a few times too. Took valve cover off while doing timing belt and PCV changes at about 120k miles (iirc) and was quite surprised how clean it was under the cover...

    BMW is now showing movie ads in your car.

    Receiving a hard copy payroll check from your employer.

    It's not an employer's problem, but if they want to retain the employee they would accommodate such a need. I recall reading an article where some smaller company paid employees in gold and silver coins to reduce taxes and some other fees etc, basically documenting values printed on the coins...

    Receiving a hard copy payroll check from your employer.

    A person may have had bank account/s frozen and cannot get money out due to insolvency or going thru bankruptcy and doesn't want to risk losing access to their money if they deposit, even if they can.

    Bosch Icons fixed the Explorer streak

    The only blades I buy as well, after trying many brands and models over years. They work very well and normally last 2 years before i replace them to regain the 'perfection'.

    Possibly both, running very low or basically out of oil and running while not moving for weeks.

    severe sludge accumulation in low-mileage engine (video)

    That's what he was saying in the video, something like 12k miles and idling for days at a time too. So, maybe some thousands of engine hours.

    Supertech oil price increase - Canada

    I did oil change not long ago using Motomaster Premium OE+ Euro in 0w-30 (made in Germany) which is essentially same as Pennzoil Platinum Euro LX and according to my records that jug cost me C$25, bought it on sale while Canadian Tire had good money back deal. If you shop in advance then you can...

    Supertech oil price increase - Canada

    That's C$5.77 per liter, or C$28.85 per 5 liters. Personally, I tried both SuperTech and Kirkland oils in my Kias and they didn't work too well, Sportage started burning oil right after, or even during having one of those on. 3 OCIs with Valvoline Restore and Protect did the trick thou.

    How many drain and fills should I be doing during a transmission fluid change?

    Are there easily accessible ATF cooler lines like in my 2014 cars in signature? If they are, you can perform drain and fill first and then remove and replace the rest of old ATF via cooler line, 1qt at a time. On both cars that we have lines have color dots - red for line going out of...
