I decided to get a new 254cc ariens snowblower with the ariens engine. I started it today for about 5 minutes to check the functionality, and yes the oil level was above minimum. All was well. Tomorrow, since it started to rain, I'd like to run it 3 more cycles of 5 minutes with a complete cool...

2018 focus SEL well, got a great deal on it, if I took it. msrp 22215 out the door, with tax, 4 year registration, doc fee of 399, finance at 2.99 percent, 14998.00 huge savings. i got them to even take off the 1215 or so in finance charges from the car price. 67% of the MSRP price AFTER taxes...

So I was thinking after my oil change today. I concluded that owning my truck for 11 years and 3 months is equivalent to 1/4 of my life. At 44, you start thinking about strange things after changing oil and drinking beer. I've driven the same truck for 1/4 my life. Scarier thing, I've driven the...

Tomorrow my 2007 Tundra with 165k miles will start consuming the 10 gallons of Castrol Edge 0w20 that I have. I suspect everything will be fine, but nervous due to this being new but opened oil. It was oil used for testing dispensers. Dispenser was put on 5 gallon container in the off position...

was looking at my oil today. Castrol Edge 0w20: never used it, but got 10 gallons free. This will be used in 2 gallon increments, 10k oci, in my tundra, for the next 50K miles/3 years. Will have 215k at that point. Idemitsu 0w20: Still have 8 gallons left, the rav4 loves it. Using at 5 qqts...

So the first use of Idemitsu 0w20 in wifes 2013 Rav4 seems to be going well. 6k miles, no oil usage, oil is still very clean or light in appearance. It has darkened some but not much. Not sure if this is due to better heat characteristics, not darkening with heat, or just not cleaning as well as...

So, why do you buy cheap oil? Example, walmart supertech synthetic 5qt, 15.68. Mobil 1 sythetic 5qt, 23.97 Price difference =8.29, or 1.65 a quart 1.65 a quart. 1.65 a quart savings for "ok" oil, certainly not great oil. Say you run 5k mile interval. 15.68/5000=.003136 per mile cost...

Engine is Toyota 5.7, 159000 miles. Have been using Mobil 1 0w20, OCI's range from 8-10K. I recently came across 10 gallons of free Castrol Edge 0w20 full synthetic oil. Who thinks it is safe to use the Castrol in the same manner I have used the Mobil 1 in the past? Also, no, I have never had an...

First walmart battery in 27 years of driving. Under 100 bucks, 3 year free replacement, walmarts are everywhere and open all the time. Why not. Looked at napa, bj's, advanced, autozone, sears, ended up with walmart. Hoping for the best...

so who else threw some money at the dismal odds of winning the powerball? of course i did, I do most weeks to be honest. why not, its only a few bucks

yes, i searched. only sales posts come up. so who is actually using this stuff in their car/truck. if so, interval of change? right now I use mobil 1 0w20 for 8-10k oci's. before I go buy it for the sale, who uses it and have you for multiple changes now? thanks

Anyone here remember Prolong? At 18, I put some in my 1 year old truck, 22re toyota. My dad wanted to kick my butt, made me drain the oil. This was about 1993. Good times, not.

So tomorrow will be the dreaded oil change day. I usually love changing oil, but not on my 2007 Tundra with the 5.7, never did. 8.5K on the oil, Mobil1 0w20, and a Napa Gold Filter. At least I will be good until about July-August. 155300 miles.

So I was thinking. It has been at least 10 years, probably closer to 12 years, since I changed the oil in my mower. Got it in 2000. Used 1 hour per week from April-November. I know it had Mobil 1 5w30 last change. Up until the last time, I would change it every season. [censored] thing still...

So I have some old techron, probably 15 to 17 years old. Safe to use? Any effectiveness at this point? All bottles are sealed. Thanks Joe
