Hi guys, I am getting codes P0136 and P0137, bank 1 sensor 2. Planning on replacing the o2 sensor, but the wiring from the sensor go through a grommet in the unibody frame and I cannot see where the wiring harness is plugged into. Don't wanna pull too hard on wires. What's the deal with this? I...

Yes, thankfully it does have a dipstick.

Inherited a 2014 Yaris in 2018 with 3k on it. Was seldom driven, and when it was, it was short tripped in an urban environment. I've got about 30k on it now and decided I ought to change the filter due to the age. I drained/filled the trans pan a year or so ago. What's the best deal on ATF WS...

Got a few boxes of this "MaxxTech" brass case 115 9mm target ammo. Wasn't my first choice but we all know the circumstances. It is claimed to be non-corrosive, brass cased and made in Bosnia and Herzegovina. I do also have some Federal AE 9mm boxes too. There's not much of anything for reviews...

I'd stick with gas. Less expensive, and I'd be willing to claim that a Toro with a Honda on top, if taken care of, will last infinitely longer than any electric/battery unit. What happened to your current mower?

I'm unsure of the truth behind it but I do see VP Racing full syn "small engine oil" branded as "SAE 30/10w-30" https://vpracingfuels.com/product/4-cycle-sae-30-10w30-full-synthetic/?c=245

Tough to get it nice... it's a piece that is constantly pelted and stained with fast traveling grass. The only needed thing is to just take a metal scraper and clean off the inside of the shield from excessive buildup, usually from trimming wet grass. Cheaper to buy a new one than the...

Don't mean to be grammar police, but since you said so... "STIHL" as a brand name in text, is capitalized when written/typed correctly, STIHL itself even tells dealers that. I'm a factory trained STIHL Silver tech and worked at a dealer for years. Look on any of their advertisement, product info...

No, too thin and likely would increase oil consumption. Unless you are using the engine in sub-freezing temps, a 10w-30 or SAE 30 conventional oil is a good choice.

"Torch" plugs are questionable Chinese made, should be replaced as soon as convenient.

Many pro-grade trimmers have a greaseable head, but a handful of newer STIHL trimmers I see are doing away with the grease plug.

Just ordered a couple cases of what was listed AS Mercon V on Amazon for a great deal, not the typical Valvoline "For Mercon V applications." The actual quarts have "for MV applications. This fluid is not licenced by Ford" Is this just as good as the other official Merc V bottlers like...

Really?? Why do I get so much business fixing ethanol fuel related problems?

Looking to get multiple gallons of some sort of ethanol free premix for OPE (ex: Stihl MotoMix, VP SEF, etc). I do not see anything cheaper than 13.XX/gallon factoring in coupons, sales, buying a 5 gallon pail. Am I missing something or does anyone have a lead? Thanks in advance. No, I do not...

These trimmers in in scrap piles of most small engine shops nationwide. MTD makes TB, Crapsman, etc. I see them everywhere with bad carbs because they are too cheap to justify fixing w/labor. Keep looking and you can find one. I think I have a similar Crapsman trimmer in my scrap pile... and 5...

If it was dropped at the curb as "free" then it's fair game. If you picked it up from a strangers house and fixed it, would you give it back?

Amazon offers a wide selection of handheld/backpack gas blowers, from junk MTDs to Husqvarnas. The obviously have had defective/problem units, but my question is, how would one go about returning one? Amazon doesn't take anything back that's flammable/gasoline related (including most spray...

Those old Kiortz Corp gray echo trimmers are awesome. I just replaced my SRM-210 bought by my father ~20 years ago with a slightly younger PAS-230 I got for free.

My work sells those. They seem ok for an MTD, somewhat better built than the Yard Machines line they make. I am really curious to see the long term results of these new homeowner mowers with the plastic body parts off the deck where the wheels attach... they won't rust out like the metal, but...

Family member just picked up a 38k 2013 FJ Cruiser TT 4x4 with the automatic. I've heard a lot of discord on their forums about 75w-90, 80w-90, 75w-140, etc. The truck will be mostly used for on-road 40/60 hwy/suburban driving. I'm wondering what the word is here. I plan on using Valvoline Syn...
