    My little interesting dilemma. To do an early Oil change with my 2023 Subaru Impreza or not

    The Subaru H6’s are extremely durable and one of the reasons is probably the much larger oil capacity (almost 7 quarts with filter change) compared to H4’s. They also come standard with the coolant/oil cooler standard on the STI. It’s common for high performance H4 builds to get an air/oil...

    Not buying car parts from eBay anymore, counterfeit parts are a huge problem. Amazon as well. These guys report some reliable dealers.

    Boating season has started

    The saying is “Buying a boat is the second-happiest day of a boat owners life.” Implying selling it is the first. This is probably true for people who suck at buying boats. The first boat we purchased we sold five years later for what we paid for it. Having lived less than 300 yards from the...

    Anyone try Iridium plugs in a lawnmower? It’s the small motor we use the most.

    Post your latest tire purchase

    Michelin Defender 2 on 17” wheels for my daughter’s Prius V. Produced week 41 25 in Mexico. She has Hakkapelliitta R3’s on the stock wheels so winter was not a concern. They sure remind me of the Michelin X of yore. Dealer is in Manchester NH so I asked him how popular the “All Weather” tires...

    I'm going to burn wood for heat! (What do you say?) 🪓🪵🔥

    No, we use 10’ x 4’ racks and cover them with heavy plastic sheet. We store it in the lower yard for a year, then bring it up near the house where it’s exposed to a lot of sun, then to a rack on the covered porch. We store enough for three to four days inside next to the stove, and refill it...

    So Rotella T6 isn’t an ester synthetic anymore?

    No dog in the fight nor does Saint Todd. The claim that Subaru owners exalt this oil is ridiculous. Test includes Royal Purpke and Amsoil, two popular cult brands.

    I'm going to burn wood for heat! (What do you say?) 🪓🪵🔥

    They will clear the driveway area first. Whatever time thry have left over they will cut the trees to log length and grind the tops. This was when we bought the place.

    I'm going to burn wood for heat! (What do you say?) 🪓🪵🔥

    We use a soapstone wood stove as supplemental heat in NH, with most of the wood coming from blow downs. Maybe a cord a season versus 7-8 for wood burning only by the original owner. That will change for the next couple years because we have a lot of Ash being killed by the Ash Borer. A...

    So Rotella T6 isn’t an ester synthetic anymore?

    What “Subaru crowd?” There are nearly 175,000 Subarus in New England including lots of old and high-mileage models and I’ve never seen nor heard that on local forums. Most recent post on NASIOC was suggesting not to use it circa 2022. Most recent oil analysis there was 2021. The last time we...

    Why Royal Enfield is Destroying Harley Davidson

    Yes, HD sales are down and they increased their U.S. market share in that segment, so what does that tell you about the segment? Had this for a while and did a lot of work to the suspension to try and make it handle. The typical HD owner completely ignored it. The young sport bike owners went...
