Why is 2T JASO 2 cycle oil allowed for PWCs but not outboard motors? They are both water cooled 2 stroke. Some of the hybrid jet boats are simply large PWCs with extra seating. Some even come with outboard motors in a layed down configuration. Would they use TCW-3 or JASO?

I have a friend who has an old vintage camping trailer. It's on the small side, probably 15 feet or so. Any way, he rebuilt it and when it came time to do the brakes he simply disconnected them by removing the surge brake hydraulic tongue and bolted on a fixed unit. So now his trailer has no...

Sorry if this topic has been beat to death already. Sitting around on a rainy day and just saw this video. Being a Pennzoil Platinum user and always had good results, I was bothered by this guy's finding. How can PP come out so badly especially the cold pour test where PP came out in globs...

Went to my local O'reily auto parts store to get some T6 for an upcoming oil change. Was shocked to find the cost was over $33 for a gallon. Decided to shop around. The best I could find was Walmart but they were expensive too at over $26. I noticed Delo full synthetic is still cheap at around...

I have an old Johnson 3 hp outboard. I normally run TCW-3 oil in it's gas. I keep a gas can mixed with TC oil (air cooled 2 stroke engines) for my weed eater and leaf blower. The owners manuals for those state not to use marine water cooled (TCW-3) oil. Is it OK to use TC oil mixed gas in the...

Is laying a refrigerator down on it's side harmful to it?

How often should the refrigerator water filter be replaced? The manufacturers say 6 months but I know they want to sell replacement filters. What is the "real" filter life span?

Recently I've notice a lot of California license plates with the white reflective background sanded off. Anybody know the purpose of this?

Somehow my wife and her son got it in their heads that they need to spend $20 a gallon on special ethanol free fuel for their new Yamaha pressure washer. I'm telling them they can use pump gas just like I do with with every lawn mower I have ever owned. I think the gas I buy (top tier) is E10 as...

Just did my annual lawn mower oil change. Dumped out the old 30w oil and it poured out like water. Smelled like gas too. It's a Honda GVC160 engine. Otherwise it works perfect. Is it normal for these engines to dilute the oil?

Most of my driving was commuting to work. I had been averaging 12k miles per year on both my car and my truck. I was switching between the two and put 6k on each per year. Because of Covid-19, last March my company directed me to work from home full time and the way they are sounding it's likely...

You would think that mid grade gas is a mixture of regular unleaded and premium. At many gas stations it's priced exactly like that, right in the middle. But I'm noticing a trend at many gas stations these days. They are pricing mid-grade almost as much as premium. Example: Regular 2.99...

Air filters for our vehicles come either way. With foam facing and without. Which one is better? I'm thinking the ones with foam may filter the air better but may restrict air flow?

I went to WalMart yesterday to pick up a jug of PP 0w20 to do my car's annual oil change. To my surprise they did not have my favorite PP 0w20 on the shelf but they had PP HM 0w20. So then I had a decision to make. Should I go ahead and get the PP HM or get regular M1 0W20? I have never used a...
