I am back on my endless search for perfection so I am looking for a better oil for plain bearings that won't gum as easily as Supco turbine oil in the zoom spout oiler. I came across two products which may very well be the same product in different bottles sold by different companies.

I came across an interesting question on a heating and air conditioning forum that I am on. Another member was in a situation where he needed to know if the oil in an air conditioning system he's working on was Poe oil or mineral oil so I was wondering if any of you know of a simple way to test...

I have been working on quite a few of these Whirlpool (also sold as Amana) dryers that only have two drum rollers and the bearings wear out rather quickly. I am told they are self lubricating bearings but they don't last like most other dryer rollers do when left dry so I am trying to find a...

I am in the process of upgrading the seats in my 2000 Silverado 1500 from manual to power seats. The power frames I am using are out of a 2002 Tahoe that had 285,000 miles (that I unfortunately wreaked) so they are well used but have never given me any trouble. Before I install the upholstery...

I am planning on installing a toilet paper bypass filter on my 2000 Chevy Silverado 1500 and last time I researched them on here and other places about 5 years ago all I found was the Frantz filter that uses special media that isn't really that cheap. Anyway I started researching again when I...

So I have been researching grease because I need to service my front wheel bearings in my 2000 F350. So I came up with 3 options and I am trying to decide which one is best. I am trying to decide between Mobil 1 synthetic Mobility SHC 100 Mobil SHC Polyrex 462 (or 222) I would like to...

So i bought some " super slick stuff" by protexall products incorporation. It says: A clean lubricant for metal that STAYS clean. Lifting action is immediate. It lifs rust, grime, dirt and built-up grease. It is an excellent penetrant. Try it on a greasy, dirty bike chain, rusty garden tools...

So i have a 2002 chevy tahoe 5.3 v8 with 255000 miles and i am trying to decide what to use for my next oil change. Here is some history. I used M1 0w-40 European spec with a M1-206a oil filter with the thought that a thicker oil may quiet my noisy gm lifters(not my idea). So not only did it...

So i got my wife a 7 speed bike that was barely used it still had the factory grease on the chain. So the first problem was that the rear derailleur wanted to hit the spokes of the wheel if I put it into lower gears so I thought I know how to fix that, shorten the chain. So I removed 5 links...

I just recently replaced my 2002 chevy tahoe transmission and would like to make it last. I am planning some cooling system upgrades and thought i might add a remote spin on filter. My question is would an engine oil filter be a good choice for a remote transmission filter? The filter i had in...
