My favorites for years. I used the Bosch MicroEdge before that.

You could try extracting through the fill hole and see what you get out. Dipsticks in mower engines don't go all the way to the bottom of the sump so aren't really telling you if there's no oil left.

Kohler says their Kohler Pro 10W-50 made by Amsoil is a 300 hour oil interval oil. I wouldn't go 300 hours, but it should be ok for 100 hours in the Predator. I've got Amsoil 10W-40 in my Kohler pressure washer and it's near 100 hours and still clear/no silver stuff.

I haven't used it in years, but it was brake parts cleaner. It dissolved oils and crud and evaporated. I don't see it around here anymore, but I'd buy it if it was cheap or on sale.

Replaced the drivers side windshield washer nozzle on an X3. It started spraying sideways toward the road. Weird, but this is the bar type, not the ball type nozzle. It can only adjust up or down. Yep, tried blowing it out both ways and cleaning with a stiff wire. $12 for a new one isn't bad.

Good analogy. A plant or plants that made glycol burned or blew up or something, creating a "scarcity" and after the production resumed, the price stayed high.

Nothing. My wife came home and I'm only allowed to make coffee.

Recirculate on? Also, on MAX it will also recirculate inside air.

Just about every engine made today has an overhead cam and all have CCs. There's no special worry there and you don't need extra ZDDP. Just pick an oil of the appropriate viscosity, like any xW-30 or xW-40 and get on with life. Pick a Euro oil if you're worried about HTHS and shear.

Yes, but you can't convince some people who want to make up their own specifications. The professional chemists, engineers, and tribologists that make the standards say no, but there are always shoe salesmen who know better.

LL-04 also includes 40 grades.

Marketing. Group "III+" is not officially recognized by API. It's a made up term.

It can't "drop from GTL to III" because GTL is III.

I've only been poisoned by a Chicken a la King MRE. Lobster tastes good because you drown it in butter. Otherwise, pretty bland.

I guess you don't buy bologna at the dollar store.

Coyote or Fox Urine cover scent from the hunting store. Keeps the groundhogs from digging under our fence.

To API, GTL is considered the same as any other Group III.

Old as the hills.

I actually like it at the lower temps. Our BMW minimum is 85F. I plan so the vehicle is leveled and not driven anywhere that day yet. Then get everything ready and positioned. Start the engine, go through the gears once, drop underneath and unscrew the fill port. The fluid at Ambient is...

The filter isn't defective, the installation was.
