With winter approaching I have began doing oil changes for the winter. The new cars go to the dealer but I have an old Silverado with the 4.8 that I bought new in the fall of 99. Always done once every 6 months of AC Delco full synthetic in it. The past 5 years it hasn’t gotten ran much maybe...

Not sure if this is the correct thread to ask on but ill give it a whirl. I have a 19 Silverado 1500LD that I am in the process of mounting a small radio console in for a couple two way radios. If I were to throw some self tapping screws into transmission hump to secure the console is there much...

Was just in my local tractor supply and was getting oil and a filter for the upcoming mower season. I have always used the kohler 5205002s filter that have been the champ labs e-core design ever since I can remember. Well they changed it seems, they have the traditional steel tube in them now...

I recently had my silverado serviced at the dealer after using Mobil 1 and ac delco filter for the past couple years. I notice my oil pressure isn’t running as low at hot idle after towing in the summer. Not sure what kind they used but I can’t imagine it would be anything other then bulk oil...

I had a family member message me the other day and wanted to know if I would change oil in their rider. Husqvarna with a briggs 22hp v twin engine I said sure ill buy the stuff and you pay me back, done deal. I bought Briggs oil and filter. The rider was bought in spring of 2018 and had 180...

I have a 2000 silverado 1500 that I have had for quite some time that I used to daily drive but the past couple years I rarely drive it due to getting a new truck. Decided to keep the old one for a backup/beater rig but I swear the thing goes through batteries like crazy. I have an interstate...

So this winter the father in law had some health issues and is unable to mow this spring for the time being. I was volunteered to mow for him using his John deer rider. Mowed for a bit and he wanted me to change oil in it as well I said sure. I found the large pre filled filter and apparently...

I have a craftsman pressure washer I bought back in 19. Has the Briggs engine and says no oil change needed ever, just checking and add. I figure this year I would go against their advice and change it anyway. No drain plug to be found. How do I drain the oil out?.was thinking of draining the...

I purchased a 19 silverado new back in fall of 19. I have been taking it to the dealer for services since I have a lifetime powertrain warranty. Well ever since Covid they for some reason stopped doing oil changes on the weekends. So in order for me to continue to do this I have to take time off...

I have quite a few vehicles in the family that I service. I am currently out of my stash of Mobil 1 oil. With the rising cost of, well everything I began looking for a Brand a little cheaper and where I am the chevron is a little cheaper. It says it holds the dexos licensing which will be good...

I have a husqvarna ts-348xd with the kohler 7000 series. I usually use the kohler brand synthetic oil but my dealer didn’t have any and no idea when they will get it. The parts guy told me a lot of people have been running the Mobil delvac 10w30 synthetic blend or the rotella 10w30 synthetic...

I have a 04 Yamaha bruin 350 and am looking to service the diff fluids. Bought it brand new and 04 and this would be the first time diff fluids have been changed. I don’t use it much except for in the winter plowing and the rest of the year it just gets moved around from building to building...

Has anyone heard of the rotella gas truck full synthetic oil being discontinued by shell? I was thinking about using it but hate to if it’s being taken off the market. I see it still on shelves but not sure if it’s a rumor or not.

Well with the snow possibly coming this weekend again I thought I would check out my snowplow machine which happens to be an 04 Yamaha bruin 350. While checking the oil i immediately noticed it smelled like gas pretty bad. The oil has a pretty strong odor of gasoline and seems to be pretty thin...

I was in the local parts store today and seen Mobil 1 has a Truck and SUV oil in the required grade for my 19 silverado. I have always had the dealer service it but I think this year I am going to start doing it myself since the last service I had done there was $135 just for the oil change. I...

I have recently purchased a 2013 Chevy impala with the 3.6l engine from a guy that I plan on driving to work to save miles on the new truck. The guy told me whatever you do use the AC delco filter on it when you change oil. He said the dealer told him there was a Service bulletin sent out to the...

Does anyone know how expensive it is to have a electric window fixed on a 2000 silverado? The thing quit years ago so I just always rolled the passenger side window down. Last week the passenger side quit working finally. Sooo me thinks It’s time to look into fixing them. I replaced all switches...

Well it looks as the rubber industry “tires” are being affected by the pandemic. Some of you probably know this I’m sure somehow I didn’t. Anyway back in 2019 I bought a new tandem 18 foot trailer to haul my Polaris side by side and fourwheelers on. Up until a month ago it has went maybe 10...

I read a couple of threads that the AC Delco filters at the dealers are different then the ones you get at the part store. I never believed it and always thought it was just the dealer trying to upsell filters. Fast forward to today. I was at the Chevy dealer getting my silverado serviced. I...

The girlfriend has a 2018 Honda Civic with 35,000 miles. She has always taken it to a quick lube place to get serviced much to my dismay. She had an oil leak so I put it on the lift in my garage to check it out. They cranked down the oil filter with looks like a pair of Vice grips and put a...
