    Can you change oil filter without draining oil?

    I’ve done the shop vac trick taking the drain bolt off to replace a washer. Worked great. Perhaps would work for you but as someone said previously, might depend on placement location of filter.

    Chemical Components of a DI Additive package III

    No, you don’t want to be using TPPT in a new formulation now. It has a new Global reclassification attached to it so people are now moving away from it. You’ll want to look at alternatives to TPPT in a formulation because if you don’t do it now, you end up doing it later. It’s recent...

    Dickey Betts Passed Away

    An all time favorite band of mine. Saw them in 75’ at Roosevelt Stadium (NJ). Wish I could remember more about the concert.

    Boutique (Amsoil etc) vs premium normal (Mobil1 etc)?

    OK, here is the secret that nobody will ever share with you. Are you ready? ……A product like Amsoil versus standard commercial product like Mobil 1 is the same as drinking top shelf liquor versus that which is not top shelf. They both get the job done. One just does it a little “nicer”.

    Cat Is urinating outside of catbox.

    Not unusual when something is medically wrong. It’s not unusual when cats aren’t feeling well for them to pee outside the box. Definitely needs to go to the vet.

    EGO - String Trimmer & Leaf Blower - Lowes $179

    Same here. I have the 18 inch chainsaw and it’s my “go to” saw every possible opportunity. I put up four cords of wood last year with that saw. I love it!

    Another article about vehicles sending data to their insurance company via Lexus Nexus

    Of course. That’s been going on for many years. Similar to the black box recorder in aircraft.

    Synthetic oil question about length of time not miles

    No problem with 2 years. If you wake up at night thinking about it get a sample tested at 1 year mark and then decide.

    API finds nearly half of certified oils have issues

    46% globally is a much too general statement. To be meaningful, we need to understand which of the products that are labeled questionable are mfg outside the US and not from major producers. As I think, we all know, there is an extremely large number of smaller companies that are putting...

    That was my mistake. Wasn’t thinking right and I scratched off the 2 because yesterday was March 2nd.

    When was this battery mfgr??

    Thanks everyone for the clarification on the date code. The Interstate battery replaces the original OEM battery in my 2016 Ford edge. Interesting though, the batteries appear to be the exact same battery from the same mfg. The plastic casings are absolutely identical and both say made in Mexico...

    When was this battery mfgr??

    Can anybody tell me when this Interstate battery was manufactured? I picked it up today 3/2 at Costco. Evidently this model Group 90 T5 is somewhat unusual since they had to special order it. It took about a month to get in and as you see on top, there is a sticker that says 3/24. I find it hard...

    Your Biggest Retirement Regret?

    When IS it time to retire? I'm thinking that it's different for everyone and I hope I clearly know when it's the right time for me. I'm 67 and still working at the job I've had for the past 15+ years and I'm enjoying it. My kids are grown up and out of the house so I have more money "coming in"...

    Pet lovers, how does your pet get their water?

    We actually have a few cats (won’t disclose number) and have that exact fountain. Some use it and some only will drink out of the bowl. The theory with the fountain is that cats/animals like running water but I don’t believe that that is true for all.

    Pulled over - odd reason!

    They’re human. I definitely think boredom plays into a lot of it. An argument with the wife, etc. Life’s daily events dictate a lot of our actions…..I believe.

    Pulled over - odd reason!

    Cops get bored on the job and when you’re a young cop esp in the middle of Possum Flats, USA, he probably was bored out of his mind and you gave him something to do.

    Using your chainsaw when bored in the early AM

    I’m guessing that it wasn’t battery powered?
