    Get a FREE Oil Analysis Kit on Pennzoil!

    Mine was rejected also. I usually buy my oil that is on sale, not brand specific, and thought this oil sample kit was a good idea from Pennzoil. I felt if it showed good results, I would continue to buy their oil, knowing it works well with my engine, but if they are going to scam us, I wont be...

    How long will you run an oil based on time, low miles on oil?

    A few years ago she would be walking, but a huge data center is being built not far from town, and the influx of workers that are here now make it a scary place to be walking. I did walk when I was working, and was approached by some rough looking guys looking for drugs.

    How long will you run an oil based on time, low miles on oil?

    I have an extreme short trip example that I think 1 year is too long. We live in a small rural town. My daughter got her first job a few months ago, and works 1 hour before school, and a few hours after school. So she drives .7 miles to work, 1 hour later drives .5 miles to school, 7 hours...

    Even if the math favors contributing to an IRA over a Roth, or not converting an IRA to a Roth, the value of looking at a Roth account and thinking "this is all mine" is priceless. I have an IRA that feels like a thorn stuck in my side, that will be removed soon, regardless of the math.

    Yes it is crazy. They have 2 of my Muni bond funds loaned out for a little over 8% each.

    Goodyear WR2 observation from latest winter weather

    I have heard that the state is planning on changing the fixed speed limit signs to digital ones so they can lower the speed limit when roads are not in ideal driving conditions. It's sad that it's come to that. I made the comment "If someone wants to drive fast on ice, might want to look for a...

    Goodyear WR2 observation from latest winter weather

    Around my area, people like to drive, and a lot of them like to drive fast and don't want the inconvenience of needing to slow down for ice.

    Goodyear WR2 observation from latest winter weather

    Not an easy choice picking tires theses days. Should do well with any of the name brand all weather offerings.

    Goodyear WR2 observation from latest winter weather

    These are on my wife's 2023 CR-V, installed about 2 months 1500 mile ago. Might be considered a useless review since they are close to new, but thought I would share how they perform at this stage. 2 separate events within a couple days, First one was 8-10" of heavy snow, low 30's while it...

    Interesting crack in semi trailer tire sidewall

    Thanks for the replies, I agree with everything said. I don't need the job, and won't be driving it, I did one day last week, and while a very nice and easy run to make, it's not worth the risk. I mostly shared the photo to show what someone feels comfortable with, and amazed that it survived...

    Interesting crack in semi trailer tire sidewall

    I agree. The only good thing is it's on the passenger side, and a very rural light traffic area, might scare some cows in the pasture though.

    I couldn't find one, guessing it's on the inside.

    Interesting crack in semi trailer tire sidewall

    I don't know him well enough to say if he doesn't care, or if he truly thinks it is fine like that. He seems nice, and has 3 long term employees. I was approached when at Napa, if I could help a couple days a week while his driver was going to be gone. We are supposed to have a winter storm...

    Interesting crack in semi trailer tire sidewall

    I agree, I might refuse to drive it if it isn't replaced when I am supposed to work again in 2 weeks. Amazing that it has looked like that for the last 5 months.

    Interesting crack in semi trailer tire sidewall

    They do, but typically on the interstate or busy 4 lane highway. In the rural area's, might see a county sheriff running around once in a while.

    Interesting crack in semi trailer tire sidewall

    Probably right. They should rotate it to the inside so it is protected from the sun.

    Interesting crack in semi trailer tire sidewall

    This is not my vehicle, I am helping part time when the regular driver needs to take off 2 days per week for about a month. I showed it to the owner, and he said they have been watching it all summer, and if it gets bigger, might have to change it. This is on a side dump, the pit is 110 miles...

    Eating less Beef now?

    We buy directly from one of the ranchers in the area, usually a quarter cow. They haul cow to butcher, and when processed, we pick up from butcher. When freezer is running low, we contact rancher and order another quarter. We typically go through more ground beef, so end up buying a pound or...

    Honda oil filter defect

    I also was surprised at how clean the filter element looked, barely discolored at all. The oil was darker, but not black. Must be burning clean for a DI engine, inside tailpipe looks clean, and no gas smell in oil, or rising level, almost down to add mark before the change. Hopefully it was...
