I was riding my 750 Guzzi today and it started to make a squeaking noise. I rode it home and checked oil levels. There was no oil in the transmission! I had changed the fluids a few months ago and must have forgotten to fill the transmission. I had drained out the Red Line Shockproof heavy that...

There is a small leak in the rocker cover on my Sportster and the dealer said it's because I am using synthetic oil. I heard this from more than one Harley shop. They also said the engines are noisier with synthetics because they are so thin. What the heck started that tale? They are too thin...

A little girl asked her Mom, "Mom, may I take the dog for a walk around the block?" Mom replies, "No, because she is in heat." "What's that mean?" asked the child. "Go ask your father. I think he's in the garage." The little girl goes to the garage and says, "Dad, may I take Belle for a walk...

I ordered some new headlights for my old Benz from a place called Dash Z racing. The web site seemed for real but soon found out after having my card billed that it was a total fraud. I did a google search of the address and found out it was the local post office of the town they were supposed...

Since gasoline engines are the most efficient at wide open throttle, it would make sense to accelerate as fast as possible to save fuel. Other than tire wear, it would seem the most cost effective way to drive. Smashing into the traffic in front of you might use up some of the savings.

I have never been able to figure out just what a full flow filter is supposed to be removing from the oil. It can't be wear metals because they are too small. I left a filter in one of my diesel cars for almost 100,000 miles and when examining it with a microscope I found nothing in it. I think...

G. W. Bush and Bill Clinton somehow ended up at the same barbershop. As they sat there, each being worked on by a different barber, not a word was spoken. The barbers were both afraid to start a conversation, for fear it would turn to politics. As the barbers finished their shaves, the one...

I installed a pressure gauge on my Motorguard filter that is in my 1991 Benz diesel. I was expecting to see a fairly constant pressure reading. I have found that the pressure ranges from 50 PSI when the oil is cold to zero when the oil is hot. (can’t see that the needle has moved) I was thinking...

I made a poor batch of biodiesel by getting a little water in the mix. Just for the fun of it I filtered it with a Motorguard filter to see what it could do. The picture shows the original cloudy mixture on the left and the filtered fuel on the right.

I change the oil in our cars using a suction tank and , a device that I made from an old propane tank. When it’s full I use the air compressor to empty the propane tank into plastic pails that I take to shop that uses it for heating. Yesterday while applying 150 PSI air pressure to empty the...

Today I found myself going passed a school bus with the flashers going. I don't know what was distracting me enough for me to miss the lights and stop sign. Talk about a lousy feeling! I didn't see the sign until I was along side the bus, not time or space to stop. I guess when I see someone...

I just noticed that Tractor supply now has Mystic synthetic blend 15W50 for diesel engines. It seems to me this might make a great motorcycle oil. The price was close to $20 a gallon.

I put a Motor Guard filter on my 1991 diesel Benz. I was prepared to be disappointed but I must say, the oil is cleaner than it used to be. I don’t know how much this has to do with the fact that low sulfur fuel was introduced about time I added the filter. My test is the simple rub your fingers...
