I was out back and saw these three we were just talking about. Even though the Blitz can says 2 gallons, I've put 2.5 in it several times.

But not overkill.
The oil filter previous was overkill in terms of tightness.

If someone is not aware, surely those cap wrenches can easily over torque an oil filter.
Very likely bad news down the road if repeated.

Hey, what do you think is a good engine oil in terms of quality for money?
I'm learning toward super tech Fully Synthetic..
Made by Warren Oil Company.

Not sure if it's group IV base oil though.

Royal Purple, Amsoil, Redline are the group IV & V base oil 100% Synthetics.

Thumped it a couple times, then repaired Windows. It can't seem to find the rest of my network at the moment, but I'm sure it's something simple that got tanked with the repair.

Oh, and the new wheel is in the '95.

BEFORE

AFTER


The wheel looks great, the black steering wheel trim just blends right in like it was supposed to be this way, and the feel.... Wow, what a difference!

Duncan is a pretty good shop dog if I keep him occupied.

Nothing wrong with Supertech. Amazon Basics is good oil, and so is Kirkland. Both of them are also made by WPP.

Great job, Ohio. Did it do an auto repair, or did you have to load some media to fix the issue?

One REALLY common issue I've noticed lately with Windows 10 is that DNS needs flushed more than any other OS. Must be something wonky in one of the latest updates. Doing a DNS flush might clear up your network issues.... possibly a release and renew of the IP addy too.

BTW... what the hell did that bone come from?


EDIT: That pic of Duncan reminded me of this scene from my favorite movie of all time.... the movie I am also in FB jail right now for quoting it. Second time this has happened.
