I got to get up early to go shopping :seeya: Took my brother to work then went to sears. It was a zoo. Only thing I picked up was a set of metric and std gearwrench ratcheting wrenches. They were 50% off ($24.99 a set). Earlier this week I picked up a 27 inch sony tv and a sony dvd player so I could beat the rush.

 

What did you all get?

I usuall just say NO to shopping today. However, this morning I ordered a couple books for my wife online to pick up at our local Borders. I may try to sneak in early this evening.

It started off harmless with a trip to Toys R Us. got there at 5:15 got the game boy advanced for my kid. i then went to Sears got a Cordless Drill/Driver 29.99 Reg. $79.00. I then made the mistake and went to HHgregg. They had a Mitsubishi 65 inch for $1799.00. I was more or less curious i had 45 minutes to kill be fore make my trek in to Summit. Well talking to the guy he stated that they were out of stock already but would upgrade to the next better Tv. Needless to say Im now a proud owner of a 65 inch big screen, being deliverd on Tuesday. The kicker is now i need to break it to my wife and get rid of the Mits 48 inch.

My mom braved the line at one of our local Best Buy locations. She was getting an item for my father and we had discussed something for me. She picked up a Western Digital 160 GB 8 MB cache internal HD for me. I'm paying for it, but it was $30 plus tax after rebates. Can't beat THAT price...

I went out to Borders in Brighton last night about 6:30 - 7:00 and the line was pretty short. The parking lots at Target, restaurants, and the movie theatre were packed, though. I drove around a bit and saw that the Howell Wal-Mart and Meijer parking lots looked fairly normal, but there was a Christmas parade at the same time downtown.

      Oil Consumption

      By KARNUT · Posted

      No I didn’t watch a video of a person who analyzes oil for a living explain general oil usage. For clarity I did ask my brothers one who runs our equipment business. The other who runs our old ROW business about oil usage. Nothing has changed since I retired. Their personal vehicles or work vehicles use no oil. Not enough to see on the oil checking device. Then I pondered. I like to ponder. In this extended oil changing world with oil change countdowns or lights. If engines used say a qt every 2500 miles or up to even 4000 miles. With oil changes reaching as high as 15000 miles. Normal for most people is eight to ten. Vehicles should potentially be seizing up all over the place. Especially in hilly terrain. Just how many people actually check their oil? Maybe 10 percent. Those are the people that probably change their oil early. I like to research used car listings. I have five favorite dealers I check. They all list carfax with their listing. It’s rare to see vehicles with anything but extended oil changes. Transmission service, forget about it. I’ve seen Honda and Toyota certified vehicles up to 100K miles and ten years old. With nothing but normal maintenance. Isn’t nice we all have different experiences and believe our way is the best. You certainly get backup for whatever you believe. Life would be boring otherwise.

      RUMOR / INSIDER: 2027 Silverado Dealer Reveal NEXT WEEK

      By RobbertClaus · Posted

      Interesting rumor. Dealers near me have been tight-lipped so far, but if this reveal actually happens next week, I'm really hoping they finally give the HD a proper interior overhaul. The competition has been eating their lunch in the cabin department for a while now.

      Oil Consumption

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      There are a few good takeaways in that video that pertain to this thread, certainly the possibility of the oil control rings having buildup, the fuel injectors and how clean or not that they are ending up affecting the pistons rings carbon buildup, and the fact that its normal up to a point for a given engine to use some oil, and that the oil quality that is being utilized is part of that ring clogging up issue as well.   I was talking with a neighbor yesterday who has a baby LZ0 duramax and he had bought it slightly used but it does consume some oil and he has switched over to 5W-30 Euro spec oil and in this case that never made a difference in consumption over the factory 0W-20 recommendation. He finds it uses a quart in about 3500 miles and as he goes a ways over that distance he adds oil to full and goes another 1000 miles or so and then changes oil and is typically at 40% or so left on the oil monitor at that point with his use case of quite a lot of highway miles and more limited in short run use. I don't know what other LZ0 engines are doing for oil consumption but that is what his is doing.

      Ok well I guess Lake disagrees with me on a few points. I call oil consumption pretty basic. Rudimentary. He calls it "really complicated." I think 1qt consumed in 3k miles is a lot. He says that's normal. In 22 minutes, he'll use his natural talent to explain oil consumption to anyone watching this video. He covers everything from obvious engine damage to how normally functioning healthy engines consume oil by design. Lake explicitly states how you drive will impact oil consumption.   Shut up and watch:
