Amsoil is better by light years and I will tell you why. I change my oil every 25,000 miles. I change one filter at 12,500 miles and add one quart at the time. My car has 187,000 miles, Lincoln Mark VIII and it only burns about 1 quart in the 12,500 mile time so it works. This means I put in 6 quarts and add one in 25,000 miles with two filters. I spend 3.50 each on fram filters and I spend $6.00 dollars a quart on my oil and use 7 quarts. So my 25,000 miles of driving cost me roughly $50.00 bucks. Now if I still changed my oil like I used to before I learned about motor oil I would have changed my oil 8 times in the same time period. I would have bought 8 filters and 48 quarts of oil at $2.00 a quart for the regular stuff. Now I would have spent $124.00 dollars on oil, had to be under the car 8 times instead of 2 and I also have to dispose of 12 gallons of motor oil instead of 2. Not only is running amsoil economically beneficial, it is also much more enviromentally friendly. By the way the motor looks brand new inside, runs like the day I brought it home and will only use one quart of oil in 12,000 plus miles. It can still run a hi 14 second quarter mile. The motor also cold starts better and gets a little more consistant gas mileage. Now if I went to the quick oil change and paid $25 bucks for each time you would be looking at $200 dollars in the same time. Oil has come light years and it has to do with molecular breakdown, not because it has been in the car 3000 miles. The synthetics do not break down nearly as fast and only need to be filtered. If all the people in the world would stop thinking like it is 1940 we could all save money and a heck of a lot of wasted oil.

New Hitches For Your Old Tractor - by Chris Pratt. For this article, we are going to make the irrational and unlikely assumption that you purchased an older tractor that is in tip top shape and needs no immediate repairs other than an oil change and a good bath. To the newcomer planning to restore the machine, this means you have everything you need for the moment (something to sit in the shop and just look at for awhile while you read the books). To the newcomer that wants to get out and use the machine for field work, you may have already hit a major roadblock. That is the dreaded "proprietary hitch". With the exception of the
