Don't ever change your oil?!

Not to mention taking the blade off and sharpen it.. Just takes a few passes with a file.

 

When I’m done mowing in the Fall I go completely through my lawnmower. It gets cleaned, serviced and any bad parts are replaced. I remove the battery and keep that in a warm place all winter. In the spring I install the battery and I’m ready to mow. If I wait until spring to service it I don’t do a great job.

 

Was that a turbo 4, or a 6? They also made twin turbo 6s, but you didn't say S4.

Got my buddy's dad's rototiller to get my garden tilled. Briggs on it. Guess what? Low on oil. I filled it up with 30w, and gas and, it started right up and was actually quiet.

 

And it's so easy! For a walk behind mower, changing the oil once a year, cleaning damp grass off the deck, and draining the gas in the fall are all it takes. The annual maintenance on my mower takes 5 minutes.

 

Many moons ago I bought a rider and it just didn't handle what I thought it should. After a couple years of frustration I looked up what blades could work on it and went to get some. The store was persistent that these are the blades it came with so take these. I finally said I didn't care what factory was and this number is what I want because they aren't the factory mulching blade and I want this mower to puke grass like a cow with a stomach flu. They finally relented and gave me the blades I wanted and that turned the mower into double what it was. It finally cut good, would go through taller grass and not skip, and actually blew grass out of the discharge.

 

That’s a great story! Imagine if you had gotten rid of that mower because of that?

 

turbo 4. I learned later that there was a big class action lawsuit and all that. The rest of the vehicle started to glitch out and I was approaching end of the warranty so I traded it.


A coworker bought a cpo s4 that’s been flawless. His oil usage is what you’d expect from a correctly working engine. Roll of the dice I guess.

 

My allroad was a great car. I purposely looked far and wide for a v8 instead of the 2.7 twin turbo v6 for a few reasons. Somehow I found one in my state. Oil usage wasn't one of my concerns as both of those engines were good for that.
