Saving Money with Bulk Motor Oil

vegetable-oil5Whenever I buy groceries, I skip over the typical grocery stores and I go straight to Costco. For me, buying in bulk is the only way to go with pretty much anything. As long as you’ve got enough room to store the items that you’re purchasing and they aren’t quickly perishable, there’s almost no reason at all to not buy things in bulk.

Generally, buying in bulk means getting a lot more for a lot less; the cost is typically lower by volume if you’re buying something in bulk. This goes for more than just food-related items too. For instance, whenever I’m purchasing items for my car or boat, I go for bulk, such as bulk motor oil. This way, I never have to worry about getting more and I get it for a better price.

Ringfree Plus From The Advice Of A Mechanic

Outboard-Mechanic-210x300I think that there is a lot of information to be gained from listening to mechanics, especially if you do any of the maintenance on your vehicles yourself. I have definitely learned a lot about my own vehicles just from listening to some friendly advice from the neighborhood mechanic.  I’ve learned a lot about caring for my boat by following the advice of a qualified mechanic.

I’ve always used Ringfree Plus fuel additive to my engine because I had received some advice from a boat mechanic.  He said that it will help to fight the harmful effects of today’s ethanol and could potentially help my boat last much longer. So far, I’ve never had any problems with it, so I’m guessing that it has has been working.

Changing Oil in Honda Outboard Motors

Four-stroke outboard motors by Honda rank highly for reliability. In this post we’ll go over how to change the oil in a four-stroke Honda outboard motor. Start by taking the cowling off the motor; in some models there is a latch on the front and two on the back of the motor. Once the cowling is off look for the removal panel on the right side. Remove the panel to reveal the oil drain bolt.

At this point you’ll want to have a bucket and funnel handy to drain out the old oil. Replace the drain screw bolt and panel, then find and remove, and replace the oil filter. Add new synthetic oil outboard motor ready, typically about eight quarts. Put everything back in place and then check the new oil levels with the dipstick.
