Good evening guys.

Tearing the washing machine apart because a couple people in the house have no idea how to load the thing and now it won't spin. I suspect the clutch is burned out. Hopefully......

You're supposed to load enough clothes in there to fill it twice aren't you???

CPS was bad. Got it changed and fired on 2nd try.

What is your guys opinion on high mileage oil? Katie bought a gallon a while back. Haven't used it.

That's what they think. I actually think they throw the clothes in there and jump an them to pack them in. Less loads means getting it done faster, right??
Even when you have to remove half of them just to get them to spin dry enough to put in the dryer, which will have to run for 2 cycles for each half of the overloaded washer..........

That's good news. Easy fixes are the best.

IMO, oil is oil.
High mileage or not. Sure, it may have a slightly different additive package, but to me it just says "Spend more on me to make yourself feel better"

Nope. That is on top of the low boost codes and incredible lack of power I had heading out west.

Yessir. The transmission is only 3/36 though.

Dave thinks I am looking at needing a new turbo. The EBP actual is through the roof.

If you have better than stock filtering system and maybe send samples out to be evaluated to know when it does break down
