As another Lame Cherry exclusive in matter anti matter.
Without going into details, we obtained a JYG ATV, a Polaris 325 Magnum, which the tard brothers had sunk into a lake. It took a gifted kid some time to get this thing running after those tards had tried to fix it, but it did come back to life.
Today, after looking around for awhile researching a way past 75 dollar a gallon Polaris oil for this machine, I found the beaten dead horse debate that the answer was Shell (Dutch Royal Shell of the monarchs of Europe) had a synthetic diesel oil in Rotella that was 5W 40 which allot of people were using with great success.
I think around the Brier this was 30 bucks a gallon........so I looked around online and found some for 19 bucks. I do not want to know what Ebay sellers steal, employee discount, pick off palates that were "damaged" and remarket stuff from the trash dumpsters, as I'm poor, and I need something to baby this Mermaid.
So today we started to change oil. Again not easy as the maintenance manual does not show jack or shit, and then there was the adventure of the oil filter. We found the drain plug, the oil had some water in it, found the oil fill which is the dipstick, and I knew where the filter was......by the HOT EXHAUST PIPE.
Having had to purchase a mini oil filter wrench for a Ford Triton whose oil filter was to hell and gone hidden on Triton, I had one, but like the Ford, Polaris is cute in it is hell to get the wrench on and NO ROOM to move it. After cussing for a bit in the heat, losing the oil plug and having to magnet find that, I had enough of this shit and went and got a channel lock adjustable pliers. Now I have changed oil since I was a kid on the ranchstead and in class at school. I have read of horror stories of not being able to get an oil filter loose, so this was my first channel lock experience and yes this was a horror show.
Ok there are 3 tards. Tard that looks like he is a serial killer. Tard that looks like he has sex with dolls and Tard the looks like Quasimodo the Giant. I reckon it was meat hooks Quasimodo who put this filter on as it was tight.
In most cases, all you need to do is just make sure the surface is clean, put some oil on the rubber seal, seat it to contact and then do a half turn. Yes I did more than that, but Quasi must have kept turning until it was metal sealing on metal.
I put the locks on it.........did not budge. I tried the oil wrench again............nothing. So I thought, "Ok what the hell, this is an adventure and I hope to God it is not going real horror story sequel in the guys who drive a punch through the filter to turn the damn thing off as the channel locks have crushed it."
I tried to be careful, but thin metal and a big ass channel locks and a frustrated girl is going to lose out. I kept at it, punctured a hole in it, I tried to ignore, and thought I saw it budge a fraction of an inch. Tried again with more crushing and hole, and the thing started turning. I think I had to use the channel lock a turn and a half to get it to where I could use my fingers and then burn myself with hot oil, as Polaris instructs to get the engine war before changing oil.
Another wonder, the oil filter book actually had the right number in the filter fit!
I think the last time the oil was changed was when Edison invented the light bulb. Meat hooks probably just used 2 fingers in tightening that filter, as those boys have an endless array of disassembled things they dump off at JYG's........like I found a watch I now have that they broke the strap on and use bread wrapper ties to hold it on their tard wrist.
Anyway, we started up Mermaid and TL said, "That sounds allot better and is running allot better". It was and that surprised me. So Shell Nutella which is easier for me to say and I like that, was something this ATV liked after being drown and molested by 3 tards. I just hope that I do not have to change oil this season again as who knows what black shit has been floating around in there from Edison's time and what this thing soaked up when it drown.
I get nothing from those royal assholes in Denmark, bragging on this syn oil. It is just things are hard to fricking deal with in finding what will work in these expensive designer oils. The Triton does like Mobil 1, which is what my old man used in vehicles. Oil though for our tractors was all just 30 weight non detergent.......kid I want to school with that is all his old man ever used in vehicles. The guy in the farm store said "Oil is oil", and could not give a shit about any of it. Actually I have some Harvest King which is some farm spec oil probably from Exxon or Shell, and it works good. I think though I would switch to Rotella for allot of things as this ATV does like it allot. Might have to see how it works in Farmall number tractors. Is my life now though in I never get to buy fun things, the fun things I get are oil, filters, and other maintenance stuff that I try and convince myself it is fun things like a fishing reel........but then God has provided quite a few of those out of the junk pile I need to tear down and get working to do something fun.........no fishing is not fun, it is a cost effective project in food, as poverty has to make even that pay.
If Queen Rabatina and her inbreed royals of the lowlands want to donate, because I'm using their oil, you can find the donate button.
