OVEN TEMPERATURES
. Found a recipe you want to try but, unfortunately, it only gives oven
temperatures in degrees Fahrenheit and you cook by gas - what is the gas
mark equivalent?
. What is meant by "cook in a moderate oven"?
. My new cooker has Celsius markings, how do I convert my old recipes
Can one change oil less often with synthetic oil as opposed to
regular oil? If so, how long is the interval between changes?

John,
Virtually all of the manufacturers have switched over to a full synthetic
or a synthetic blend.
They all tell you can go from five to ten thousand on an oil change. One
company "Ams Oil" even says you just change the filter and add one quart of
their oil every three thousand miles.

My opinion is that 75% of the population change their oil to much. 3 months
or 3000 miles is normally for the severe duty vehicles. Look in your
owner's manual for this definition for your manufacturer. Most double that
for normal driving conditions. That being said, the only true way to know

hi this oil is very advanced and therefore doesnt need changing as regular as

how small they are and considering we change our oil less often

Hi, I just went to the blind handy man web page and went threw all 400 and
some thing like that. But I could not find the article about storing a car for

for long time storage. Like how to keep out bugs and mice and t
I don't recall posting such an article as of yet. In my own defense there are

Someone was looking on the Blind Handyman Files page for vehicle storage,

The oil change thread made me think of this. The air tools I just got came
with a little bottle of some kind of oil. The instructions say to put three
drops in the air inlet connector before use. What they don't say is how
often after the first use to put in the oil. Does anyone know? Any
I oil mine every time I use them. One warning before you get your tools
near anything nice rap a rag around the body of the tool and trigger it a
few times to blow out any excess oil.
Once you run out of that little bottle PB Blaster makes a really good air
tool oil that is in a spray can.

I was thinking about an in-line oiler but haven't bought one yet. Does
anybody know how big they are? I'd want to attach it at the tool so I can
still use my air gun without blowing oil.

Hi Max,
As far as I can tell, oiling air tools is something of a mystical and imprecise
science. Because air is flowing while in use it is drying and blowing oil
through. Things like nailers and staplers which fire at intervals and only
briefly don't usually need much oil and in fact you don't
Here is a tip from a professional pipe fitter. When you put quick disconnect

at least 2 or 3 threads from the end. If any closer some paste or tape can be

The method I use is with a clean Phillips screw driver lower it into a
bottle of proper compressor oil and with the fitting pointing upwards
quickly bring the screw driver out of the oil bottle and over the air
fitting intake of your air tool.
What drops off is more than enough.

Thanks to all who answered my question. All I have at present are nail and
