I do all my own maintenance, and try to do all my own repairs. But I am finding myself walking away from equipment purchases because it has an engine.
3 Cars / truck
1 Diesel tractor
1 lawn mower
1 Riding lawn mower
1 Rototiller
3 chainsaws
2 no... 3 weed wackers
1 leaf blower
1 Quad
1 motorcycle
1 Generator
1 Pressure washer (I forgot this)
Just seems like too much sometimes. I am really questioning how often I change my oils. I do live in a humid / wet state for the most part, but everything gets used at least once every 6 months. I have been pretty religious about once a year oil change no matter the odometer or hours. But my mechanic friend (he manages all the machinery for a wildlife refuge) says I am in overkill, especially as I use a lot of synth.
I guess I am posting this to see what you guys do. This is not a judgement post, just an inquiry.
ps. I wrote the list then remembered 3 more engines.
