Should we not go there out of deference to the people in that field?
I've heard this argument and find it unsupportable. In my opinion those people don't care about other people's jobs, so why are theirs' sacred?
When my line of work became obsolete I was told to suck it up and retrain. and I did.
Should I feel sorry for the service station guy or the oil executive? I don't think so.If the answer to the energy problem meant the end of oil?
It would mean that the abrupt climate change we're experiencing right now, may let up. I'm sure all the death and destruction in the midwest is more important than a job at the gas station!If the answer to the energy problem meant the end of oil?
Personally, I think the switch should be made gradually so that it won't be a shock to those workers. If there could be another viable energy source that did not pollute as much as oil, though, then I think that those people would be able to get jobs within that new industry too if it is well planned out.
I don't think this will happen, though, until an actual energy source is found that is as good as oil, because I don't believe that the world supply of oil will run out- it will probably only get more expensive.
Sorry but we will never run out of oil. It is part of photosynthesis with all plants,which recycles the oxygen. Part of the same cycle the plants keep the C and when the plants die and wash down the river to the delta. Where it will deteriorate into fossil fuel. In this case it is not fossil animal but fossil plants. Where do U think our present fuel supply came from,it is plants. All oil is the plants capturing the energy from the sun and making it into oil.
If you ask me the very industrial age era started because of race for superiority at war and the luxury that we experience is just its drizzle and even now no military department complaining of high fuel price is because we bear the grunt.
when you talk about energy how we human doing fine with natural energy long before fuel and still can sail and ride on horses and and rule from a distand land why cant we go to basic with a little ecception here and there
Well there's a situation that sucks.
Nothing worth not ending oil over. Surely you can get another job if all you did before was sell gas and beef jerky at the pumps.
I think electric cars would be ideal. Just imagine how cheap they are to run and maintain :)
I've had to retrain for jobs before also .. I did it, I don't see why people in oil couldn't as well.
If such an answer were to be found there would be no stopping it. The capitalists will provide it if there is a demand.

Why does america real problems like the fact that we're killing people overseas 4 oil,does always have to be
hide or diguise with things like migration, and stuff like that. that way they can distract our attention... sadly we bite it everytime.. or simply dont careWhy does america real problems like the fact that we're killing people overseas 4 oil,does always have to be
It's because white Americans are dumber than sheep. They'll buy into anything that's told to them. That's why they reelected that baboon into office. If they had half a brain, they would see that this war is going to get us in the end.....Why does america real problems like the fact that we're killing people overseas 4 oil,does always have to be
There both important issues, your grammer sucks and GO TROOPS.
Immigration has been a real problem for some time.
Issues like abortion, gay marriage, school prayer, and flag-burning are better examples of the kind of hot-button distractions used by politicians to avoid more pressing (and difficult) issues.
who is ';we're';...are you refering to yourself?
You're right ! Most people don't care and think that the greedy *** corporations, %26amp; politicians have total control. And they will, until we all wake up to the real reality show going on all around us. That show will be our demise, if we don't all get out and vote. Voting is a right %26amp; privlage, but it should be a requirement if you want to remain an American citizen. Pretty sad when more people vote for talent show TV BS, then for the person who's suppose to be running the country. Look what happened !!! We have an idiot leading sheep to slaughter, because we've been misinformed, and so easily side tracked on less important problems at election time. But all the voters can't be blamed. The non-voters have the wake up call, let's see if they wake up, or continue zoning on utube %26amp; video games, before we're all in the toilet.
You are doing exactly what you are complaining about....trying to ';distract attention'; from one of the single biggest issues facing America today...
A country as big as the U.S. has to be able to ';multitask';...we cannot bury our heads in the sand and ignore illegal immigration merely because we have lots of issues to deal with.
BTW, if you want to talk about those issues, there are forums or ';Answers'; sites for that...this is an IMMIGRATION forum.
We're fighting equally against the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan as we are about the immigration problem. Finally, people are not letting the government distract us from the real causes.
Everyone needs to keep writing, e-mailing, faxing and calling their representatives about every issue. Do not let up.
Unfortunately, CT, where I am embarrassed to say I live, is pro-Bush. I will not give up though. I keep up the correspondence every day. Some day they'll listen.
1) It isnt and has never been for oil
2) Its a war and people die in wars
3) Why dont simple Liberals understand?
I'm not an American and English is not my mother tongue. Somehow I think I speak and write better than you...mmmmm..
And here you are trying to down play the problems with illegal immigration, using the Iraq war as the bait.
Yeah we're not happy about the war, but you know what, illegals are a problem too, so is the cost of healthcare and higher education. We discuss all of them, search YA you'll find them in their proper sections, this one is IMMIGRATION... so we discuss that.

Oil furnace problem?
I never had a Oil Furnace that would not give me trouble..
New house same problems..
I hit the reset button and the furnace turns on... clicks alot smoke comes out of it.. a minute later it shuts off.
It was running last month when i moved in then it got warm again.. sticked the tank and there is oil.Oil furnace problem?
You said the furnace will run for a minute once it is reset then it quits again....What would need to be done is to check the nozzle and the electrodes to make sure they are clean and properly set...also the eye that is mounted on the transformer needs to be cleaned or changed ...the oil filter needs to be changed yearly...if you are not capable of doing these repairs call a service tech soon. Do not keep going to the furnace and repeately reseting the primary control..this could cause the furnace to build up excess oil in the firebox and cause an overfire situation ....Oil furnace problem?
It sounds like the oil filter or nozzle is dirty. The unit probably needs to have the routine maintenance performed on it. Oil furnaces just require more maintenance than other types. For a guide you can check the furnace page at my source. You may need to get a service call if you cannot do the maintenance yourself.
If its a new house get in touch with however installed it , must be under warrenty.
Rich's answer is correct, oil furnaces need to be serviced ever year, the nozzle and oil filter should be changed before the start of each heat season, and adjusted in with proper air intake, never try to make it 2 seasons without getting this done, some people can do this there self but most need a qualified experienced service technician to perform the routine service, usually it cost around 200 dollars for the complete service, good luck ,,,,oh yeah,, never hit that reset more than 2 times , if it does not start . it will load up on oil and could be very dangerous, and burn your house down,,, good luck.
Seems to me that your nozzle is clogged up, when oil is delivered I recommend that you shut of the heater prior to delivery and for about 30 mins after this prevents oil sludge from getting into the oil line a fouling the nozzle. As far a fixing the immediate problem you should call a service tech.

94 toyota pick up I4 FI Oil consumpsuion problem?
I recently had a valve job. i replaced the head valves springs camshaft timing chain cover timing chain componetes. well after a 1500 miles i noticed that the oil was low. so i kept chencking it and it will tak a quart evry four days. but no oil in the coolant or no blue smoke out the tail pipe my oil pressure reads fine but when i check it its barley on the bottom of the dipstick. where is the oil going? or is it burning but i have no smoke and the plugs arnt fouled i herd with new valves it increaces the compression and was wondering if the old pistons can hold the increace in compression due to the new valves?

When I check the engin oil.I smell very strong gas smell mixup with the oil.What the problem?
Sounds like you have gas in the oil :)
Usually that's from bad rings. The fuel will be able to get past rings and into the oil. Try using some chemicals like Sea Foam or similar at the auto parts store to clean the rings. It may help if they're just gummed up and sticking, but if they're clean and shot out then you need new rings...
Oh, also try some ';honey oil';, it's super thick oil they sell for problem cars and it helps seal the rings. There is also some stuff called ';Restore'; it helps seal too. I'd run the cleaner, then the Restore, then after 20 miles or so add the honey oil. Good luck!When I check the engin oil.I smell very strong gas smell mixup with the oil.What the problem?
gas shouldn't be mixing with engine oil, water yes (bad head gasket or head) but not gasoline. I would suggest changing the oil and checking the viscosity to see if there is any thinning due to dilution. Some car information and history would be nice also.

Will a AEM dry cone filter solve problems with JET aftermarket MAF sensor. oil based filters void warantee?
my truck 2000 chevy blazer ZR2 with cold air from K%26amp;N and performance muffler and chiped and removed CAT. looking at Jet performance MAF sensor but have looked deep into problems with oil air filters. hoping that a AEM dry cone filter will have better results. any informations regarding these chips and filters would be helpfullWill a AEM dry cone filter solve problems with JET aftermarket MAF sensor. oil based filters void warantee?
If you have removed the cat. you have totally screwed your emission system. The maf (mass air flow) sensor must get the proper air flow or the computer will not give the correct fuel mixture and the O2 sensors that work with the cat. and are missing will give no readings to computer so it will be a miracle if it even starts. Oil air filters will clog tha maf and it will give false readings. Performance mufflers are a joke, all they are doing is making more noise.

Goodyear changed my son oil and the plug fell out two days after the service.He lost all his oil and could of hurt his engine.What kind of lawyer do need if you have a problem with a auto service company?Oil change,tires this type of pl
If the damage is less than $5000, you can take the company to small claims court. You don't need a lawyer for that, in fact lawyers are not allowed. Lawyers usually wouldn't want to bother with a case that small anyway.
Goodyear might have a corporate customer service number that you can call to complain. Often the main company will make it right when the local operation refuses to.What kind of lawyer do need if you have a problem with a auto service company?Oil change,tires this type of pl
You can't claim anything on ';could'; or ';may have';. Find out if there is any damage--the only loss you have is a couple quarts of oil. Have you talked to ';Goodyear'; yet. Of course you didn't do anything like put the plug back in, oil back in, and drive it. at that point you didn't give ';Goodyear'; the time to get you a rental car and address the problem. They may have been liable for a set of bearing--but not a seized engine if the damaged is after the fact.
The #1 fraud tried against ';Oil changers'; is ';That the plug fell out';. Your cars computer would have recorded and ';low oil pressure problems'; if it is less than 15 years old. Most of these show a low oil pressure with no road speed---meaning the oil was drained out in order to get the engine replaced.
Also I'm sure you contacted them right when it happened?
If you did everything correctly--you won't need a lawyer. I've had this happen to a few customers and myself over the years. This was serviced under a repair contract--read the fine print. they have the right to correct the repair--if you go outside this. You will be liable for your own legal fees. If they can't correct this problem to your satisfaction-- ';then sent in the money, guns, and lawyers; the waste has hit the fan';
i would give the service center a chance to make right have then tow the car back to the service center and have them redo the work you don't need a lawer for this type of case if anything if damage as been done go to small claims Court
if damage has been caused you could go through the small claims court to reclaim off the company who did the original service the cost of the repairs. Its a contractual duty of care issue and they seem negligent.
start by contacting the better business bureau
you would be best advised to start by investigating small claims court.
lawyers are not the solution to everything. all they do is screw you and the other guy because it's just a paycheck to them.
in your case, unless you can prove that the plug falling out was the fault of the service station, you won't win in court. also, you would have to prove that there was engine damage caused by this. unless you have detailed records which show the condition of the engine before and after this event, it is your word against theirs.
so start with the BBB
Best advice is to ask a local attorney. Most will NOT charge for a first visit.

2005 celica oil problem?
I've this car for a year now, and never noticed the manual says to put 5w30. I've been putting 10w30 for the past 30000miles. Should I be worried? Manual says to only use 10w30 if 5w30 is not available, but switch back to 5w30 on the following oil change.2005 celica oil problem?
You shouldn't be that worried. I would just switch back to 5w 30 as soon as possible. Most manuals are just saying that as a precaution, since 5w 30 will give you the maximum performance. Manuals will also tell you to fill up with Premium but as with most cars you can fill them up with regular with no problem since the Knocking sensors will pretty much quiet down the pinging.2005 celica oil problem?
no do not start putting 5w30 in it all owners manuals say that because when something is new it only needs 5w30 but a heavier wieght oil is needed in cars with 30k miles or more .....it never would have hurt to put 20w30 in it ....although you might want to put 5w30 in it during the winter months and it will make your car easier to start because the oil will not be as thick in the cold weather....my advice to you is to always put 10w30 in your cars unless they demand higher.....
If there is no problems for the past 30,000 miles, then i wouldn't say there should be. If you can, raise the car and check the Fluids. (Manual Transmission Cars have a place to check the fluids, it looks sort of like the drain plug of your motor oil.) 5w and 10w is just the weight of the oil. Is the transmission slipping or grinding? If not then just leave it alone.
I would go with 5W -30, both oils provide the same protection when the engine is warmed up to operating temperature. The 5W oil flows better after a cold start, this is where most engine wear occurs.
5W30 i think you should use the one you are using

1991 s10 blazer oil problem?
i have a 91 s10 blazer, 4.3 v6 and when i put oil in it and start it, oil leaks out around the filter, i replaced the filter and it still does it, any ideas???1991 s10 blazer oil problem?
try replacing your oil filter housing gasket, this can leak and make it look like the filter is leaking. also the oil pressure switch is sometimes located above the filter these leak alot of oil when they go bad, check that out. I hope one of these suggestions help. good luck1991 s10 blazer oil problem?
make sure that the old rubber gasket isnt still on the housing if it isnt the start with the other answers
take the oil filter off and look at the flange that see ts with the base of the rubber on the new filter, there is a lot of crap that can build up on it , take a flat screw driver and scrap this off, then rub it with a rag, make it clean, also make sure you have got the right oil filter,wrinkle eye cream

leaking oil, possibly the block is cracked or a seal is leaking.What is the common problem when a 1999 porsche boxtser is running hot and the Oil light come on?
My suspicion is oil leak. The ';rear main seal'; to be specific. Its a VERY common problem on Boxsters and the entire 996 line. Main cause: these cars tend to sit for long periods of time without a proper drive.What is the common problem when a 1999 porsche boxtser is running hot and the Oil light come on?
check the oil level. light works off a pressure switch low oil pressure light comes on. less lubricant = more heat. if oil level is ok then oil filter may need to be changed as a plugged filter will restrict oil circulation. good luck
It means that the factory warranty has run out.

your problem is going to be your vacuum line going to your plenum. your going to need an oil separator for that.

I have a 1992 Toyota Hilux Surf 4x4 and the oil pressure doent regulate whats the problem?
I have a 1992 Toyota Hilux Surf 4x4 (which is the Japanese version of the US Toyota 4-Runner 4x4) it has only 45,000 miles on it and the oil pressure doesent regulate it changes with amount of acceleration whats the problem if there is one? I dont know much about Japanese vehicles but I know American made vehicles are not supposed to do that any suggestions???I have a 1992 Toyota Hilux Surf 4x4 and the oil pressure doent regulate whats the problem?
if its holding at least 15-20 pounds at idle that is normal,,when you said it didn't regulate,,I'm assuming your meaning it is going up or down at a regular pace,,on some car,s at idle,,the oil pressure will drop drastically bad,,and the the minute you break off idle,it goes back up to normal,,i do this for a living,,and have seen a lot of Toyota,s that do this,,some say it,s normal,,even a dealer told me a it was normal,,but after pulling the oil pan off and looking at the oil pump i found that it wan,t working like it should be,,i contacted the dealer and they said if they found it to be bad that it was covered by warranty,,but that wasn,t helping me at the time,so what we did was put a new pump ,on it,,also gave the new pump,,a little boost,,this can be done by slightly stretching the new regulator spring a little,,this helped me gain more pressure at idle and a good 45 pounds at normal driving,,hope this help,s,,,PS don't let the dealer fill you full of bull,,if they think you don't know anything about it,,they will charge you for it,,hope this help,s.I have a 1992 Toyota Hilux Surf 4x4 and the oil pressure doent regulate whats the problem?
Try to inspect under the hood! The V-belt might need some tightening!

Has anyone ever had problems cooking with a lighter olive oil?
I cooked oven chips a few days ago with olive oil and salt and they were delicious. I tried them again yesterday and this evening but i had to use 'light and mild' olive oil as id ran out and both times theyve been stuck to the tray and fallen apart. I wouldnt have thought that just a different type of oil would have made that much of a difference. Any ideas?Has anyone ever had problems cooking with a lighter olive oil?
The potato's should not be salted until after they are cooked and then salted while they are still hot. Salt will cause water in the potato to be extracted to the surface which may be why they turned out the way they did.
The oil you used before was probably Extra Virgin Olive Oil which is the oil produced during the first cold pressing of the olives.
Virgin Olive Oil is produced by the second cold pressing of the olives and doesn't have as much flavor as Extra Virgin.
Olive Oil and Light Olive Oil is produced by cooking the olives and has little flavor but does have a Higher smoke point than Extra and Virgin oils. This allows Olive and Light oils to be used for cooking.
Try baking the potato's with only the oil at 325潞 F. ( 163 C) until a fork or knife tip can be inserted but are slightly firm. Remove from the oven and allow them to cool while the oven temp is increased to 375潞 F. (190潞 C). Place back into the oven and bake until they are tender and golden brown.Has anyone ever had problems cooking with a lighter olive oil?
Olive Oil in general has a lower boiling point than other oils - and for anything that soaks oil up (like potatoes do) you are really better to use something like sunflower oil.
I believe that the fact of using a ';light'; olive oil where more fat has been removed would have the end effect of making the boiling point even lower and therefore not carrying out the sealing action that the oil is supposed to have.
No there shouldnt be that big of a difference.
I make potato chips in the microwave that are delish!! They call for olive oil- but I usually dont have that on hand so I use vegtable oil (and because its cheaper) and it works just as great. Try laying them out in a single layer- this is what I do- it also helps them get cruncier without getting soggy.
Good luck-hope this helps ya out!
it's not really good to cook with olive oil. when you heat it up it changes and isn't healthy. it also cannot be heated up to a very high temperature.
olive oil is GREAT to put on salad. for cooking i recommend conola.
Amazingly enough when you cook with olive oil it is best to get cheap stuff because the cheap stuff has a higher boilng point.
Only use quality olive oil for dressings and things.
I heard a top chef say it on TV the other day :-)
light oil always does that, it doesn't work properly and stuff sticks.
why are you cooking oven chips in oil anyway? just stick them straight on a baking tray?
thats light olive oils

Has any body had any Major problems with there 2006 canyon.my rear end is leaking oil bad.?
check with the dealer if they have a trend for ur model they will have a record of it and maybe a free fix. good luckHas any body had any Major problems with there 2006 canyon.my rear end is leaking oil bad.?
That should be covered under the warranty, i would take it into the dealerHas any body had any Major problems with there 2006 canyon.my rear end is leaking oil bad.?
I bet from factory, someone either over tightened, or left the cover too loose..... or nicked the seal letting it leak..... it should be covered under warranty...
yeah. just eat it. its good fiber

My car is overheating a lot and my oil looks like it's getting a little antifreeze in it. What's the problem?
My trusted mechanic told me that I most likley need a new head gasket, which will run upwards of $600. Is this a good idea? The car has been overheating, and I (or my mechanic) could not find a leak anywhere, but the oil is starting to look cloudy of antifreeze! The car has been working great other than overheating. I'll fill up the radiator, and a few days later it will start overheating again and the radiator will not be full! My mechanic told me not to drive it until they can fix it, in order to keep it from screwing anything else up. I appreciate any advice anyone can give me. Thank you for your help!My car is overheating a lot and my oil looks like it's getting a little antifreeze in it. What's the problem?
your mechanic is correct. if you continue to drive this vehicle, your engine will seize(freeze), and need to be replaced. shortly before that happens, you will notice a trail of white smoke coming from your exhaust. this is a sure indication that the leak has worsened and you are about to lose your engine.My car is overheating a lot and my oil looks like it's getting a little antifreeze in it. What's the problem?
without knowning with car you have,i would say your mechanic is right.if you keep on driving it,it will cost you lots more.600 bucks is cheap compared to 2500 bucks.
The first thing you need to do is stop driving it immediately! The water pump died on my car while on the freeway and before I knew it overheated and died. The result of this was a cracked head. You could pay someone to do the work or if your up for a challenge you could do it yourself. Just get the shop manual for your car and it will tell you step by step instructions on how to remove/install the cylinder head. Once you get the head off you'll need to take it to a machine shop to be tested. If it is cracked you'll need to get a replacement from the junkyard or buy a new one. If you get one from the j-yard you'll have to have it tested at the machine shop too.
head gasket, hopefully you didn't warp the head.
Most mechanics can do a test on your radiator to see if there is exhaust fumes getting into the cooling system. They use a liquid which changes color if there is carbonmonoxide present in the cooling system. They usually charge around $10.00 but it will tell you for absolute sure if it is the head gasket or maybe a cracked head. Yes it is not a good idea to drive it if antifreeze is getting into the oil at you might damage your engine bearings.
This is a very common problem in cars unfortunately.
Yup, deffo blown a gasket. Price seems about right, as is advice!
headgasket, cracked head , cracked block. but more than likely a cracked head. pay the money and get it done right.
Your mech. sounds right, though do stop driving it! antifreeze in the oil literally fries a engine... if you've gone for some time like this, might as well either get a new engine, or have this one rebuilt, it is hell on the bearings and eats em up in no time.
Most likely a blown headgasket.
You should have it repaired right away or you could lose your engine.
Yeah, sounds like a head gasket. Get some other estimates but that sounds close to the cost of repair. The gasket kit itself is cheap but the labor to replace it can vary. If you don't have the issue fixed soon you'll either overheat or hydrolock the engine.
Hm ya it could be a head gasket. 600 sounds to much for a head gasket. I bet he including the time in that. If it would cost 600 to fix i would not take it to him. Phone up some other mechanics in your area and ask them how much it would cost to replace a head gasket.
you have a blown head gasket. The $600 price will include machining the heads back down IF the heads are warped. If not you will save $250
sound a bit pricey, change to thermo in it first and chane all the hoses also.thats was all i needed.
Change head gasket asap or else you might have to change the head or even the rings if you ignore or wait and see !
Overheating shold be attended to asap. The sooner you remedy,the less you spend and your CONSTANT WORRY will disappear.
thats the head gasket, you can probably do it yourself, just get a manual, the gasket and the right tools. the gasket shouldnt be too much, and 600 seems about right. it usually takes around three to four hours on some cars, sometimes more or less depending on the car, and they will increase the price of the gasket by usually around three hundred percentwrinkle eye cream

I have tranny problems after I changed my tranny oil?
I have an 89 Nissan 240. I changed the tranny fluid on it last month. When I did it, I didnt have the filter kit with me so when the fluid was changed it was just the fluid that got the change. I use RTV and let it dry for about 2 hours then I bolted it up. I test drive and thats when I learn that first gear slips now. Month later sister in law is driving it and occassionly putting in Lucas Oils Tranny Fliud treatment. Says now that it revs at 4-5. I am assuming that thats not in the neighborhood BECAUSE it usually at 2-3.5 rpms in the freeway. And if she meant to tell me that its in residential that I know I wouldnt be here asking this question. Any ideas?I have tranny problems after I changed my tranny oil?
You used the wrong fluid not all fluid is nissan compatible.I have tranny problems after I changed my tranny oil?
I would take it to a tranny person to have it checked out you don't wana mess with things like that. Either way that lucas oil didn't help. It's better safe than sorry.

Can any one tell me if Olive Oil is good to use for a person having very high cholesterol problem?
I would also wants to know if we burn Olive Oil at a certain point does it consist of any cholesterol levelCan any one tell me if Olive Oil is good to use for a person having very high cholesterol problem?
Olive oil consumption has a very positive effect on blood cholesterol. Olive oil limits the oxidizing of bad cholesterol (cause of artillery skilorsus and heart disease) because it
is rich in anti-oxidizing agents.
Olive oil contains a series of compounds that are very beneficial to most functions of the human body and its' biological and therapeutic value is related in many aspects to its chemical structure.
The first aspect is its triglyceride composition, made up of fatty acids. Olive oil has a prevalence of monounsaturates, oleic acid principally, while animal fats are fundamentally made up of saturated fatty acids and seed oils of polyunsaturates.
Monounsaturated fatty acids are much more stable. Olive oil also has a low percentage of polyunsaturates and this is important because these kind of fatty acids cannot be synthesized by the body.
The second aspect is in its minor components. The most salient ones are the tocopherols and polyphenols. These components have a major antioxidant function and are closely connected with virgin olive oils because refining processes alter and remove them.
Olive oil, as with any fatty substance, deteriorates during the frying process especially if it is used over and over and if the frying temperature is very high. High temperature destroys the good ingredients of any oil while it creates harmful agents for the liver, the arteries and the heart.
It is important however to take into consideration that these harmful agents are less likely to be created in olive oil than in all other known vegetable oils and this is because olive oil has a different composition. It contains a high percentage of oleic acid, which is much more resistant to oxidization than the polyunsaturated acids, which are found in large amounts in seed oils. But more importantly olive oil contains natural anti-oxidizing agents such as phenols and vitamin E. When heated, olive oil is the most stable fat, which means it stands up well to high frying temperatures. Its high smoking point (210潞 C) is well above the ideal temperature for frying food (180潞 C).Can any one tell me if Olive Oil is good to use for a person having very high cholesterol problem?
cold pressed olive oil is good for you...
Use virgin olive oil, it has less cholesterol...don't know about setting it on fire though...
research has shown that olive oil can be used as a treatment for anythin, i mean anythin. i know someone that takes it everyday she doesn't age a day.
Isn't olive oil an omega 3?
I dunno. Never burned olive oil.
we generlly know that oil always have some level of cholsterol and on the contrary will mean that olive oil will not be a propper solution, except it is been treated propperly to serve the purpose since it is also medicinal.
Olive oil is an excellent source of omega-3 acids and it should be used as the main cooking oil of your diet. Omega-3 acids contains the ';good'; cholesterol HDL which in term helps to remove your ';bad'; cholesterol LDL. Anything that is heated to a high degree would create molecular change, often create carcinogens, olive oil should be just lightly heated (not fry) when cooking with food to retain the original molecular structure. You should consult other natural remedies on top of olive oil to stabilize cholesterol level, please refer to teh list of top natural food for lowering cholesterol http://www.cureshare.com/view_condition.鈥?/a>
Foods that contain a high proportion of saturated fat are butter, ghee, suet, tallow, lard, coconut oil, cottonseed oil.
#1 Olive oil is a mono unsaturated oil, though it has the property of all fats leading to accumulation. It is the best amongst oils and it is suggested for people with cardio-vascular disease.
#2 Any food be it carb, protein, when too much in amount leads to obesity by accumulation(adipose tissue), so FAT isn't the only culprit :)
#3 The Italians generously use olive oil, $ their food is all the more heavy- pastas, spaghetti, pizzas etc.. but they are hale %26amp; healty just b'coz of the virgin olive oil.
Olive oil is very good for you.. not to throw you off.. but the number one food to eat that literally is the next best thing to medication.. is Oatmeal.. eat it everyday.. and it will lower your cholesterol.. I eat it every day.. Monday through Friday.
Look into Coconut Oil, I read this long article on it and the dramatic effects it has on cholesterol problems. My local health store sells it like crazy!
I would think so, but if unsure then ask your dr. Don't know about the burning.
Yes it is, and also fish oil, or oily fish. That does not mean fish cooked in oil or grease.
All oils are bad for everyone, esp. ppl with hight cholesterol.
Olive oil is no exception.
If u heat oil, it become more hydrogenated and contains more and more saturated fat. THAT';S BAD!!

I have a boat with an envirude motor. When I checked the oil it had turned white. What could be the problem?
The last time we went out the boat acted like it wanted to cut off when we tried to go fast. We had to go very slow back to shore. We checked the oil and it was white. I was wondering why this could be.I have a boat with an envirude motor. When I checked the oil it had turned white. What could be the problem?
If the oil is white or milky looking you have water in your oil.I have a boat with an envirude motor. When I checked the oil it had turned white. What could be the problem?
If you're talking about the gearcase oil this is a common problem caused by water leaking past the seals. The gearcase needs to be re-sealed. This can cause a lack of lubrication in the gearcase + cause it to seize. It's possible for it to sporadically do this as water does provide some lubrication + will often keep the unit running at lower speeds.
If this is the case you'll need to have the gearcase torn down and inspected for damage as well as re-sealed
If you're talking about the oil in the oil injection system (If your model is so equipped) then you need to have the unit inspected by a qualified service tech + he can tell you the cause as well as what damage may have been done to the powerhead.
Either way I'm afraid You should take the unit in for service ASAP. Do not run it again ';as is';.
Hope this helps.
Water in the oil will make it white. You need to take it in for repair. Water in the oil is not a good sign.
it's water!!! Bad seals...get service right away...assuming it is a 2 stroke and you are talking gear oil. You can seize your gearbox.
well christian is half right ';file'; is all wrong, brad is correct, aside from all that i would bring you engine in get a 100 hr service, they will change your impeller, oil and pressure test your lower unit, also change the plugs, filters and lube everything up this fixes the majority of problems, you could do it yourself just get a pressure tester.good luck
Well what oil are you talking about. From my first hand experience, if it wont go full speed, replace ALL of your fuel lines and couplings, most importantly your couplings...........as for the oil, if you are talking about the lower unit oil then you have some seals bad, most likely the one behind the prop, remove the prop and you will probably find some fishing line. or the other problem could be your fill and drain plug gaskets.
what year/hp/model changes answers greatly 2 or 4 stroke?
Short and sweet, ';Head Gasket'; needs to be replaced. Or, you have a bad manifold. But, if you don't use the boat or start the engine regularly, it is common to have some moisture in the oil, not milky white. Do a pressure test and then fix the problem. Don't run the boat like this, you will blow the engine.

From my first hand experience, if it wont go full speed, replace ALL of your fuel lines and couplings, most importantly your couplings...........as for the oil, if you are talking about the lower unit oil then you have some seals bad, most likely the one behind the prop, remove the prop and you will probably find some fishing line. or the other problem could be your fill and drain plug gaskets.
what year/hp/model changes answers greatly 2 or 4 stroke?
Short and sweet, ';Head Gasket'; needs to be replaced. Or, you have a bad manifold. But, if you don't use the boat or start the engine regularly, it is common to have some moisture in the oil, not milky white. Do a pressure test and then fix the problem. Don't run the boat like this, you will blow the engine.

I'd like to know how prohibiting the United States from drilling its own oil promotes ';energy independence.';
Feinstein and the others still involved with Indonesian oil, I assume...
Is this an essay prompt for Econ110?
The obvious answer would be that too many people drilling will deplete the world's resources. However, the 'Scarcity Problem' in economics arises when a communal good that is ordinarily sustainable is overused. Fishing is a good example. Restrictions are set to ensure that there will always be enough fish.
My answer would be that if a government approaches oil in the same manner, it will only prolong new development of alternative fuels. If you artificially keep the price of oil low, it is a disincentive for companies like BP, Shell, Chevron, GM, and Ford to come up with new ways to make money in a multi-trillion dollar market.

Lawn mower leaks gas on top of motor. The oil filter is soaked with gas. How can I fix this problem.?
I have a craftsman walk behind lawn mower. There is gas on top of the engine and the oil filter is soaked with gas. I need some suggestions on how to fix this problem. ThanksLawn mower leaks gas on top of motor. The oil filter is soaked with gas. How can I fix this problem.?
try putting a cork or rubber gasket in the gas tank cap or if the tank is leaking it's self you can use redkote gas tank liner sealer.Lawn mower leaks gas on top of motor. The oil filter is soaked with gas. How can I fix this problem.?
Are you sure it's the ';oil'; filter thats gas saturated or the air filter?
If it is the air filter, sounds like the float for the needle valve is sticking allowing the carburator to overflow and spill gas into the air filter. The carb must be dissasembled, throughly cleaned and reassembled, and a new air filter installed. All the parts needed to work on Craftsman equipment can be found at Sears.com
By clicking on the parts tab, typing in your model # it will show the diagram and parts list for your machine.
the gasket must be out of it find a cork board from the hardware store or some other kind of gasket material

Is it a problem that my son put .5 quart of lawnmower oil into the gas tank?
What might happen to the mower? Is it a problem that my son put .5 quart of lawnmower oil into the gas tank?
If you haven't run it you need to drain the fuel from the tank and refill with the proper straight gas.
To drain; find the hose that's coming from the tank and disconnect. try to catch as much fuel as possible using a small bowl. Discard fuel properly or add it back into the gas can that's mixed.
If it's been run than you have introduced oil into the system which will result in smoking sputtering and possibly stalling.
1/2 a quart of oil is allot so the fuel lines and carburetor need to be cleaned as much as possible if run.
The tank needs to be drained regardless.
Residual oil in the system will smoke a bit but nothing to become alarmed over; it will stop smoking in a few minutes.
The spark plug will most likely need a cleaning or you can just buy a new one(5 bucks)
If your a DIY'r you can do all this yourself, if not get it to a small engine repair shop.
You may have oil pooled in the carburetor. Most carbs have a small screw/bolt on the bottom allowing you to drain them and/or pull the bowl cover(small round cup looking thing) off and drain it. Do that, and spray carb cleaner inside. Make sure you use fresh gas in the tank at least for this tankful.Is it a problem that my son put .5 quart of lawnmower oil into the gas tank?
You will have to drain that oil from the gas tank.Pull the spark plug and clean it.Drain any oil from the cylinder (while plug out).fill with good gas.prime and start(it may take a couple of trys.When it does start there will be a LOT!! of smoke coming out.(enough to tell neighbors you are fogging for mosquitoes so they don't call the fire dept).But it will clear up and be ok.
You'll spew alot of smoke and leave oil deposits in the carburetor.
I'd try to empty the tank, clean it out as much as you can, and fill with fresh gas before running the engine.wrinkle eye cream

all the pipes make noise until pressure is regulated manually.Pressure on oil furnace keeps getting too high so can somebody help me and tell whats the problem?
do you mean you replaced the pressure relief valve,,or the water pressure regulater [fill valve].....i think you meant the relief valve [30psi..? ].....also,did you replaced the expansion tank or just make sure the valve to it was open.....if you have the old style exp tank it needs to be drained..the old style is large,holds about 15-20 gallons,usually mounted at the ceiling above the boiler somewhere in the basement ..its not enough just to turn the shutoof valve off and the drain valve open...you have to introduce air into the tank to break the vacuum created by the water leaving,otherwise you get very little water out and think its empty..to introduce air,,you need to open or remove the bleed port/plug on the drain valve [ if it has one] while the drain valve is open...if no bleed port exists on the drain valve or elsewhere on the tank,,then look for a union in the inlet pipe between the shutoff and the tank,,open the union while drain valve is open....if no union exists then you have to leave the drain valve open with hose attached for a long while,usually the water will eventually gurgle out while air goes in in spurts.........if you have the newer type exp tank,,compact,capacity of around 2-4 gallons,,you should just replace it....the relief valve may have just been doing its job,,although old relief valves often dont reset , [ re-close], after opening.....after all is done,,pressure in system should be around 12-15 psi,,whether regulated by auto-fill valve or by you manually....hope your problem was related to this,,i didnt fully understand the question......i assume you have a hot water boiler..........danPressure on oil furnace keeps getting too high so can somebody help me and tell whats the problem?
Even a new furnace of this type has it's problems.
You will have to do it manually.
Actually you have to much water going into the system.
Do you have a glass tube on the furnace showing water.
This should show half full.
It sounds like either the air eliminator is not doing its job or the new expansion tank was not charged with air when it was installed.

Was my tappet problem caused by not changing the oil?
My car has a tappet problem.Was it caused by not changing the oil.Was my tappet problem caused by not changing the oil?
could have been yes if you didnt change it at all yes that and many other problems that you have not seen yet tappets are first to go bad or tick most case either old age 100,000 or more or not many oil changes should be like every 3000 miles to protect engine partsWas my tappet problem caused by not changing the oil?
It probably was caused by not changing the oil regularly, but other things could cause it also.
High mileage can cause the ';valve train'; to wear so much that the hydralic lifters cannot compensate enough.
Also, the metal in part of the camshaft may be too soft and cause premature failure. It is not unusual for only one ';tappet'; to fail which is an indication of a defect. If all are noisey, it was the oil!
Shouldnt be to expensive to replace, but worth doing sooner rather than later.
Plus it will drive you nuts when the music is off...
As for the cause, it could of been caused by lack of oil, incorrect viscosity (oil rating), or to much presure (to much oil in the system).
There are other reasons, like high mileage, general wear...
Hope i helped
this depends, if you have hydraulic tappets it could be as this could cause excessive wear in the tappet and lose pressure, this is because they designed to work at a certain oil pressure, if it's a standard solid tappet it could cause a problem if the oil had not been changed for 40k + but is still unusual.
well, yes , we need to change to oil often, 3 to 5,000 miles but, ur problem could have been caused by a number of other things . could b a bad cam lobe, a failed lifter or something stupid like a bad lock nut on the adjuster(if it has adjusters) that might have happened even if the oil were changed regular so, lets not look for a ';blame'; let's look for a reason and turn the blame into a lesson
good luck
If the tappets are hydraulic then yes. They rely on oil at the correct viscosity to operate them. In time oil will 'wear out' or become thin.
Yes, absolutely.

than it goes back on this happens two three times in a full cycle i do not have to hit the reset button at all,the flame goes out for a few seconds and lights back up.... changed the filters, nozzle, electrodes checked all fitting ty for your time james
Hi, i checked all of the controls and had them tested all are working fine do you have any other suggestions?Hi, my oil boiler it lights with no problem and than about quarter of the way the flame goes out?
Does the burner motor go off when the flame goes out? You might be drawing air in through a crack in the fuel line or maybe have a flare fitting or compression fitting that isn't sealing properly. Where are the tank and filter located? If they're outside and it's cold enough, the fuel could be partially gelling up in the filter housing and thus giving an intermittent supply of liquid fuel. How old is the pump itself? A pressure gauge in the test port on the pump should show a rock steady 100p.s.i. with the burner running. That's for starters. Could be more.

if the flame dies out then back on the oil flow is coming in too slow. a pinched,plugged or air leaking oil line.there is a filter screen inside most oil pumps under end cap.a small air leak in fitting can make same problem. some times the pump cannot make 100 lbs of pressure to open internal pressure relief valve. by pass original supply line by putting a line ie the tank fill and see if you have same problemHi, my oil boiler it lights with no problem and than about quarter of the way the flame goes out?

My oil pressure warning light on my Honda Accord 96 goes on when the engine is idle, what is the problem?
I have an accord 96 that has 100,000kms on it. had an oil change recently.
A few days after this oil change, I had an overheat and after this overheat, the oil pressure warning light started acting eratically.
First, after a cold start, the light does not turn on but after the engine warms up, the light flashes. The problem is, while revving the engine, the light goes off and immediately goes on again when the engine is idle.
To address my original problem, mechanics informed me that they would change the oil sending unit, change thermostat valve and thermostat switch.
After this, the problem was still the same (light goes off with revving). They recommended a general overhaul for the reason that the engine had so much sludge and they blamed the problem on the engine flush that was included during the change oil.
Now, i really dont know what to do next. General overhaul is too expensive for my budget.. Any tips?
Thanks very much!My oil pressure warning light on my Honda Accord 96 goes on when the engine is idle, what is the problem?
the first and obvious question is--have you checked the oil level recently? I've seen drain bolts leak on Hondas if you don't change the washer for the plug and you could legitimately have a low oil condition. so thats the first thing to do.
then, if the oil is full, have your technician put an oil pressure gauge on the car to run a pressure test. That will tell you if the problem is a mechanical one (oil pump) or an electrical one (sending unit/gauge). Your description sounds like a mechanical problem with the oil pump. If the car does have low oil pressure, then the next thing to do is to have the oil pan removed to check the oil pick up for the oil pump. If it is clogged they can clean it. If not, then you'll have to change the pump.
accords are not known to generate a lot of sludge unless the oil is never changed. the engine flushes rarely provide any value.
hope that helpsMy oil pressure warning light on my Honda Accord 96 goes on when the engine is idle, what is the problem?
Honda's are not known for sludge unless you don't change the oil at all.
Does the car have oil in it?
Could be the pump going bad...or the sending unit may not be reading correctly...or as simple as it wasn't wired correctly.
We had one that was triggered by the e-brake and just had to rewire it.
Sounds like the oil pump though and if it is and its not fixed its a good way to blow up a motor when it eventually freezes up.
Your oil pump is going bad. what is happening it is not pumping enough oil at idle and triggering your light. an easy way to check is get an oil pressure gauge, hook it up at make sure, this can have disasterous effects on your engine if not taken care of IMMEDIETLY.

How does scarcity problem affect the price affect the price of oil?
how does scarcity problem affect the price of oil?How does scarcity problem affect the price affect the price of oil?
As economies in the former third world industrialize, they demand larger quantities of raw materials, like oil, for production. This new demand puts a strain on supply, which leads to higher prices as most oil exporting nations are already producing near capacity. Moreover, oil requires refining to have any productive use, and refineries can take years to build. Ultimately, conditions of scarcity cap the potential growth of the global economy until we learn how to run industry on some alternative energy source.

Is the answer to our oil problem a fuel-cell hydrogen powered car costing less than half current prices?
http://witcombe.sbc.edu/water/chemistrye鈥?/a>
The kind of fuel cell routinely used in the space program. If this technology ever becomes viably available to the common person, the estimated cost of a fuel-cell hydrogen powered car would be less than half that of your current gas-mobile. In addition, it would be simpler, require less maintenance, and be environmentally friendly!
The world needs a new energy source.Is the answer to our oil problem a fuel-cell hydrogen powered car costing less than half current prices?
Here's the problem with fuel cells - there is a better solution.
*
There is no source of available hydrogen on earth. All existing hydrogen is already chemically combined into other substances (like water.)
*
Separating hydrogen from water (done using electricity) expends more energy than the hydrogen will ever give back. And research will not change this - because there is a basic law of physics involved - the law of conservation of energy.

Fuel cell cars are already electric cars. So, from an efficiency standpoint, it makes more sense to take that electricity you are going to use to extract hydrogen, and instead use it directly, in a battery powered electric car. This saves the steps of extracting the hydrogen and transporting it by truck to your filling station. Sending electricity by wire to your electric car wastes much less energy (the electric grid is 95% efficient.)
*
The only advantage to using hydrogen instead of battery power, is faster refueling. But this battery drawback is only a year or two away from being solved, while affordable fuel cell cars are still decades away.Is the answer to our oil problem a fuel-cell hydrogen powered car costing less than half current prices?
What oil problem?
Where does the Hydrogen come from?
Half the current price would still be so expensive that only the very richest could afford it. And if you had the car there are no places to fuel it up. Hydrogen cells may be the future but it is the distant future
It's certainly one good option for the future. GM is releasing a limited number of new fuel cell vehicles on the Equinox platform. Honda has a little one as well.
It still takes energy to turn water into hydrogen... but, presumably that energy can be generated by renewable sources (wind, solar, hydro) instead of oil.
We may just need to cause oil to get more expensive so that these alternative sources become the most cost effective solutions and let capitalism take over. My idea is to start a graduated tax on gas/oil. Refill our nations coffers with the tax revenue, while encouraging use of alternative fuels. Do this slowy and predictably, so there isn't a catastrophic economic effect.
Currently you're talking about $200,000.00 a car and no infrastructure to support it .
Expect it but not overnite .
Because of the economics involved alternate sources are not going to work until oil prices are three or four times what they are today.
That of course does not even begin to consider the cost to make transportation that can use these new sources of energy. Again economics make them unreasonable. You can buy a new car say for $12,000 and one you are using as an example will be more along the lines of $250,000. How many people can afford the car? NONE.
So the solution is to keep on working on technologies, reduce the use of oil for heating through the use of atomic energy and electricity, OPEN up all areas of the US to exploration and hope that not everyone in China gets a SUV.
The choices currently are none and none, so why do we keep going on and on about it.
Have you read the energy plan the administration put before Congress? It makes a lot of sense but they would not open up new areas for exploration.
The kind of fuel cell routinely used in the space program. If this technology ever becomes viably available to the common person, the estimated cost of a fuel-cell hydrogen powered car would be less than half that of your current gas-mobile. In addition, it would be simpler, require less maintenance, and be environmentally friendly!
The world needs a new energy source.Is the answer to our oil problem a fuel-cell hydrogen powered car costing less than half current prices?
Here's the problem with fuel cells - there is a better solution.
*
There is no source of available hydrogen on earth. All existing hydrogen is already chemically combined into other substances (like water.)

Ford Focus 2000 Engine Oil Problem?
Hi I have a Ford Focus from the year 2000 with a 1.6 Zetec engine, I have changed the OIL 2500 Miles ago, and today I have checked the OIL level and I found out that it was nearly empty; does anyone knows if this is a common problem on this Ford Focus engine type?
My car Has 68000 miles and I don鈥檛 have blue smoke coming out from the exhaust or any kind of leaking on the engine. Can someone help me please or advice me what to do?Ford Focus 2000 Engine Oil Problem?
make sure that the garage tightened the oil filter. If it is loose at all, it will blow all of the oil out because it is under pressure from the oil pump.Ford Focus 2000 Engine Oil Problem?
I had the same problem. Check air filter also, if it is dirty it makes engine difficulty. I changed the filter it worked. And also i was adviced that the engine oil should be changed in every 10 Miles. Report Abuse
Check oil with the engine off and the car level. If you notice the car burns oil, try using the 15w 40 motor oil in the engine and see what happens.
It is quite usual for a petrol engine to use a 1/2 litre of oil every thousand miles or so. Oil will be burnt by any engine in varying amounts usual caused by oil vapours being burnt off through the intake system. I more serious cases, oil leaks past the piston rings or valve stem oil seals and is burnt off during the combustion process. My advice is for you to conduct an oil usage test by monitoring the engine oil level in the engine when cold on a regular basis. If, as you say, there don't appear to be any external leaks and there is no blue smoke from the exhaust, then it may be acceptable usage. If you find that the usage is more than a 1/2 litre per thousand miles, then the possible cause could be sticking piston rings caused by carbonisation.
the dipstick will only measure oil for the last quart and a half.. so it may just be a quart and a half low... could have been the garage forgot to put all the oil that's required (espcially of garages that don't do too many oil changes) or a slight leak....
also as the other fellow said.. need to check it cold
Did you check the oil when the engine was off? If it was on, you really cant get a true reading. Are there any leaks?
Good way to make sure you're car will run better is to put Lucas oil additive in the oil. Great stuff and cars with that much miles usually will burn some oil

Can any one tell me if Olive Oil is good to use for a person having very high cholesterol problem?
I would also wants to know if we burn Olive Oil at a certain point does it consist of any cholesterol levelCan any one tell me if Olive Oil is good to use for a person having very high cholesterol problem?
Olive oil consumption has a very positive effect on blood cholesterol. Olive oil limits the oxidizing of bad cholesterol (cause of artillery skilorsus and heart disease) because it
is rich in anti-oxidizing agents.
Olive oil contains a series of compounds that are very beneficial to most functions of the human body and its' biological and therapeutic value is related in many aspects to its chemical structure.
The first aspect is its triglyceride composition, made up of fatty acids. Olive oil has a prevalence of monounsaturates, oleic acid principally, while animal fats are fundamentally made up of saturated fatty acids and seed oils of polyunsaturates.
Monounsaturated fatty acids are much more stable. Olive oil also has a low percentage of polyunsaturates and this is important because these kind of fatty acids cannot be synthesized by the body.
The second aspect is in its minor components. The most salient ones are the tocopherols and polyphenols. These components have a major antioxidant function and are closely connected with virgin olive oils because refining processes alter and remove them.
Olive oil, as with any fatty substance, deteriorates during the frying process especially if it is used over and over and if the frying temperature is very high. High temperature destroys the good ingredients of any oil while it creates harmful agents for the liver, the arteries and the heart.
It is important however to take into consideration that these harmful agents are less likely to be created in olive oil than in all other known vegetable oils and this is because olive oil has a different composition. It contains a high percentage of oleic acid, which is much more resistant to oxidization than the polyunsaturated acids, which are found in large amounts in seed oils. But more importantly olive oil contains natural anti-oxidizing agents such as phenols and vitamin E. When heated, olive oil is the most stable fat, which means it stands up well to high frying temperatures. Its high smoking point (210潞 C) is well above the ideal temperature for frying food (180潞 C).Can any one tell me if Olive Oil is good to use for a person having very high cholesterol problem?
cold pressed olive oil is good for you...
Use virgin olive oil, it has less cholesterol...don't know about setting it on fire though...
research has shown that olive oil can be used as a treatment for anythin, i mean anythin. i know someone that takes it everyday she doesn't age a day.
Isn't olive oil an omega 3?
I dunno. Never burned olive oil.
we generlly know that oil always have some level of cholsterol and on the contrary will mean that olive oil will not be a propper solution, except it is been treated propperly to serve the purpose since it is also medicinal.
Olive oil is an excellent source of omega-3 acids and it should be used as the main cooking oil of your diet. Omega-3 acids contains the ';good'; cholesterol HDL which in term helps to remove your ';bad'; cholesterol LDL. Anything that is heated to a high degree would create molecular change, often create carcinogens, olive oil should be just lightly heated (not fry) when cooking with food to retain the original molecular structure. You should consult other natural remedies on top of olive oil to stabilize cholesterol level, please refer to teh list of top natural food for lowering cholesterol http://www.cureshare.com/view_condition.鈥?/a>
Foods that contain a high proportion of saturated fat are butter, ghee, suet, tallow, lard, coconut oil, cottonseed oil.
#1 Olive oil is a mono unsaturated oil, though it has the property of all fats leading to accumulation. It is the best amongst oils and it is suggested for people with cardio-vascular disease.
#2 Any food be it carb, protein, when too much in amount leads to obesity by accumulation(adipose tissue), so FAT isn't the only culprit :)
#3 The Italians generously use olive oil, $ their food is all the more heavy- pastas, spaghetti, pizzas etc.. but they are hale %26amp; healty just b'coz of the virgin olive oil.
Olive oil is very good for you.. not to throw you off.. but the number one food to eat that literally is the next best thing to medication.. is Oatmeal.. eat it everyday.. and it will lower your cholesterol.. I eat it every day.. Monday through Friday.
Look into Coconut Oil, I read this long article on it and the dramatic effects it has on cholesterol problems. My local health store sells it like crazy!
I would think so, but if unsure then ask your dr. Don't know about the burning.
Yes it is, and also fish oil, or oily fish. That does not mean fish cooked in oil or grease.
All oils are bad for everyone, esp. ppl with hight cholesterol.
Olive oil is no exception.
If u heat oil, it become more hydrogenated and contains more and more saturated fat. THAT';S BAD!!

I have a boat with an envirude motor. When I checked the oil it had turned white. What could be the problem?
The last time we went out the boat acted like it wanted to cut off when we tried to go fast. We had to go very slow back to shore. We checked the oil and it was white. I was wondering why this could be.I have a boat with an envirude motor. When I checked the oil it had turned white. What could be the problem?
If the oil is white or milky looking you have water in your oil.I have a boat with an envirude motor. When I checked the oil it had turned white. What could be the problem?
If you're talking about the gearcase oil this is a common problem caused by water leaking past the seals. The gearcase needs to be re-sealed. This can cause a lack of lubrication in the gearcase + cause it to seize. It's possible for it to sporadically do this as water does provide some lubrication + will often keep the unit running at lower speeds.
If this is the case you'll need to have the gearcase torn down and inspected for damage as well as re-sealed
If you're talking about the oil in the oil injection system (If your model is so equipped) then you need to have the unit inspected by a qualified service tech + he can tell you the cause as well as what damage may have been done to the powerhead.
Either way I'm afraid You should take the unit in for service ASAP. Do not run it again ';as is';.
Hope this helps.
Water in the oil will make it white. You need to take it in for repair. Water in the oil is not a good sign.
it's water!!! Bad seals...get service right away...assuming it is a 2 stroke and you are talking gear oil. You can seize your gearbox.
well christian is half right ';file'; is all wrong, brad is correct, aside from all that i would bring you engine in get a 100 hr service, they will change your impeller, oil and pressure test your lower unit, also change the plugs, filters and lube everything up this fixes the majority of problems, you could do it yourself just get a pressure tester.good luck
Well what oil are you talking about. From my first hand experience, if it wont go full speed, replace ALL of your fuel lines and couplings, most importantly your couplings...........as for the oil, if you are talking about the lower unit oil then you have some seals bad, most likely the one behind the prop, remove the prop and you will probably find some fishing line. or the other problem could be your fill and drain plug gaskets.
what year/hp/model changes answers greatly 2 or 4 stroke?
Short and sweet, ';Head Gasket'; needs to be replaced. Or, you have a bad manifold. But, if you don't use the boat or start the engine regularly, it is common to have some moisture in the oil, not milky white. Do a pressure test and then fix the problem. Don't run the boat like this, you will blow the engine.

I'd like to know how prohibiting the United States from drilling its own oil promotes ';energy independence.';
Feinstein and the others still involved with Indonesian oil, I assume...
Is this an essay prompt for Econ110?
The obvious answer would be that too many people drilling will deplete the world's resources. However, the 'Scarcity Problem' in economics arises when a communal good that is ordinarily sustainable is overused. Fishing is a good example. Restrictions are set to ensure that there will always be enough fish.
My answer would be that if a government approaches oil in the same manner, it will only prolong new development of alternative fuels. If you artificially keep the price of oil low, it is a disincentive for companies like BP, Shell, Chevron, GM, and Ford to come up with new ways to make money in a multi-trillion dollar market.

Are you sure it's the ';oil'; filter thats gas saturated or the air filter?
If it is the air filter, sounds like the float for the needle valve is sticking allowing the carburator to overflow and spill gas into the air filter. The carb must be dissasembled, throughly cleaned and reassembled, and a new air filter installed. All the parts needed to work on Craftsman equipment can be found at Sears.com

if the flame dies out then back on the oil flow is coming in too slow. a pinched,plugged or air leaking oil line.there is a filter screen inside most oil pumps under end cap.a small air leak in fitting can make same problem. some times the pump cannot make 100 lbs of pressure to open internal pressure relief valve. by pass original supply line by putting a line ie the tank fill and see if you have same problemHi, my oil boiler it lights with no problem and than about quarter of the way the flame goes out?

Is it a problem that my son put .5 quart of lawnmower oil into the gas tank?
What might happen to the mower? Is it a problem that my son put .5 quart of lawnmower oil into the gas tank?
If you haven't run it you need to drain the fuel from the tank and refill with the proper straight gas.
To drain; find the hose that's coming from the tank and disconnect. try to catch as much fuel as possible using a small bowl. Discard fuel properly or add it back into the gas can that's mixed.
If it's been run than you have introduced oil into the system which will result in smoking sputtering and possibly stalling.
1/2 a quart of oil is allot so the fuel lines and carburetor need to be cleaned as much as possible if run.
The tank needs to be drained regardless.
Residual oil in the system will smoke a bit but nothing to become alarmed over; it will stop smoking in a few minutes.
The spark plug will most likely need a cleaning or you can just buy a new one(5 bucks)
If your a DIY'r you can do all this yourself, if not get it to a small engine repair shop.
You may have oil pooled in the carburetor. Most carbs have a small screw/bolt on the bottom allowing you to drain them and/or pull the bowl cover(small round cup looking thing) off and drain it. Do that, and spray carb cleaner inside. Make sure you use fresh gas in the tank at least for this tankful.Is it a problem that my son put .5 quart of lawnmower oil into the gas tank?
You will have to drain that oil from the gas tank.Pull the spark plug and clean it.Drain any oil from the cylinder (while plug out).fill with good gas.prime and start(it may take a couple of trys.When it does start there will be a LOT!! of smoke coming out.(enough to tell neighbors you are fogging for mosquitoes so they don't call the fire dept).But it will clear up and be ok.
You'll spew alot of smoke and leave oil deposits in the carburetor.
I'd try to empty the tank, clean it out as much as you can, and fill with fresh gas before running the engine.
If you haven't run it you need to drain the fuel from the tank and refill with the proper straight gas.
To drain; find the hose that's coming from the tank and disconnect. try to catch as much fuel as possible using a small bowl. Discard fuel properly or add it back into the gas can that's mixed.
If it's been run than you have introduced oil into the system which will result in smoking sputtering and possibly stalling.
1/2 a quart of oil is allot so the fuel lines and carburetor need to be cleaned as much as possible if run.
The tank needs to be drained regardless.
Residual oil in the system will smoke a bit but nothing to become alarmed over; it will stop smoking in a few minutes.
The spark plug will most likely need a cleaning or you can just buy a new one(5 bucks)
If your a DIY'r you can do all this yourself, if not get it to a small engine repair shop.
You may have oil pooled in the carburetor. Most carbs have a small screw/bolt on the bottom allowing you to drain them and/or pull the bowl cover(small round cup looking thing) off and drain it. Do that, and spray carb cleaner inside. Make sure you use fresh gas in the tank at least for this tankful.Is it a problem that my son put .5 quart of lawnmower oil into the gas tank?
You will have to drain that oil from the gas tank.Pull the spark plug and clean it.Drain any oil from the cylinder (while plug out).fill with good gas.prime and start(it may take a couple of trys.When it does start there will be a LOT!! of smoke coming out.(enough to tell neighbors you are fogging for mosquitoes so they don't call the fire dept).But it will clear up and be ok.

Pressure on oil furnace keeps getting too high so can somebody help me and tell whats the problem?
I had changed pressure valve, expansion tank all the cold water are open, It seems that not enough water gets supplied in the furnace.
all the pipes make noise until pressure is regulated manually.Pressure on oil furnace keeps getting too high so can somebody help me and tell whats the problem?
do you mean you replaced the pressure relief valve,,or the water pressure regulater [fill valve].....i think you meant the relief valve [30psi..? ].....also,did you replaced the expansion tank or just make sure the valve to it was open.....if you have the old style exp tank it needs to be drained..the old style is large,holds about 15-20 gallons,usually mounted at the ceiling above the boiler somewhere in the basement ..its not enough just to turn the shutoof valve off and the drain valve open...you have to introduce air into the tank to break the vacuum created by the water leaving,otherwise you get very little water out and think its empty..to introduce air,,you need to open or remove the bleed port/plug on the drain valve [ if it has one] while the drain valve is open...if no bleed port exists on the drain valve or elsewhere on the tank,,then look for a union in the inlet pipe between the shutoff and the tank,,open the union while drain valve is open....if no union exists then you have to leave the drain valve open with hose attached for a long while,usually the water will eventually gurgle out while air goes in in spurts.........if you have the newer type exp tank,,compact,capacity of around 2-4 gallons,,you should just replace it....the relief valve may have just been doing its job,,although old relief valves often dont reset , [ re-close], after opening.....after all is done,,pressure in system should be around 12-15 psi,,whether regulated by auto-fill valve or by you manually....hope your problem was related to this,,i didnt fully understand the question......i assume you have a hot water boiler..........danPressure on oil furnace keeps getting too high so can somebody help me and tell whats the problem?
Even a new furnace of this type has it's problems.
You will have to do it manually.
Actually you have to much water going into the system.
Do you have a glass tube on the furnace showing water.
This should show half full.
It sounds like either the air eliminator is not doing its job or the new expansion tank was not charged with air when it was installed.

Was my tappet problem caused by not changing the oil?
My car has a tappet problem.Was it caused by not changing the oil.Was my tappet problem caused by not changing the oil?
could have been yes if you didnt change it at all yes that and many other problems that you have not seen yet tappets are first to go bad or tick most case either old age 100,000 or more or not many oil changes should be like every 3000 miles to protect engine partsWas my tappet problem caused by not changing the oil?
It probably was caused by not changing the oil regularly, but other things could cause it also.
High mileage can cause the ';valve train'; to wear so much that the hydralic lifters cannot compensate enough.
Also, the metal in part of the camshaft may be too soft and cause premature failure. It is not unusual for only one ';tappet'; to fail which is an indication of a defect. If all are noisey, it was the oil!
Shouldnt be to expensive to replace, but worth doing sooner rather than later.
Plus it will drive you nuts when the music is off...
As for the cause, it could of been caused by lack of oil, incorrect viscosity (oil rating), or to much presure (to much oil in the system).
There are other reasons, like high mileage, general wear...
Hope i helped
this depends, if you have hydraulic tappets it could be as this could cause excessive wear in the tappet and lose pressure, this is because they designed to work at a certain oil pressure, if it's a standard solid tappet it could cause a problem if the oil had not been changed for 40k + but is still unusual.
well, yes , we need to change to oil often, 3 to 5,000 miles but, ur problem could have been caused by a number of other things . could b a bad cam lobe, a failed lifter or something stupid like a bad lock nut on the adjuster(if it has adjusters) that might have happened even if the oil were changed regular so, lets not look for a ';blame'; let's look for a reason and turn the blame into a lesson
good luck
If the tappets are hydraulic then yes. They rely on oil at the correct viscosity to operate them. In time oil will 'wear out' or become thin.
Yes, absolutely.

Hi, my oil boiler it lights with no problem and than about quarter of the way the flame goes out?
Hi, my oil boiler it lights with no problem and than about quarter of the way the flame goes out?
than it goes back on this happens two three times in a full cycle i do not have to hit the reset button at all,the flame goes out for a few seconds and lights back up.... changed the filters, nozzle, electrodes checked all fitting ty for your time james
Hi, i checked all of the controls and had them tested all are working fine do you have any other suggestions?Hi, my oil boiler it lights with no problem and than about quarter of the way the flame goes out?
Does the burner motor go off when the flame goes out? You might be drawing air in through a crack in the fuel line or maybe have a flare fitting or compression fitting that isn't sealing properly. Where are the tank and filter located? If they're outside and it's cold enough, the fuel could be partially gelling up in the filter housing and thus giving an intermittent supply of liquid fuel. How old is the pump itself? A pressure gauge in the test port on the pump should show a rock steady 100p.s.i. with the burner running. That's for starters. Could be more.

If you found the answer to the worlds energy problem and it would force out all of our oil, coal, and nuclear?
what would you do there is no way to trust anyone with this information. It would be worth trillions of dollars. Most industry would be forced to convert. Many powerful people would get hurt. The energy source would produce no harmful waste. (hypothetical)???????If you found the answer to the worlds energy problem and it would force out all of our oil, coal, and nuclear?
Here are 3 case studies:
1. In the 1970's, a chemist and his young son - who is a genius, develop a method for reusing oil. They build a factory, win the Queen's Award For Industry and in their 1st year make over 拢1 million. Then, one night, a fire breaks out - the factory is burned down. The insurance company argues the fire was caused by arson, so wont pay out. They lose everything. A few weeks later, at an ajoining site, another factory suddenly emerges recycling used oil, owned and run by a competitor copying, taking all their orders. (TRUE story - happened to my uncle. The factory was called: Crewe Chemicals).
2:: A man develops an amazing new material. It resists lasers. Lasers cannot burn it. He calls this: Starlite. It is easy to make - he made the sample in his home. He takes Starlite to ICI.
ICI test the material and find it is the new wonder material suitable for using as a main building material EG. making new-style space craft. The inventor asks for payment for his discovery. He is told to get lost. ICI argues: We have people coming everyday saying they have wonderful inventions. We can't pay all of them! He goes away refusing to give anybody the formula until he is paid a decent sum of money. Nobody pursues his invention - it is lost.
3: A group of people in America get together to make plastic wood - hard-wearing, very durable, plastic, made to look same as timber, but much stronger - to stop deforestation. They call themselves: Better World Technologies. They do everything they can think of to get their ideas, which develop even further, off the ground. All falls on deaf ears. They are regarded by skeptics as nutters. They launch a website selling the information. But the USA government suspects their peaceful aims, and shuts them down!
So my advice is: If you care about world peace, and energy security for the masses, give your invention to the people who most need it. Put the info. on the web for FREE so it becomes widely known.
Sure, many would not agree with me. They'd want big bucks - riches beyond their imagination. But we are in the 11th hour. If we don't achieve a breakthrough very soon - all hell will break loose. Think about that before going down the patent route.If you found the answer to the worlds energy problem and it would force out all of our oil, coal, and nuclear?
There is such a system which could be an answer to the world's energy problem and the system is solar power and a political system based on communal ownership of solar power arrays as well as communal ownership of money.
Another way it could be done is for nuclear power to be owned by citizens.
This then means that all alternate forms of energy are owned and produced by citizens in each country and so resolves Global Warming.
No one!!!
Many out in this dog eat dog world have been on the receiving end of IP theft sadly, or not sadly if you gained spiritually from that somehow...alhamdulillah.
I agree with Gillian...thanks for sharing that info Gillian as that was a really interesting read too.
It could be as an act of altruism to improve the lot of people worldwide, how great would that be for you on the grand scale of things if your intention for doing so was purely for altruism to help the poor and needy worldwide. Think about it. I know it will not pay your bills but you would surely gain in other ways.
Do you alternatively have the technological know how, means and funds to see this through by yourself, if you want to gain financial benefit for yourself and your inheritors, such as your family.
Good luck with whatever you decide.
Why would you need to ';submit';? Patent your idea, then start up your business.
Of course, it's highly doubtful that whatever idea you come up with has not already been thought of and tried at least a dozen times already, but it could happen.

1999 Chevy Oil pan problem. What should I do?
I was changing my oil on my chevy silverado. When I loosened my plug it springed out like it had pressure to it. After taking a look at it, i notice that all of the tread from the oil pan had wedged in with the tread of the plug. I now have not tread for my oil pan to tighten the plug. What should I do? Do I need to replace my entire oil pan? If so is there a website that will show me how to do so? Let me know please.1999 Chevy Oil pan problem. What should I do?
Go to any auto parts store with your old plug, they have self tapping oil drain bolts in different sizes that will fit. These are made to solve the problem of stripped treads.1999 Chevy Oil pan problem. What should I do?
go to the auto parts store and get a over sized drain plug,i wouldn't use a helicore,they dont always work,usually end up pulling back out,if you cant get the pan to seal up you will prob have to bite the bullet and get yourself a new pan.
get self tapping oil pan plg available at any parts store

What are the causes of oil entering your cooling system? What repairs can be done to fix this problem.?
Looks like antifreeze hasn't been changed in a long time and liquid is of brown muddy color. temperture indicator reads normal. no over-heating yet. Was told can not flush out cooling system until cause of oil leak is found. How costly would these repairs be?What are the causes of oil entering your cooling system? What repairs can be done to fix this problem.?
Just because it is brown doesn't mean that it's oil in the coolant. Coolant will usually turn brown due to rust deposits if it hasn't been changed in a very long time.
Have an experienced mechanic perform these two tests: first, apply a coolant system pressure gauge on the radiator or expansion tank opening. Have the engine run and see if pressure builds and fluctuates. If it does then combustion pressure is entering the cooling system indicating a bad gasket or cracked or warped head.
Second, have the mechanic probe the radiator or expansion tank opening with an exhaust probe. A higher than normal hydrocarbon reading indicates oil in the coolant.
You can usually see streaks floating across the water if there is oil in the system. You can always flush the coolant, it won't hurt anything. It's just that it won't solve a bad gasket, cracked or warped head or cracked block.What are the causes of oil entering your cooling system? What repairs can be done to fix this problem.?
is your anti-freeze orange or green if its orange then drain it flush the system and add new antifreeze you probably have a chevy car that's normal condition cause of the orange anti-freeze.but now say it was oil and it was brow-redish color then check you trany oil is it pink or red automatic transsmission cool the oil usin the radiator coolant like a heat exchange if that's crack then you'll see oil in coolant an coolant in trany oil. hope this helps you
Oil in the coolant would be floating on top and have a very distinct petroleum smell to it.
If the coolant is just a muddy brown color, it's probably just rust. Get it flushed and put in new coolant.
the place on the radiator where the transmission lines are hooked up to probably has a hole in it and you are mixing transmission fluid and anti-freeze together.
Probably a bad head gasket is causing the oil to mix with coolant.
IT COULD BHE A BAD HEAD GASKET OR A CRACKED BLOCK.wrinkle eye cream

My '89 Chevy pick-up has a severe oil leak. What could be the cause of the problem?
The leak is above the oil filter. The filter is not the problem, neither is the pressure sensor. Any suggestions would be appreciated.My '89 Chevy pick-up has a severe oil leak. What could be the cause of the problem?
Well likely just a gasket as long as its the valve cover not the head gasket its not bad at all probably 20 minutes or less.the cause could just be a bad seal but it could also have too much oil pressure..My '89 Chevy pick-up has a severe oil leak. What could be the cause of the problem?
It would depend on how fast it is leaking for one and when :Standing at idle in park,or while moving,or both ?
I would power wash the engine as best possible ,to get a clear view for a leak,Park it over some dry cardboard let it idle a while.Shut it off and look for a leak above the marks left on the cardboard .The same works for finding leaks after being driven a while .
Cardboard or white paper board is good for this just be sure it is placed under the engine and weighted down to stay in place.
I am leaning toward a valve cover gasket leak ,if it is leaking onto the head and running off down the block it should show burnt caked deposits on exhaust manifold side from all the heat .
I'd take a look right up the back of the block, and down the side the filter's on. It sounds like valve cover gasket. Not expenxive to fix. Other culprit in this area is the oil pressure sender unit..again not expensive
One of two other possible causes, head gasket leak or valve cover leak.
there must be a crack where the filter screws on or the oil is running down from the valve pans.

My Toro snowblower isn't getting spark and won't start. It has gas and oil in it. What could be the problem?
change the spark plug,,you need a spark to create combustionMy Toro snowblower isn't getting spark and won't start. It has gas and oil in it. What could be the problem?
Spark comes from the coil through the voltage regulator. To check for spark, take off spark plug wire and hold it just above the spark plug, turn over engine and you should see a nice blue light. Make sure you wear rubber gloves when you do this or you may get shocked.
If no spark, check:
voltage regulator
Coil (electronic ignition)
Distributer (if equipped with one)
BatteryMy Toro snowblower isn't getting spark and won't start. It has gas and oil in it. What could be the problem?
You have a dirty sparkplug. Take the sparkplug out and clean it with a wire brush. Also sandpaper the gap surfaces. Before you put it back in, spray a couple of shots of instant-start into the chamber. That should do it. It should start right up within the first 2 or 3 pulls!
It could be a fouled spark plug or it could be flooded.
If it is flooded you should be able to smell a strong gas odor. Let it set for a half hour and try it again. I suggest you change the plug also.
If this is the first time you've started it since last winter I hope you didn't leave the gas in it as it will go bad. If this happens you will have to clean it out with a manufacturer recommended cleaner.
If you do not have spark, turn the key on. All Toro snowblowers have an ignition key that you turn or insert. Also you need to check and make sure the spark plug boot is securly over the plug.
If all this does not work, that it to your local dealer and have them check out the electrical system.
Spark comes from the coil through the voltage regulator. To check for spark, take off spark plug wire and hold it just above the spark plug, turn over engine and you should see a nice blue light. Make sure you wear rubber gloves when you do this or you may get shocked.
If no spark, check:
voltage regulator
Coil (electronic ignition)
Distributer (if equipped with one)
BatteryMy Toro snowblower isn't getting spark and won't start. It has gas and oil in it. What could be the problem?
You have a dirty sparkplug. Take the sparkplug out and clean it with a wire brush. Also sandpaper the gap surfaces. Before you put it back in, spray a couple of shots of instant-start into the chamber. That should do it. It should start right up within the first 2 or 3 pulls!

The oil pressure guage on your 2001 chevy silverado drops to zero,what could be the problem?
When Im driving the oil pressure starts gradually dropping to zero. i pull over and turn engine off and wait about 5 min and restart and it goes back up to 40. Is this from the guage or oil pressure sensor or oil pump?The oil pressure guage on your 2001 chevy silverado drops to zero,what could be the problem?
Oil level, pressure sensor and pressure relief valve, blocked oil lines and/or galleries, worn out oil pump. Could even be a blocked oil filter. Change your oil and filter first - it's pretty cheap - then start looking at the pressure relief valve, then the sensor, then the oil pump.
Be careful - you should have at least (it varies from make to make) 15lb of oil pressure at idle, and somewhere around 40 to 60 lb while driving, depending on your engine. Don't let it drop so low before shutting the engine off, or you'll really so some significant damage.
Good luck!The oil pressure guage on your 2001 chevy silverado drops to zero,what could be the problem?
Try the pressure sensor first. It's cheaper, but a pain in the asss to replace.
You got to trust the guage until you know it is bad or wrong, so first check the oil.
Is there a reason that oil maybe doesn't flow back down to the pan from your top end?
Does this have 300,000 miles?
Oil pressures start out high like 100-110 PSI in a cold engine and then drop to 35-45 PSI when it reaches operating temperature of 200F.
If the crankshaft main bearings and connecting rod bearings are very worn the pressure will drop to near zero but you will usually have some lifter noise and will be using (burning) copious amounts of oil between oil changes.
This sounds more like the gauge or sending unit or like some other folks mentioned you may be low a few quarts of oil. If this happens the low oil light usually comes on the dash to alert you that the oil pressure is too low. Not always, however.
Good Luck!
Could be as simple as having a low oil level. Once the oil is circulating there isn't enough. Try checking your oil, if you haven't already.
Good luck!
well does it seem to contunue to run right when the guage goes to zero if so it is the senser if she soundes funny it is the pump
Better check this with a gauge that is known to be accurate.Connect the gauge,find the o.p. sending switch,pull it out of the engine,and connect the gauge here. Run the engine in your driveway,watch the gauge as the engine comes up to operating temperature.Normal oil pressure will drop as the oil heats up.40 is about normal for chevy at180/200 degrees water temperature.Also check the pressure reving up the engine r.p.m. Good Luck.
To be losing that much oil pressure is far-fetched. Rather than throw parts at it to figure it out, this should be diagnosed professionally for a more serious concern. Sounds like the oil pressure sensor could be internally breached (assuming it isn't fully breached to the point that it is leaking oil). This is based on the fact that you don't have a Check Engine Light in your concern. The sensor won't set a code. However, if the oil pressure had dropped to zero, you would also be mentioning one heck of a racket coming from the engine. This sounds entirely electrical and if you decide not to fork over anywhere from 75 to 100 bucks for the diagnostic, you might want to go ahead and drop a 20 and get the oil pressure sensor. Easy enough to replace.
One more thing. As a warranty claims adjuster, I have been seeing lately alot of claims on Chevrolet instrument clusters for guages acting this way. You may want to have this checked out, but it could very possibly be your instrument cluster failing as well. Usually the complaint is on the speedometer, temp guage, or fuel guage, but I have seen a few with oil guages acting this way.
it sounds to me you like you simply need to bleed the air out of the system.slacken off the nut next to the gauge ,start up your motor and air will be seen as bubbles when thwy seise to be seen tighten up the nut .
it could be either one what you need to do is put a manual oil pressure guage on your truck and make sure the oil pressure is in fact good then go from there
