Truth:
Oil is not like ‘Fine Wine’ - it doesn’t improve with age. Old oil turns into sludge and loves making a mess.
Myth:
“Oil never goes bad if the machine is never used”
Myth:
“If it starts, it doesn’t need a tune-up.”
Truth:
Just because it purrs doesn’t mean it’s healthy. Think of a tune-up as a spa day for your machine.
Myth:
“Premium gas makes every engine run better.”
Truth:
Most small engines couldn’t care less about fancy fuel. They just want gas a little bit of respect.
Myth:
“Blades don’t need sharpening until they stop cutting.”
Truth:
Dull blades are like chewing gum on the lawn - they tear more than they cut. Sharpen them before they ruin your day.
Myth:
“You only need to charge a battery once in a while.”
Truth:
Batteries are divas - they sulk and die if left alone. Regular charging keeps them from constantly nagging you, unlike your wife. Sorry.
Myth:
“Adding fuel stabilizer once will protect the gas forever..”
Truth:
Fuel has a short memory. It’ll still go stale and gum up the works if you ignore it.
