  • Hi everyone,

    As you all know, Coffee (Dean) passed away a couple of years ago. I am Dean's ex-wife's husband and happen to have spent my career in tech. Over the years, I occasionally helped Dean with various tech issues.

    When he passed, I worked with his kids to gather the necessary credentials to keep this site running. Since then (and for however long they worked with Coffee), Woodschick and Dirtdame have been maintaining the site and covering the costs. Without their hard work and financial support, CafeHusky would have been lost.

    Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been working to migrate the site to a free cloud compute instance so that Woodschick and Dirtdame no longer have to fund it. At the same time, I’ve updated the site to a current version of XenForo (the discussion software it runs on). The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.

    Unfortunately, the new software version doesn’t support importing the old site’s styles, so for now, you’ll see the XenForo default style. This may change over time.

    Coffee didn’t document the work he did on the site, so I’ve been digging through the old setup to understand how everything was running. There may still be things I’ve missed. One known issue is that email functionality is not yet working on the new site, but I hope to resolve this over time.

    Thanks for your patience and support!

Oil Change

A Class
I own a 2012 Te310. The manual calls for Castrol 10-50. Very hard oil to find. Yamalube makes a 10-50 semi synthetic oil which I purchased. I am thinking its as good as oil as any and it will work well with my Husky. I wanted to stick with the recommended weight. Good logic or bad?
 
Mobil1 0W40. When we raced the xlites as the Husqvarna factory team, the oil was so thick that we could not obtain enough flow over the rod bearing which resulted in premature failure. Since then we have done extensive testing with lighter grade oils including Mobil1 0w40 and Torco 5W40 with very satisfactory results.

For some reason, Wal-marts here do not carry the Mobil 1 in 0W40. I have checked about 5-6 stores and they never have it.

As an easy alternative, Rotella T6 makes a full synthetic in 5W-40 and every Walmart DOES carry that. price is around $18-21 per gallon. I get it at my local farm store for only $15.50 - that is a falt out bargain and is really great oil.
