You definitely love your car if you have reached this article and started reading it with interest after reading its title “DIY Car Engine Oil Change”. People don’t want to dirty their hands and change oil themselves and leave it on mechanic at service center.  However this is good till your car is under your warranty but after that you are not sure what type of oil is going inside your car engine. Even under warranty you should keep an eye.  Engine oil is vital part and before it gets too black and stop doing its work, you should change it. Black oil always does not mean its gone bad, its only carrying the dirt of your engine and keeping your engine clean but not allowing those dirt to settle on engine components. Ok now let’s get back to topic of oil change for an old car which is not under warranty and you are free to try your own brand of oil.

First of all you need to check your car manual for the “grade” of engine oil your car engine needs. It’s written something like 15w40 or 20w50 etc. If you have lost the manual then don’t worry, just search Google and you should get fairly accurate info. For older engines with lots of kilometers done, 20w50 which is thicker oil is good. For newer engines 15w40 is good enough but you can also use 20w50 if you drive in extremely hot climate conditions or using or using alternative fuels like LPG or CNG which makes engine valves hotter than when same engine is running on gasoline.  These ratings were for mineral engine oils, if you check out synthetic range of engine oils, you will see ratings like 5w50 or even as low as 0w50! The number before “w” represents viscosity of oil when engine is cold and after “w” when engine is hot. Cold engine needs thin oil so that all components get lubricated as quickly as possible to avoid wear and when engine is hot, it needs thick oil to withstand heat and provide lubrication in extreme condition. So now you got why synthetic oils are better for your car but they come at premium price. So if your budget allows, do use them else stick to mineral oil which are also good.

Once you have selected the right engine oil for your car, you need to buy few other things as well which includes:

1. New Oil Filter
2. Drain pan (if you don’t have already)
3. Disposable gloves (cheap plastic ones)
4. Wrench to open oil sump nut.
5. Rag to clean spilled oil, grease and grime.
6. Funnel

Now what is oil filter? Where it is located? And what is sump nut? Worry not I’ll tell you everything.  Apart from Oil, Wrench and New oil filter, you really don’t need to buy anything else if you don’t have but also want to save money.

We computer geeks never think much about clothes and wear whatever feels comfortable. An image of geek is someone with beard; wearing loose fitting clothes and having totally an uncared look on face. But sometimes on special occasions no one is spared from shopping for nice looking clothes. 29th May I have to attend a marriage ceremony of one of my friend’s sister and I am not going to let myself left unnoticed by girls there! Marriage parties are the occasions where you should look best, even the person who invited you will be pleased that his/her guest are coming smartly dressed. Winter season is a kind of marriage season here and sometimes it becomes hard to attend every party you were invited too because of clash of dates. This maybe one reason sale of premium quality mens sweaters rises sharply. I have seen people searching for particular design in market and just because good designs get sold out quickly, not everyone is able to get the best. I think people should head straight to their PC and look at online store rather than wasting time in market. Also quality stuff is not assured in shops unless you really know how to sniff and make out genuine wool from fake ones but at online store you can be assured of good quality product. You must have seen how some of your sweaters look like new even after seeing many winters while some start loosing their gleam very early. Anyways since I have to shop for new clothes too, I am looking some casual dress but I am not able to make up my mind what to buy, looks like I need some advice as I am not good in choosing clothes for myself but for others, my advice works well. I am refraining myself from wearing suit due to hot weather but looks like no other option left. Guys help me out and suggest me something nice.

Yesterday I was working on my clients site transferring it from old tired and not so reliable hosting to new blazing fast and much more reliable host but my bad luck only half of the work was done and my internet connection conked off. I thought it’s a temporary problem and I took a break from work. Returned after few hours to see its still not connecting. Called up the ISP guys and they said they are fixing. Called several times and they kept assuring me that it will be fixed in few hours but day went and they could not fix it. Next day first thing I did was went straight to their office and lodged complain. Somehow in afternoon they were able to rectify the problem and I came online almost after 24 hours! Immediately I finished the transfer process and apologized to clients for the delay. Lesson learnt was when my work depends so much on Internet, I should have a backup Internet connection. I went to compare Internet service providers on various websites and found a site called saveology.com, which had the best information and actually helped me saving money that I would have spent on Internet plans which doesn’t match my requirements well. Because my current ISP provides good speed at down to earth rates but only problem is that its sometime not reliable, all I needed was a secondary net connection that is reliable and would bill me only for the use and no monthly bills. Also if this connection is portable like using Wi-Fi , 3G or any modern wireless technology then I can use this connection when I visit remote areas (which I do occasionally) where one can’t find cyber cafes. Also I am not comfortable using cyber cafes system as they are usually infected with virus and malwares. Using personal details on these systems means an open invite to trouble.

Lately I have observed then whenever I search for something in Google and on the very first page of results, the top ten sites are not much of relevance. Those on the right side of the page, which are sponsored listings, do match my query. Few days’ back I was searching for cheap hosting and only names I saw in search results were hosting review sites and some big names in hosting which are obviously not cheap. But I was looking for a cheap one. One look at the sponsored listing and I finalized; this was the cheapest I could find till date. Thing is people who deserve to come up in organic search results need to pay to get visible. Something is seriously wrong with Google now, people are easily able to optimize their crap sites to fool Google search algorithm and come up in search results. Taking example of someone like me searching for cheap hosting will like to see some really down to earth cheap hosting in top ten results and not hosting review sites which came up in result just because they had lots of relevant text in them but none of them will actually give you cheap hosting plan.
