Some people remain attached to the 3,000-mile oil change and have a hard time trusting the recommendations in the ownerâs manual. If youâre one of those skeptics, you can send your engine oil out to be analyzed.
Picnic tables made of pressure-treated wood have become common, and are fine to use for the purpose they were intended... to serve food on (or play cards on), not to prepare food on! They should be coated as needed with an oil-based wood preservative (not paint or opaque stain) to seal in the chemical preservative.
You can purchase pressure-treated (PT) wood as lumber, boards, posts, and even plywood! Its unique ability to fend off decay makes it ideal in any high moisture and/or ground contact installations. Yet, there is much misinformation, and, in some cases, disinformation concerning pressure-treated wood, its maintenance requirements, and its safety in common use.
