How often does he reccommend lubing his muffler bearings? or should you wait til they start squealing too?
Sorry I can't wait around for the answer, I've got to go change the air in my tires- you know, old air molecules get worn down with age, and can slip between the layers of your tire so as to cause a slow leak. Ever hear a tire squeal as you go around a corner? The sound is the tiired air molecules being driven between the layers of the tire, making a squeeling noise. It's why the insides of tubeless tires have a texture to them- it grips the air, helping it to spin with the tire rather than letting it bounce around and abrade itself....mmm...maybe I can lube the inside of my tires to prevent the abrasion???...
