What brand and weight of oil should I use in my 2007 Honda Shadow 750 Spirit? Also, how many quarts does it take?
Is there any other maintenance I should perform when I do the oil change?What brand and weight of oil should I use in my 2007 Honda Shadow Spirit 750?
Any quality brand of 10W-40 or 5W-50 will do. Change the oil filter at least every other oil change; many do it with every change, but that's more frequent than necessary. I don't know how much oil it will take; probably 3 to 4 quarts with a half quart extra when the oil filter is also changed.
Other things to check are: Hose condition, Coolant level, Brake Fluid level, Battery connections, Brake pad wear, and Windshield washer fluid level. Also periodically check the tires for abnormal as well as normal wearWhat brand and weight of oil should I use in my 2007 Honda Shadow Spirit 750?

When oil prices rise, is this positive or negative for railroad stocks?
I think it is cheaper to transport goods by rail than road. Maybe the trains are powered by oil, so fuel costs rise, but the railroads become more competitive because it is expensive to run trucks also.
So, what's the answer? Are high oil prices good or bad for railroad stocks.When oil prices rise, is this positive or negative for railroad stocks?
Just correlate railroad and trucking stock charts with that of oil.When oil prices rise, is this positive or negative for railroad stocks?
I think if it were that simple it would be a lot easier to make money in the market.
You need to consider some other factors. As oil prices rise, consumers have less discretionary income, because more of their money goes to fuels for driving and heating (winter is coming!).
In addition, higher oil prices lead to higher costs in manufacturing, especially for petroleum derivatives like plastics.
If consumers have less to spend, and manufacturing goods costs more, is there enough of an off-set gained by shipping by rail? Not sure, the net could still be a loss which leads to less demand for goods in the economy. Ultimately, it might just balance out. That is, manufactures may ship more by rail, but overall production may have fallen enough to off set the increased shipping.
My gut feeling is no, higher oil prices will not lead to better performance in railroad stocks.
Bad. It increases their fuel cost and they may not be able to pass this on to customers, which will eat into profits .

How can I create a nice background on oil paintings?
It seems that no matter what you paint as long as you do a nice background on your painting. Unfortunately, I am not good at combining colors. I am doing a painting but cannot make up my mind about the best background composition for my painting. Can you give me hand on this?How can I create a nice background on oil paintings?
depending on what your picture is that your trying to create the background for you want it to exsentuate the main event in your picture. what i would do is exspirament with different backgrounds first on a small peice of paper than hold them up to your main event and see what one works better for the art peice. but when you work with oil paints you want to do your backgrounds first. just make sure its fully dry before you start your main event. it can end badly if you dontHow can I create a nice background on oil paintings?
You should always experiment and keep practicing with your colors. Let yourself go. Study other painters. Look at what they did. Matisse, david park, elmer Bishop...Look and see how they solved the problem of background.
Meanwhile do this...mix your colors on the pallet add some wax ,medium
not too much then get a painting knife and trowel it on the canvas..very randomly. then scrape it all off and let it dry for several days. Then paint back over it and allow some of the background to show through. It is fun, it leads to seeing shapes, space, and color, and gives great depth to paintings.
enjoy!

I have a bottle of extra virgin olive oil with spices in it .How long can I keep it before it spoils?
I have a botle of extra virgin olive oil with oregano, onion, boukovo and black pepper in it that someone gave me as a souvenir. How long can I keep it before it spoils? I don't plan on opening it, just keeping it on a shelf. Will it every get moldy or smelly and stuff? Or can I keep it forever?I have a bottle of extra virgin olive oil with spices in it .How long can I keep it before it spoils?
Extra virgin olive oil has a long shelf life. Just keep it away from a heat source. Direct heat can mess up oil especially with spices in it.I have a bottle of extra virgin olive oil with spices in it .How long can I keep it before it spoils?
If you have a good seal on the bottle, it'll last a very long time.
Olive oil naturally lasts for a very long time (about 15 months if properly stored). It keeps its natural properties due to the presence of natural antioxidants. Remember that you shouldn鈥檛 keep olive oil in a carafe on the table for very long. [shelf life]

What are the basic steps to create an oil painting?
Ok, I got the colours, painting oil, brushes etc, but my first attempt was a bit of a mess! So, how do I start?What are the basic steps to create an oil painting?
Use some mixing agents like linseed oil and paint thinner. Experiment to find the consistecy you like. Minimize your color palette. Try to work with two or three hues plus white for your first few paintings. Make sure you keep your brushes really clean between colors... I like to start with a pencil sketch on the canvas, then I paint in a ';wash'; with a single color diluted with paint thinner. After that dries (doesn't take long when it is diluted), I start in with paint mixed with linseed oil. These are just a few tips from a fellow self-taught oil painter. HAVE FUN!What are the basic steps to create an oil painting?
First you have to prime the canvas or board with Gesso. (Ask your art store about it.) It helps to size the medium and provides a base for the paint you are going to put on it.
Some people like to sketch in pencil on the canvas to help them paint. It gives you a guide to go by, and helps you to visualize what you are going to paint.
Then, mix the colours with the painting oil until you get the consistency you want out of the paint. Some people like toothpaste like thickness, other people prefer a dilute wash. It all boils down to personal prefs.
Then, decide what you want to paint, and stroke away. It helps to start with light colors first, then paint the darker colors.
Hope you have fun, and don't worry about making it look ';right'; A lot of modern art looks like what your first painting will look like, and it sells for big money......
A lesson.
Go to the art store and pick up a book for oil painting for beginners. Its the best way to learn. If you have more $$ to spend, get a video and paint along with the artist. Have fun!

What are the benefits of switching to olive oil?
Someone told me that the oil I am using right now is unhealthy (canola, vegetable). I just wanted to know what are the benefits because olive oil is a lot more expensive.What are the benefits of switching to olive oil?
Olive oil contains a series of compounds that are very beneficial to most functions of the human body and its' biological and therapeutic value is related in many aspects to its chemical structure.
The first aspect is its triglyceride composition, made up of fatty acids. Olive oil has a prevalence of monounsaturates, oleic acid principally, while animal fats are fundamentally made up of saturated fatty acids and seed oils of polyunsaturates.
Monounsaturated fatty acids are much more stable. Olive oil also has a low percentage of polyunsaturates and this is important because these kind of fatty acids cannot be synthesized by the body.
The second aspect is in its minor components. The most salient ones are the tocopherols and polyphenols. These components have a major antioxidant function and are closely connected with virgin olive oils because refining processes alter and remove them.
Extra-virgin olive oil is the most digestible of the edible fats and:
it helps to assimilate vitamins A, D and K;
it contains essential acids that cannot be produced by our own
bodies;
it slows down the aging process;
it helps bile, liver and intestinal functions.
More details clicking on the link below...What are the benefits of switching to olive oil?
Olive oil is a good fat, within reason.
It is an excellent source of heart-healthy monounsaturated fats that may lower the bad cholesterol and raise the good cholesterol.
It contains Vitamin E and antioxidants.
It's an good replacement for saturated fats like butter.
It's worth the extra price, but olive oil has essential fatty acids that actually fight bad oil in your body, while regular oil has no benefits and can be potentially fatal to your heart and overall health, especially when it comes to cholesterol.
Try extra virgin olive oil (you'd like that wouldn't you).
none
Olive Oil consists of more monosaturated fats than any other oil. It also contains less Saturated fats and Polysaturated than most other oils.
Without getting all technical, because O.O. has more monosaturated fats (single bonded fats) it's easier for the body to break them down.Birds

What oil do you recommend for a Hyundai Sonata ?
Just got an '07 Sonata today, and want to take as good care of it as possible to make it last the longest. As for future oil changes, what brand of oil should I go with? Hyundai does recommend Quaker State, but I heard that Pennzoil is also very good.What oil do you recommend for a Hyundai Sonata ?
If your are still under your factory warranty, you must change your oil every 3000 miles, or you will void your warranty. With Hyundai's extended powertrain warranty, give them no excuse to not honor any issues that may arise with your engine. As far as what oil to use, Quaker State would be fine. Your oil changes can be done anywhere, as long as you keep a receipt for your service records. Enjoy your Sonata!
Ricart AutoWhat oil do you recommend for a Hyundai Sonata ?
penzoil is good but i would go with moible clean 5000, i swear this stuff is great you can go 5000 miles between changes and its still preety cheap i paid 1195 for 5 quarts. when i changed the oil after 5000 miles it still was pretty clean as well not like alot of oils that if you go 5k on it will be blacker than the crude that it comes from. also use a quality filter as well like a bosch or k%26amp;n oil filter. bosch filter is like 5 buck and the k%26amp;n oil filter is like 12 bucks.
the best luck i've had with conventional oils is Castrol GTX. i get the best gas mileage out of it.
after that the mobile 5000 has been the best i've used.
if you are brilliant, and go to synthetic oils (longer life, better fuel economy), i've had the best luck with Castrol Syntec, followed by Quaker State Q power and Pennsoil platinum. i've had weird results from Amsoil and Royal Purple (they give great result at first that quickly drops off), little change with Mobile 1 (very little improvement in fuel economy) and negative results with Valvoline (fuel economy actually dropped vs conventional oil)
