What is the best oil to use in a car that burns it?
I have a 1996 Saturn SC with 136,000 miles that burns about a quart of oil every 400 – 500 miles. I use the car to deliver newspapers in and I drive approx 700 miles a week. When I got my oil changed last time the tech. recommended a synthetic oil and said that it should help slow down the burn. IT DIDN'T!. What is the best grade to go with in my situation?
well the mechanic you talked to probally screwed you cause synthetic oil is great on new engines that has only 1 oil change yours however has old oil in the metals and are not to mixed and the synthetic will eat the old deposits that the old engine uses to its advantage to run now, another words your engine adapts to the old deposits to seal things that are worn out like where your valves seat,etc..you can go with a heay oil 10 40w but to hevy and use lucas oil treatment, you really need to rering her and freshen the bottom end!!!
What can I use to help heal chemical burns and get rid of itching?
I have, what I think is, chemical burns on my arms. I won't be able to see the doctor for a couple of weeks. What is the best over the counter remedy to help speed the healing process and get rid of the itching?
If you have and no doubt would have and what they have recommended isn't good enough, then;
After my skin grafts took, I wore pressure bandages for roughly a year to stop the growing scar tissue. And just to keep it compressed and not blown out.
Even the new vitamin 'E' cream (of course if it is indeed) that's perfect
Best of luck my friend.
What are the visual distinctions between thermal burns and frostbite?
Is it possible to definitively distinguish the two from each other in all cases, or do they present identically in many cases? In other words, are frostbite injuries-for all intents and purposes, actual burns and if they are not, in what ways do they differ?
Early frostbite and minor burns may resemble one another visually (by whitened, blanched looking skin, and blister formation). However, last stage frostbite and thermal (heat) burns are very different.
In late stage frostbite, the affected extremity (usually hands and feet, noses, and lips) are cold, firm and lack sensation. As the ice crystals in the cells melt and the ruptured cells pour out their contents, then blisters may form. Since the affected area has basically lost circulation, gangrene sets in rather quickly and the tissue turns black and dry.
Deep (full thickness) heat related burns are surrounded by areas of erythema (reddened skin) and skin with less degrees of burning (there is gradation in the tissue damage). Also, eschar is obviously charred skin tissue forming a scab like structure, and looks nothing like gangrene. The wound bed in a burn leaks plasma constantly, as complete thermal injury can take days to fully manifest. Blistering is pretty immediate with heat related burns of a sufficient degree. Also, in heat burns, proteins are coagulated, something that doesn't happen with cold injuries.
Histologically, under a microscope, the cellular damage from heat looks very different than that of cold (due to the ice crystal formation).
Both frostbite and heat related burns are thermal (temperature) related injuries. Treatment is similar in both cases, with the primary focus of severe cold or heat burns being the prevention of secondary infection, preservation of unaffected tissue, and maintenance of fluid and electrolyte balances. Surgical intervention of severe thermal injuries includes amputation (debriedment/excision) of dead tissue, and possible skin grafting when appropriate.
how do I get rid of cigarette burns in carpet?
My husband and I live in a rented apartment and our lease in almost up, and we are moving, we have numerous cigarette burns in our carpet, is there anyway to fix this or make it not as noticable?
no offense, but Jennifer's answer will never work. the only choice is to replace the carpet. I wouldn't expect to get your deposit back and would not be surprised it you got an additional bill to pay for the labor. If I were you i would pay to have the carpet replaced yourself with MATCHING carpet & I would have it done before you move. This way you cna find the best deal and get it done cheap & get your deposit back to pay for it.
My house is -No PETS – and the people who lived here before us had a dog, & the landlord kept their deposit PLUS they had to pay the replacement bill. I guess it was over $1500 to replace all the carpeting. So your the best bet would be for you to redo the carpet yourself.
how to avoid burns on the hands while cook with hot chili pepper?
Recently cooked with red hot chili peppers afterward my hands start to feel hot and it burns. Even after i wash my hands with soaps many times, it doesn't work. It's there a way to cook with hot peppers and avoid hands being burns afterward???
I know everyone says gloves, and yes that works fine. But who has rubber gloves always on hand or wants to put them on just to chop up a quick hot pepper to put in the dish.
I have worked out a way to do the pepper without coming in contact with the bad parts.
The heat is in the seeds and the white membrane parts inside.
So if you don't touch those parts you're OK.
Cut the pepper in half lengthwise. Hold it on the outside only. Use a small spoon and scoop out the insides (seeds and membranes). Or for a small pepper, hold with tongs. Place it on your board and chop without touching it.
Wash off the board and knife without touching them. Use lots of soap.
Works every time.
If the vapors in the air bother you (or family), take it outside to perform the same procedure. Then put it in a glass of water when you take it back into the house.
What chemical catches on fire or burns when in contact with a living organism?
It looks like sugar in its solid form, and when you get it in contact with a living organism in it's liquid form, after you heat it up, it burns, or catches on fire. Like if you put a popsicle stick in a glass vial of its liquid form, it would catch on fire.
Pure sodium would not look like sugar. I am thinking maybe you saw a demonstration with potassium chlorate. Potassium chlorate is a white, crystalline solid that looks like sugar. In a common experiment, potassium chlorate is melted in a flame. Once melted, some form of carbon (usually sugar based) is thrown into the test tube and flames shoot out.
I've included a link to a video.

How do you tell the difference between chemical burns, and burns from fire?
Please don't spare on gross words i would like to know everything there is to burns.
Flame induced burns are caused by the heat destroying your bodily tissue. Chemical burns result from the chemicals reacting with your flesh in ways that either dissovle parts of you, digest you, or react and destroy bonds in the moleclues that hold you together. The nice part about burns is that they can all be categorized together as the various means of destroying your tissue in the exact ways that no one enjoys. I hope that helps though I lacked on gross words. ….can i get extra points for adding in Ooze, puss, slime, boils, and fecal matter? You get the "Ooze, puss, slime, and boils" part fromt he burns, and then "fecal matter" when you realize whats happened.
How can you get cigarette burns out of rolled out linoleum flooring?
or at least cammoflauge them not to be so noticeable? The flooring we have is black with specks of white and if the lights hits it a certain way you see the cigarette burns.
Depending on how large an area was damaged, you may not be able to do anything. But if it is a small spot, you can possibly, carefully, shave down that uneven area, and coat it with clear polyurethane or even dab a bit of clear nail polish on it. If this is indeed an expensive floor, a professional could come and cut the area out, and replace it with the same flooring. Don't attempt that yourself. If you aren't satisfied with a pro's job, you don't pay for it, but if you screw it up yourself, you'll feel even worse than looking at the original marks.
How do you fix cigarette burns in carpet?
Okay So I've lived in my apartment for 2 years now and I'm thinking of moving. They installed new carpet before I moved in and now there is 3 cigarrete burns in the carpet and I would like to get my deposit back. Is there any kit or something you can do to fix it?
I had a cigarette burn in my old apartment carpet because I allowed a guest to smoke. So this is what I did to get my deposit back. I went to a closet and snipped up peices of the carpet fibers in the corner so it would be notice. Just the fibers, not the carpet totally. Where the cigarette burn was I carefully cut the burnt part off the carpet fibers without leaving a bald spot. Next I used fabric glue (you can buy this at a craft shop, the kind you can make invisible hems with or just cloth craft glue) I put a couple of drops in the area I just took the burnt part up. I then carefully took the fibers and placed them on the spot and let them dry.
Be careful the thicker the carpet, the more work you will have to do to make it look like part of the carpet.
How can I get rid of cigarette burns in my car's upholstery?
I've been driving a 2001 Mitsubishi Galant and it's about time to sell it but before i did that I wanted to get rid of the cigarette burns in my car. They are mostly on the inside of driver's side door. The upholstery is made of some type of cloth (Pretty standard type I guess). The burns are right around the handle and I'd like some help on this matter if anyone can. Thanks.
Use a propane torch to soften the plastic, then mold it into shape. Get your mother to sew something to cover it up. Mothers are helpful sometimes
