    M1-110A filter cut open

    Another fine quality Mobil 1 filter. The quality control is really lacking. The pleats are glued in this way.

    I posted a little while back this same number and they were Champ. This batch appear to be Purolator. Also, the finish on these entire batch looks terrible.

    Doc's Diesel D5335 6.7l Cummins

    I rember people asking about Doc's Diesel. This is a D5335 off a '22 Ram 2500 6.7l Cummins. This thing doesn't look very great to me. I barely pulled on it and the media tore and end cap fell off. It's very brittle. Just a little squeeze and the it starts tearing. It is also very light...

    Another Premium Guard XL / Parts Plus / MicroGard

    This is off a 5.7l Hemi with 179k. About 5k on the interval with M1 FS0W40. These filters always look good. Haven't seen one with an issue yet. Getting pretty boring lol

    STP XL oil filters again

    I have mentioned before about the inconsistency of vendors supplying the STP XL filters from AutoZone. I just ordered six and they are a mix of the Vietnam MicroGard/others and what appears to be a CHAMP made E-Core filter. Unsure if this is bad or not I just prefer to know what I'm getting...

    Jeep / Dodge 4WD system question

    Can someone explain how these 4WD systems work? Command Trac part time 4wd - front axle is always engaged and front drive shaft spins. Does this mean the Transfer Case does all of the switching? - This seems like it has a lot of drag or wasted energy while in 2WD? 4wd with full time -...

    AM Replacement Catalytic Convertor options

    Looking for an expensive replacement convertor. The "y" pipe rusted away on the original and the noise is bothering me. I found these two on eBay. Assuming they are the same cost, which would you go with? The first picture looks like it uses a seperate y section, where the first looks like...

    Is 75w140 actually needed? Chrysler 8.25

    I have an '09 Jeep Liberty with 50k on the odo. It calls for 75w140 in the 8.25 rear differential. Is this actually needed? It seems like over kill on a smaller vehicle that does not see any extreme use or towing. I was wondering if dropping to a 75w90 would be a better option and possibly be...

    GM dealer installed smashed filter?

    Customer brought this in today because it is leaking oil everywhere. It looks like someone dropped the filter prior to installing it? This filter isn't really in an area where it could be hit by any debris. It's cracked where it is smashed. V6 Equinox

    Pre-Filling oil filters

    I didn't see this posted yet, if it has I apologize. Also, this may not be the correct forum for it, but I thought it was pretty interesting to see the actual oil pressure delay.

    It's crazy to me that a 37x13.50R20 fits on a stock Wrangler without rubbing.

    MicroGard Select MS10255 cut open. 5k

    Another MicroGard Select. I like these filters. The build quality is great. Everyone I have opened has been glued well, nothing bad to report. This was a pretty boring cut. Couldn't find anything good in the can or in the filter material. I guess that is a good thing.

    Fram 5w40 European

    I haven't seen this up here, and I know that a couple of people have asked about it. This is FRAM 5w40 European Dexos 2 part #F935 I guess its made by Amalie. The sample says SAE15w40 but it is actually 5w40. The form is very small and I guess my hand writing isn't that great lol
