I didn’t see in that post where the hd is referenced as having worse efficiency

Can anyone explain the differences between carquest premium filters? I looked up my truck (21’ ram 1500) in advanced website and they list 2. Same general part number however the higher priced offering has HD at the end.

A few months ago I read an article discussing motor oils and what has the “most protection” or something along those lines. I can’t find it now. Basically it was saying what oils provided the most protection and that 0w20’s are not great as compared to a 5w30. Any help finding this article is...

What makes that theory better? Having a 5 or 0w just means it’s thinner at colder temperatures. As soon as the oil heats up even slightly they’re the same. If anything wouldn’t that help during a first start? Thinner oil circulating faster?

Sorry I confused esp with afe (advanced fuel economy) in my head

in regards to 0w40, I see Mobil has the Fs version and the esp version. If I’m correct esp is mobils “fuel economy” oil and the fs is a full saps oil right? I see the HTHS is rather high for the esp but not listed for the fs but being a euro spec must be above 3.5. Is there one better than the...

Is that too thick?

yes roller. Unsure of spring pressure

What is the benefit of a euro oil?

Is the euro that much more superior to the other 3 variations of their normal PCMO? What would make it a better option? I see the other 3 “meet or exceed dexos” but the euro of course doesn’t show that as it’s not technically produced for that reason

I believe gm wants a 5w or 10w30. Wouldn’t going with a 40 weight potentially cause more wear?

What company is HPL? What makes the euro better?

I recently picked up a 2000 camaro ss with a gm 6.0 swapped in it. The engine is mostly stock with the exception of a cam and oem higher performing heads with springs. I’m going to be performing an oil change soon and was curious what you guys would recommend for the oil and filter. I’m tempted...

In the past the Fram ultra always seemed to be a top contender. I was reading an article where there was some skepticism regarding a “new” Fram ultra and how not so great it is compared to the old one. Is this true? Are they not so great anymore? What is the top 3 go to filters these days?

Diesel sorry
