Originally Posted By: JTK I cut open the factory (oversized) Kohler filter after the initial OCI on my Courage Pro 20 twin. It's a decent filter, nothing special. Consistant looking media cartridge.

I have a 2006 6.0 PSD with 76,000 miles on it. (not 1 problem) I run Shell 5w-40 in the winter and Amsoil 15w-40 in the summer. I run an Amsoil bybass. I believe anything past 5,000 miles on conventional oil is asking for trouble! The injector (oil side) has pretty tight tolerences and the...

Did it fit OK? Being a good BITOG'er I have several filters that will still work! Come to think of it, the FL-400s filter fits our 2008 Ford Edge engine too. I have some black NAPA and Amsoil filters I can use. Whould look better than the white filter.

I have a briggs and stratton v-twin that will take the Motorcraft FL-400s filter. What oversize filter fits on a Kohler 23HP v-twin zero turn mower? Used search, came up with nothing. Thanks in advance, and have a great memorial weekend!

Originally Posted By: bmwtechguy I've read somewhere that if the spec existed, then the AME would more or less flow like a 7W-40 or 8W-40, but is still labeled a 15W-40 for familiarity and marketing reasons. Thank you!! It looks like I'll be fine for winter then!!

I owned a 2005 LS with the V-8. I loved that car!! Sold it to buy a POS Explorer for my growing family. We have 2 children in car seats and the back seat of the Lincoln wasn't getting it done for the wife. The winter traction is awful too. Looking back, I should have kept the Lincoln, and bought...

I have a Volvo Penta 5.7l fuel injected 300HP with the duo props on my 2006 23.5' runabout. What is your water temperature? Shouldn't be higher than 175* Sounds like it is running too hot. I've run Mobil 1 15W-50 for 7 years (2 different boats, first one was 4.3l 230HP fuel injected). I...

Lead seems high. I had been using the Schaeffer's 9000 5W-40 in my 2006 6.0l Powerstroke for about 30,000 miles. My lead started creeping up after every oil change/analysis. I switched to Amsoil 15W-40 AME and the lead instantly went down. I did another change after 7,000 miles (I know too...
