The blue one on the Tacoma came apart when I changed the oil this last time. The blue part that came off was in one piece at the bottom of my drain pan. This was the first run of VRP in the Tacoma, 3,000 miles and just shy of 5 months on that OCI. New on left, used on the right. These are...

That’s exactly what I ordered. Amazon link

I posted this in the other VRP thread. It shows some pretty impressive cleaning in just two oil changes. There’s more pics on the 6th page as well.

My L5P Duramax disagrees. It’s currently filled with Delvac Extreme 15w40. FWIW… 39,680 lbs is ~18,000 kg.

You could trade that truck in on a truck with the 7.2 kw Pro Power Onboard generator.

Amazon had them for about $550 for a while, they’re around $800 currently. My understanding is that they are being discontinued.
