not to speak for him... but I would bet he blew the compressed air reverse of the pleats (blowing from the backside out...) I know, I know... that compressed air is not filtered... but heck... we're not dealing with a hospital ER ward either! Amsoil's newest line of air filters were...

wow amigo... thanks for joining... and posting pretty pictures even! Maybe you can field a few questions if this thread isn't played out yet.

here's my last UOA from November '09... in it is a link to previous UOA's if you want to see trends for long(er) OCI's in a GXP. http://www.bobistheoilguy.com/forums/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=1716269

I run 15k OCI's on my GXP using Amsoil 30w Diesel oil. Copper trends high in our cars... but the more miles that I drove, the lower the copper counts got. I am up to about 110,000 miles and after 5x oil analysis... I am not doing them anymore. The UOA's showed Amsoils' claims that a good...

Doug & Rizzo... good questions. I am not sure exact numbers, I'll talk to Avery and see if his cars' computer is clever enough to give us that data. His hybrid motor does see some less usage, and that was one of the reasons he had no qualms of running it out to 25k. Matter of fact, I'll send...

Howdy... I am posting this UOA that one of my regular customers sent to Blackstone. He has a fleet of about 4 Prius's, and runs them about 35k/year for his home healthcare business. He freaked his Priuschat forum out with running the oil that long... lots of "sky is falling" type comments. **...

Quote: I do find it very wierd that they (Amsoil) only recommend a 15k interval for a gasoline engine and up to 50k on a diesel. I would think a diesel motor and fuel would be a lot hardier/dirtier on oil. Does any reader happen to have an answer for this question?

Originally Posted By: FZ1 Running it too far. uh... ok. I guess be happy with your PP and M1 filter and 7.5k OCI's. Good combo that should serve you well in most any application. I guess I could tell you that you would be better off with some SuperFlo and a Fram on a 3k OCI... but what good...
