dex VI in the ZF6 and 5w-30 synthetic motor oil in the transfer case.

Premium guard could easily stock WM shelf’s if WM wanted them to. Mobil and Wix already dropped M+H. last dollar i donated to M+H was when the gold can came out and i cut it up.

echo GW here, Carquest EP is the closest thing on the market currently.

produced by highline warren, not technically premium guard.

do not take anything from that video as factual evidence. the M1 is a nice filter produced by highline warren. 99%@30um. a better and cheaper option in’s the Carquest Premium line of filters. manufacturered by premium guard and 99.5% at 20um. Microgard select is the same. i would absolutely not...

absolutely want to change the filter on a 10L. they will plug up and then lose any movement.

drop the exhaust from both manifolds. very easy with a short socket, universal and long extension with an impact. usually soak them with blaster a day or so before the work. no way around letting the exhaust hang. good luck filling it as well.

we have 4 of them, seem to do alright until you start towing. they drink fuel and work hard. 100K mile warranty is hard to scoff at though.

understood but i based my pick off of their spec sheets and the recommendation from Dave at HPL.

per the official HPL data sheet. thinner at 40°C and a higher HTHS.

to reduce the realized cost of ownership. same reason manufacturers recommend extremely long maintenance intervals.

it’s the proper way to service a vehicle. it’s also free with the oil from AAP.

not a chance. i don’t ever change fluids without also changing filters. transmissions or engines (unless the transmission filter isn’t a serviceable unit of course).

anything under operating temp will see the 5w-40 thinner than a 10w-40. if is a 5.3L and 6l80. we have ~10 now with the 10speed and i don’t see them lasting. Chevrolet should have continued to refine the 6L series rather than try to increase gear counts.

2009 Ford E350 5.4L triton 68k miles in service 6k miles out/off: 5 quarts Valvoline Restore and Protect 5w-30 and 1 quart HPL Engine Cleaner 30 in/on: 6 quarts HPL 5w-40 with Carquest Extended Protection P85372 looks great and clean.
