this is why i refuse to run nitrile ADBV filters, rest of the filter looks great minus the ADBV.

wish we could band together for an E-core wire backed dual layered filter😂

seems like the premium guard XL’s are still the better move. liked the CQ premium better regardless.

ebay will side with the buyer 99% of the time and there are a few buyers that will take advantage of this. i sold a fully functioning motherboard (pulled from my system for an upgrade). the seller bent the pins trying to install an X99 intel processor (big chunky processors) then said it was...

TTX parts are the only front end components i will install when im doing freelance work. never had an issue with them and the prices are hard to beat. for my second job, everything is carquest premium due to lead time needs.

2008 E350 5.4L V8 82k miles in service 6k out/off: 5 quarts Valvoline EP HM 5w-30 and 1 quart HPL EC30 with Carquest Premium 85372 in/on: 6 quarts HPL PCEO 5w-40 with carquest premium 85372 filter looks great as always.

if something like my hondas takes 4.75 quarts, it gets a full 5 quarts. only time i do partial quarts is if it is a half quart like 7.5 etc. otherwise below .5 i round down, and above .5 i round up. never had an engine come back or blow up and i wish i could count how many oil changes i’ve done.

Fram Titanium FS10890 has a silicone ADBV and metal wire backed synthetic media. it’s the only filter i run on the 6.7’s i service. Thread 'Fram Titanium FS10890' https://bobistheoilguy.com/forums/threads/fram-titanium-fs10890.395932/

all of it is, comes through the softener before it gets up in the attic

as state, if the ADBV is working correctly it doesn’t matter how big the filter is after initial start. it’s a steady flow system, volume in=volume out as fluid is basically incompressible.

M1 0w-40 passes some serious approvals in some very high performance gasoline engines. porsche A40 comes to mind. for something that goes from idle to full load in mere seconds, i’d much rather that 0w-40 over some 15w-40.
