This is why I like fram extraguard. Gluing the fiber end caps to the filter media results in a solid bond.

Originally Posted by Bettez88 Let's be honest, can the extra guard be pushed past 10k miles? I know the mileage rating usually is just for warranty purposes. I'd be using them on clean engines only run on full synthetic from their first oil change. In a Honda Fit and a Corolla ya its capable...

I think when I say hate its in the context mostly of the "fiber" end caps. And maybe now that I think about it a bit its not so much on this site as its everywhere else. The fiber end caps actually make allot of sense to me. Not only do they keep the cost down but they should allow for good...

Lol

I realize there's lots of hate for Fram. But this video they did years ago really shows there's some decent testing going on. And I wish the other companies would put this much effort into showing customers what they do. I appreciate they made it. It's also strange there have been so few likes...

I know it's an old conversation but I wanted to see if anyone else ever got to the bottom of this. I have two Yamaha Grizzly ATVs calling for 10w40 JASO MA2 oil. I noticed Walmart had the 5w40 Rotella t6 full synthetic for like $5.75 per qt and thought I'd run it as it has the JASO MA2 on the...

Tiger You keep saying "nothing has changed except the oil". When you read the comments of people who are telling you about the potential variation of fuel at each fill up as well as the variation of temperature and humidity and what affect that can have on fuel economy do you think to yourself...

So I actually had the original muzzler for my 09 Odyssey. It worked great. But they really updated the VCM on this new Odyssey and I can barely tell when it's on. Also I now live in a more mountains area and it hardly gets to activate. I guess I just didn't Want to start messing with a brand new...

Like I said it makes sense to me as explained. Even the theory about higher Noack having some type of evaporative affect. And yes I do prefer to get my info from a scientific source that set out to uncover the issue. I appreciate you posting it over and over again. I just ran into one of your...

Just updated my esig. I'm running the 3.5 VCM v6 now DI in the Odyssey.

Talked to a guy from VP who really seemed to know his stuff. Said the SEF fuel they use is missing components / impurities found in passenger car fuel that don't typically bother the larger FI engines. He named the chemicals but I don't remember the names. Basically they formulate the fuel...

I've heard you say this a few times now. I was close to thinking I needed to change my oil more often but now I think I'm better off sticking with Honda's maintenance minded and any brand name synthetic.

I used to have a 2009 Honda Odyssey and enjoyed changing the oil myself. Back then I didn't know about BITOG website and hadn't been exposed to the Orange can of death talk so that's what I used with conventional oil usually Mobil Super or VWB for the full maintenance schedule typically 9 to 10k...
