I searched PG part numbers that only had a basic filter mapped to a vehicle or filter cross on the PG website, and there are XC placeholders. I would assume that PG plans on expanding their catalog since they're making premium filters for the U.S. part houses.

They may not sell enough to warrant paying for the API donut license even if it meets a certain standard. You can always contact Mobil and ask. https://www.mobil.com/en/lubricants/for-personal-vehicles/our-products/products/mobil-1-supercar-0w-40

Companies that do their own maintenance on vehicle fleets don't have time to mess with a library of oil viscosities. They use what works across the board with what they run. People here would have a meltdown seeing me dump 15W-40 into an irrigation motor that clearly says 5W-30 on the oil cap...

Use a breaker bar or 1/2" impact wrench to tighten the snot out of it next time. That should alleviate your concerns.

The Wall Street Journal reported today that Shell is in early discussions to acquire BP. The WSJ piece is behind a paywall. https://www.reuters.com/business/energy/shell-early-talks-buy-bp-wsj-reports-2025-06-25/...

If you paid for the refrigerator with a major credit card, most will double manufacturer's warranties up to a year.

Modern digital radiographs expose patients to way less radiation than back when film was used. I guess I would rather my dentist have as much information as possible to help prevent small issues from becoming expensive restorations. My practitioner has a membership plan thing where the...

2004 GMC Sierra 2500 Fleetguard LF16102 filter 10qts John Deere Plus-50 II engine oil.

Lol, there's nothing wrong with bulk oil. Every now and again a thread pops up from someone all worried that it isn't the same as bottled, and their engine is going to blow up.

Bulk oil...ewwwww

There's no shame in using a quick lube place. Although, it's probably a good idea to know how to check things over before you leave the lot.

Check the owner's manual for specified octane. You're wasting your money paying extra for gas with an octane rating higher than what the manual calls for. If you really want to feel like you're doing anything for your vehicle at the pump, go to a TopTier station. Participating brands will have...

Dealerships know that they are competing with the parts houses on common stuff like filters and batteries, so go with them if they're the cheapest. All batteries sold in the U.S. are only made by a handful of manufacturers anyways. On the farm, we tend to have the fewest issues with batteries...
