If it was me, I would drive across the country with her, and fly back. If you have to ship some stuff, so be it. NO WAY I'd let her drive alone.

They can keep their filters. I used to use them. I don't like their BPV design. My oil pressure light used to flicker on startup with them. Now it's Fram TG's...FTW! Oil pressure light goes off quick, and dosn't flicker at all.

I'm waiting for the BITOG "expert" to chime in with his "you can triple your OCI!!!" comment.

Originally Posted By: fdcg27 Yeah, why pay any attention to a guy who's made an avocation of studying masses of UOAs, applying statistiscal analysis to them and then putting into practice what he's learned, while proving his hypothesis? We should go by our guts instead. I prefer to follow my...
