    Wanna see your Grandfather's Buick from the 50's?

    With those small windows all around the car.....lots of hanky panky and fooling around with the babes....for sure! Steamed up windows in the 1950's, were the norm for Friday and Saturday nights.

    What makes Fram Ultra spin-on filters better?

    Well, how thick are the dual layers compared to the single layered synthetic media? Maybe the dual layers are paper thin and the single layer is 3x the width of the synthetic media of higher quality?

    What makes Fram Ultra spin-on filters better?

    IMO....all Fram Spin on Filters are the Bee's Knee's. I'm currently running the Fram High Mileage, and have done so for the past few OCI's, with no problems to report. IMO....these filters have been very good for 8K+ miles.

    Is progress leaving anyone behind?

    The son sounds like one of the "Modern Day" Snowflakes or Fuzzy Wuzzy kids. I bet he never voted in the last election....and if he did......you know how it goes.

    Oil Filter Shelf Life

    Originally Posted By: Dyusik I can't see them going bad unless in very humid environment, since it is a blend media. The rust mentioned could be an indicator of exposure. If they are the wix XP, I'd scrape the rust (or not) and run them without a second thought. +1 we're talking about oil...

    Bosch Distance Plus: run it or cut it?

    Run it.....then cut it after a couple of OCI's.

    Fram or Mobil 1 or Honda Filter

    Check out the Fram HM on clearance at WM. IMO....just like the extra guard but with the HM additive in the can. I've been running these for 8K mile OCI's with a Filter Mag and have been doing a great job on keeping my oil clean.

    Chromebook

    I've had a HP Chromebook for 4 years now. Never a problem, runs cool, great for surfing the internet. IMO...great bang for the buck since it most likely has a SSD drive rather than a HD drive....very quiet.

    Red Line 0w-30 03 4Runner V8 160K 10K interval

    I still have about 8 quarts of Red Line 5wt, Racing Oil in my stash, compliments of a glitch on Amazon. I've used 4 quarts, in the past OCI's, to thin out some 15w50 M1, full synthetic. I ran a blend of 4 quarts of M1, 15w50 with 2 quarts of the Red Line 5wt in my Toyota 4Runner SR5 V6 for 9-10k...

    2000 Dodge Caravan won't start and no fuel pressure?

    Hey Rock.....How did you make out with your mechanic and the fuel pump, fuel system issue? Was it a corroded fuel pump or another issue with the fuel system? Let us know what they determined to be the problem and how they resolved the issue. Thanks.

    Red Line 0w-30 03 4Runner V8 160K 10K interval

    Nice report and looks like a great oil for your DD.

    2000 Dodge Caravan won't start and no fuel pressure?

    I add 1.25 ounces of TCW-3 to every 5 Gallons of gas at each fill up. IMO....this has helped keep the fuel system lubed and the cylinders clean especially with ethanol gasoline. If your interested....You can look at the Fuel Additive section to find out more about upper cylinder and fuel system...
