If this was to me I know that Premium Guard makes the filter I was only stating that that Premium Guard and Prime Guard (Higjlinewarren) are not the same company. The filter names are so similar that some may get them confused.

That is basically what I was saying. They may be made by Premium Guard but HW doesn't own Premium Guard. I was stating that Prime Guard and Premium Guard are not the same in the sense that the filters may be made by the same company yet they are not owned by the same company. Premium Guard...

What I trying to state is that Highline warren does not own the Premium Guard filter brand. Prime Guard may be made by Premium Guard and Prime Guard is a Highlinewarren owned product it is not the owner of Premium Guard. The names are so similar that getting them confused could be very easy...

Are you confusing Premium Guard and Prime Guard? Premium Guard is the company that supplies filters under several names including Carquest ,NAPA, O'Reillys and others and are usually made in China or Vietnam. Several have been cut open and are liked by several here.

But there is a difference. Maybe not so much of whether this or that oil is better but what you are actually getting. The way it is now a company can pretty much label their oil any way they want as far as conventional, blend or synthetic. It is in some ways false advertising. You can have an...

Considering the acceptance of group 3 oils being considered synthetic that is hard to determine. However I would consider an oil that has less than 25% of group 3 or 5-10 percent poa to be conventional. We have been told on this board that the base oil means little in many situations and more...

Quaker State All Mileage 10w40 has it labeled as a conventional oil. While not a 5w30 as being discussed It nevertheless is labeled as a conventional. It is also rated as an API SN oil.

Supertech All Mileage says conventional on their labels.

It is possible to remove the oil filter and squirt oil into the oil outlet on the block. This would be a much easier option than taking things apart. I never said the weather was severe but working on a vehicle in rain or a wet or snow covered gravel driveway isn't fun. And if anyone has worked...

It was probably thicker than normal but it was also a 10w40 that had been in it for a few years. It was really dirty too.

I don't really want to mess with the distributor. It is 180 degrees off and I don't want to mess with it. It is also parked in the driveway and it has turned pretty cold here. I thought about removing one of the valve covers but theres stuff that you have to move and such and we have had rain...

I have thought about that but I want to try and make sure that it isn't getting oil because it is so hard to get to. I changed it several years ago because the old one was leaking and they are hard to get to and I am not as young as I used to be.

I have started it a few times and ran for a few minutes each time. That is one reason I am wondering about the oil. I would think if it isn't getting oil the lifters would have collapsed and be making a huge racket. However there may be a very low oil pressure just enough to keep the lifters...

Hey guys. I have a 93 D150 5.2 Magnum engine that hasn't been started in a few years. I got it running a couple of weeks ago and it isn't showing oil pressure and the light is on. I changed the oil and filter and still no pressure showing. The old filter and filter mount didn't look like any oil...

This isn't actually a TIPM but probably somewhat similar. It is a fuse/relay box under the hood. It does have an enclosed circuit board but I think it is more for connecting the relays and fuses that are in the box. The Body Control Module and the PCM have to be a match when buying used because...
