Illinois, Ohio, Pennsylvania turnpike is like government extortion. Interstate throughways and city bypasses should have been mandated from the being to be free of tolls.

You may someday find you own $$$ and regret failure to pay.

Old saying, what was wired now wireless (phones), and what was wireless is now wired (tv). Another one, call the person not the place. Even so, wired phones can be line powered and more reliable. I gave mine landline up first due to cost, went to much cheaperVOIP, then gave it up once...

My John Deere 170 manual says after cleaning to use motor oil on the pre-filter, approximately 1 oz. I used some K&N filter oil I had and put drops all over and wearing a glove squeezed the foam to work the oil around for even coverage. I'm sure the paper filter will absorb some oil but minor...

I am trying to identify the source of noise and slight vibration felt through floor driver and passenger sides, that occurs loudest between 35-60 mph. Vehicle is 98 Sienna. Front wheel bearings replaced 3 years ago, TRW, rear ones last year 2000 miles ago. Tires new 3 years ago. Carrier bearing...

Poor looking filter IMO. Strange this same filter model and manufacturing plant, used for similar miles in 06 Civic can look so different. My past filters though were 2010 or earlier date codes, and used over a longer periods (short trips) had relatively straight pleats.

I would only trust real world data here and not assume loading is the main factor in play during the interval. These tests that use various materials to simulate oil contamination provide limited insight. Plus Toyota and Honda specified oil filters gives credibility that extreme efficiency is...

Since you have access to a variety of filters you might want to look at the known problem part numbers, if available to you. I am one that have used the top 2 problem model PureOnes over for over 8 years. In my Toyota the 10241's clearly show media breakdown in the typical location. My Honda use...

Clear to me the Denso has the better design and manufacturing quality. That plus Purolator on my Toyota a proven fail.

Here is the best oil filter overview of performance factors I have come across. Anatomy of an Oil Filter With the very low temperatures this last week I also feel this likely applies to the multiple PL10241 fatigue cracks (in the wide spaces pleats) I have experienced. " Cold Oil and High...

This filter model had one reported failure, not one of the real problem models. Based on my experience with multiple PL10241's, I would be checking these. I no longer use the 10241 in my vehicles.
