    AC Delco at wall of china????

    I saw them the other day and picked one up for my Trailblazer. Now my Walmart carries ACDelco, Mopar, Motorcraft, Supertech, and FRAM. Air filters are still pure FRAM. I would like to see those FRAM cleanable filters.

    Laptop Check-In

    Funny you should ask us. I just bought an ASUS A7K-X2 laptop. 17" Screen AMD Turion 64 X2 TL-58 (1.9ghz) 2GB RAM Radeon HD2600 with 256MB DDR3 (this is why I bought it) I thought it was a steal at Newegg.com for $940. So far I am very pleased with it. Kind of big though. One of the most...

    Do they even make oil filters? I couldn't find any reference to them.

    Chevy Trailblazer OCI recommendations

    That doesn't seem fair beanoil. I get about 16mpg city and 19-20mpg hwy. I do make a concerted effort to lay off the accelerator. It's hard though since it has so much power compared to my previous 4 cylinders. I do like the PP ideas. I will probably go with either PP or Amsoil again. I am also...

    Chevy Trailblazer OCI recommendations

    My city commute is 5.5 miles each way. Fuel dilution problems with 7500/1yr OCI? It does get on the highway every now and then. Thanks

    Chevy Trailblazer OCI recommendations

    Sold my 02 Honda CRV. Now I have an 04 Chevy Trailblazer with the 4.2L I6. Trailblazer has 7 quart sump. It has the dummy light for the GM oil life monitor. I've heard that it takes a looong time for the light to come on. What OCI would you use if you used conventional/synthetic 5w-30 with...

    K&N Pre-Chargers Jackets

    Anyone know much about these? Looks like one more layer of protection. Any insight would be great. Thanks http://www.knfilters.com/wraps.htm

    Pentius PLB3600 Photos - Dissection!

    They aren't bad for the price that they are in. For $1.50, they are a great deal. I might even switch from FRAM.

    Changing oil brands at 160k

    I have two ambulances with 100k and 190K on them. We use whatever diesel oil we want. 15w-40 HDEO is 15w-40 HDEO. We only go about 6k between changes, so it probably doesn't matter. 2 cents

    Valvoline

    You can also get a free oil filter removal strap wrench from Valvoline with any 5qt purchase. Free offer details are at their web site. It's a cool looking wrench.

    Better to allow to idle, or shut down each....

    The wheelchair vans in my companies fleet shut down and start about 16-24 times a day six days a week. We hardly ever replace a starter on our vans. We also get about 300k-400k miles from the engines with about 10K mile OCI's on dino. They stay warm all day and average about 100 miles a day as...

    Pentius PLB3600 Photos - Dissection!

    Here's the pictures I promised. This is a Pentius PLB3600 oil filter. Seems very well made. Took me forever to cut it open with my Dremel. The canister is very thick. Check out the unique bypass valve. The plating is very even and there is a lot of it. Spiral tube with a nitrile ADBV. The...
