So PG is the new FRAM basically. Find whatever flavor of PGI filter in the appropriate media and mock anyone who doesn't have one. Got it captain.

Is RP just dropping their oil filters slowly?

I mean they deserved it for the shady practices of always changing their filters and obviously the behind the scenes stuff. But they were absolutely unbeaten when it came to price to performance. The top tier filters on the market they made were half the price of half the other top tier filters...

Yeah I was one to always stick to whatever flavor of the month Fram was spinning around since they started changing their filters every other month. I feel like a baby again looking for a new oil filter after not having any Frams.

Thanks doing it now. Haven't been as active on the forum for a while need to get back into it.

What do you think of the aforementioned Carquest EP?

I mean driving a hybrid and wanting the engine to last a very very long time I think it warrants being neurotic with the oil filter. I know it shouldn't really matter but I'm switching to HPL oil so spending a bit more money on an oil filter is warranted I think to make sure it's 100% synthetic...

Care to explain how I didn't find this thing in the last like week of research? I love just completely missing obvious things. I guess I probably found my next oil filter and I appreciate you lol

Yep I loved the endurance filter. I sadly only have the titanium filter that is on my car now that is I believe a blend. I wish I knew and was able to just buy like 50 endurance filters before they decided to commit corporate suicide.

I want to switch to 100% synthetic oil filters but it seems like atleast for my application they are entirely gone. Royal Purple doesn't seem to make one for my application which is a 2020 Camry but nobody else really seems to make them now. Obviously Amsoil was a large contributor but since...

I didn't say high RPM. I said high throttle. In a manual transmission you go towards your torque or power band depending on the engine generally or somewhere roughly lower RPM and higher throttle generally 80-90% to get to speed quickly. Then reducing to either killing the engine or as low of...

I may, but I thought they did the hypermiling technique of being at roughly 80-90% throttle under load

Newer Toyota's automatically run at high throttle which is more efficient on gas mileage, they just use any extra throttle that isn't being used to speed up the car to charge the battery. Same thing I did to get 80+ MPG in my gutted out Saturn years ago.

To be fair these hybrid's operate at high throttle 24/7 so the load isn't tiny. It's been a multi year long debate with this car to do cheaper oil like Valvoline Restore and Protect for 2500-3K miles or 5000-7500 with HPL

Yeah it's still hard to beat short intervals with a sub 30 dollar oil... I appreciate the info
