The OLM in my '06 HHR generally starts moving at a faster rate the closer to 0% it gets. I usually get bored with my oil around 20% and end up changing it.

I actually bought the TG at China-Mart.

I am of the opinion that almost any current motor oil will get the job done. I do believe that the filter quality whether oil or air can either allow the oil to run full cycle or leave one with dirty oil and excessive engine wear. If either filter has a quality glitch with out being noticed upon...

What is OCOD?

They make all three styles in this cartridge..Extra Guard, Tough Guard and Xtended Guard. I installed the TG with 6x more filtration, media is different color than the EG. http://www.framcatalog.com/Application.aspx?b=F

I installed the TG in my HHR which uses a cartridge type filter. The cartridge filers for this engine are essentially filter media with a plastic frame on either end so from what I can tell as long as the filter dimensions are correct for proper fitment I just want media that will trap and hold...

Fram TG oil filter claims 99% dirt trapping efficiency whereas the higher grade XG claims 97% dirt trapping efficiency. What does this mean in real world filtration. Is the XG a better overall filter? Of would I be better to stick with a TG for 5k oil changes? Mike

That's amazing, only using 61 gallons of fuel in 1708 miles.

OK some things just became clearer. The test performed by Southwest Research was done on FPPlus added to diesel fuel at a 1-5 treat rate. I always thought that test had been run on FP-60. OK I'm going to give Plus a run in my truck. Could an anti-gel be added to Plus if temperature were to drop...

Does FP-60 have anti-gelling properties or does the chemistry alone help reduce the gelling temp of diesel fuel. How cold will FP-60 take the cloud point of diesel?

Hummm, so kind-of a high end paint thinner in my tank. Copy that.

What are the pros and cons of stoddard solvents in a fuel additive? What would an additive with stoddard solvents do to E-10 fuel stored over time?

Why is fp-60 used in diesel and FP-Plus used in gas? Can FP-Plus be used in diesel fuel? If so would I use 1-10 rate or 1-5 rate? Thanks

Roger that.
