    Amsoil Oil Filter Update

    My hopes are they went to holes instead of louvers and a coil spring......glad to hear that Champion Labs has been resurrected.

    Is BITOG an oil site or a car site

    I would say it's generally an automotive chat group that occasionally veers into subjects of a more general narrative. It's always interesting and yes, informative.

    I tried to retire and failed

    I retired at age 70, I really liked my work and the people, but the stress caused by a management change caused enough stress because of their increased bureaucracy drove me out. A year later, I returned part-time as a consultant as 3 of us with a unique skillset were needed for compliance and i...

    Instant coffee? Yes/No?

    Interesting, but in my memory some of the best coffee I can remember was in diners that had that huge coffee brewer with the glass tube running up the front, but that was a while ago. At the hospital we had the large BUNN brewers with two carafes, have no idea what brand coffee but sure tasted...

    Instant coffee? Yes/No?

    Keurig for the win, once I found Barista Prima Italian Dark Roast, never looked back. A splash of half and half and a level teaspoon of real sugar and I'm good to go.

    Canadian Smoke

    It's really dense here in Central Pennsylvania, almost like fog. Really appreciative of my Hondas climate control system, the cabin filter is hopefully helping, AC on permanently and in recirculation as well.

    Jetson Quadcopter Racing

    Looking like helicopters, every hour in the air, 2-3 hours of maintenance on the ground.

    Amsoil Signature Series & GF-7

    Interesting, no "New & Improved" tagging, just updated specs, nicely and quietly done!

    Walmart oil prices - Ah!

    As a long-time Honda owner, I've found the OLM is merely an algorithm. The spoiler is low initial viscosity oils, direct injection, turbo charged small displacement engines and a lot of typically short trips. On my wife's 2020 Honda CRV EX-L 1.5t, using Mobil1 EP 0w-20, I took an oil sample at...

    New Purolator Gold 20K Mile Oil Filter Consensus?

    After the recent debacle, I'm not very confident using anything associated with Mann-Hummel.

    Walmart oil prices - Ah!

    Unfortunately I won't be going back to the DIY group, at 78 and some physical and logistics (live in a townhouse, no garage)problems. i still hand deliver my oil & filter to my Technician at my dealership. I do still change intake and cabin filters, and check and adjust tire pressures...

    Walmart oil prices - Ah!

    Just checked my local Walmart, the Mobil 1 Extended Performance 0w20 went from $29.97 to $34.97, it's a shame but I switched to Amsoil Signature, and they went up too. It will be interesting to see if, when oil prices drop and stabilize, the price will drop.....probably not 😠

    Amsoil Signature Series & GF-7

    I think the key here is yes, Signature meets (and most likely exceeds) all API and ILSAC standards and no, they won't pay to have the " Magic Donut" as part of the marketing. When it's reccomended and used personally by my Honda Master-Certified Technician and used during my regular service at...

    Amsoil Signature Series & GF-7

    Well, I guess I'll have to wait, I have enough Signature 0w20 for three oil changes so it will be next year before I need more. I'm fairly confident that the current formation will work well enough to get our 2 Hondas thru until the latest formation comes available. Hopefully they will also have...
