I juss unwind it until it fits snugly. Had a bypass filter for 40,000 miles with no woes to date.

Well guys i thought i'll let you know my bypass filter experience so far with Ralphs Motor Guard. I change the element every 2,000 miles with a quart of Amsoil HDD 5w-30. I eventually changed the oil at 25,000 miles into and it came out pretty black?? The bypass filter does help but it didnt...

Hmm interesting. Anyone else can support this idea of adding 2-stroke TC-w oil to your gas tank??

Yeah i bought a Canton Accusump PrOiler kit for my van a few months ago but i never got around installing it.. i'm scared of messing up my bypass filter install and causing leaks again. Also i dont think it will benefit me much, as my car is driven all the time. Anyone wants one.. its up for...

Yeah i covered the grill, not the radiator. My engine, is also waaay overcooled most of the time.. in the winter months i dotn get good heat without it.

On my car i cut a peice of carpet and attached to the front. It works too.

Getting back on topic, wasn't SynLube the first to offer synthetics in the automobiles?? synlube.com [ November 09, 2004, 08:53 AM: Message edited by: rugerman1 ]

Hey guys, as you have or have not heard, my car got broken into. List of things stolen: Eclipse CD5444 Headunit (LOCKED) Rockford Fosgate BD1000.1 Amp Rockford Fosgate P3002 Amp Memphis Class AB MC150 Amp 2 Memphis PR124 Subwoofers in a double 12" BOX. I doubt i'll get any of these items...

That's still ALOT considering how dirty the engines were, and the oils were probably junk too. Interesting topic to debate, I would argue that becuase engines ran much cooler it is OK to use such thin oils. (a.k.a. no emissions, EGR, etc.). With the intoduction of these "features" forced engine...

You failed to tell us what kind of car you have, but i assume it is either a 2003 or 2001 Jetta/Golf TDI?

UPDATE** still havent installed the preoiler, as i the fittings on the oiler are NPT 1/2 and the fitting on the Perma-Cool is 3/8 FPT i guess, so i have no idea how this is gonna work.

heh

I dont know, i guess i need a way to measure how hot it's running.

Cool im excited i cant wait till my pump comes on monday. Hey guys whats a good place to buy fittings and such except online cus im not sure what i'll need until i get the thing and then ill know how much hosing, reducers, etc ill need.

I talked to the sales rep on this topic.. Yes you may use that port but it will take longer to build up pressure. With the 1/2 fitting he says pressure can build up within seconds, when u reduce the size it may take upto 25-30 sec to pressurize the system. Yes, pressure will be the same weather...
