Donot trust the dipstick level in all cases. I have 2008 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 CC with a 5.3L engine. I have owned several 5.3L's and I have always put in 6 quarts with a filter change just like the owners manual states. However, with this truck the dipstick reads full with only 5 quarts and...

Just use it for oil to put in oil cans for lubing door hinges etc.

I like to use them during the break-in on new engines. I think they will catch the smaller contaminates. After break-in I like Wix.

In a closet located in my pouting room (TV room). I put it on the floor, I thought the temperture would be more constant there. BTW, 66 quarts of Pennzoil Platium 5W-30 Plus 12 quarts of mobil 1 10W-30.

60 quarts of Pennzoil Platium 5W-30, 12 quarts of Mobil 1 5W-30, 6 quarts of pennzoil yellow bottle 10W-30.

Have any of you noticed this? I bought a 2008 Checrolet Silverado 1500 with a 5.3L engine. The owners manual states the oil capacity is 6 quarts with a filter change. I just changed the oil and filter and after completion and running the engine for a leak check I checked to oil level only to...

Just bought a new 2008 chevy silverado crew cab on their employ discount plus $5000.00 rebate. The build date was 12/2007. It has only 58 miles on the clock. Question is, since the truck is about 10 months old should I change oil and filter now or wait until the oil life monitor says to change...

The one made in Mexico smells like jalapeno peppers.

I have two Hyundai vehicles. A 2007 Azera with a 3.8L and a 2008 Santa Fe with a 3.3L. The oil filler caps say 5W-20. However, the owners manuals say you can use either 5W-20 or 5W-30. I use Pennzoil Platinum, and have a stash of the 5W-30. Do you members have any comments or suggestions about...

The main problem in the south is yankees coming down here thinking it is different, finding out it is, then trying to change it. 2rowdy You got that right

Something else I noticed is, this filter is large compared to most of what you see today. It is a cartridge type filter. so, that may have something to do with the size. Ragards, Westex

I bought a filter today. Talk about a well made filter. All the spacing of the pleats are perfect. It's made in Korea. It's the best looking filter I've seen in years. I haven't been able to find any spec's about how well it filters. If anyone here has any information I would appreciate you...
