my vote is for purolator based on the brands they carry

Been a Fram guy for a while and last OC I switched both cars over to O'Reilley's Microguard filters. Planning on going with Premium guard or Advanced Auto Carquest Premium filters next OC.

MGL57356 - Microguard MSL57356 - Microguard Select

local walmart has them shipping - unavailable, pickup nearby, delivery - out of stock. I've switched over to the O'Reilley's MicroGuard filters. Been running the PH/TG7317 for years.

I take our corolla on a highway run after an OC and then re-tighten the drain plug. The heat from the oil pan causes the adheseive to degrade, awful design. Luckily I just need to run it up on ramps to get under it.

What I use for our Honda, seems to be in stock locally here. To others points, maybe this is a good thing. I've been using the PH7317 for 10 years and this next OCI I've purchased O'Reilley MicroGuard filters. May just run with them or the Carquest filters going forward.

Our '14 CR-V has been burning about a quart of oil per OC for the last I don't know how many years. Getting ready to change after my first Valvoline fill run, we'll see if it's any different. Been using Pennzoil platinum and other major full syn brands since we purchased in '13.

I see rounding... replace (y)

plan to switch to their premium filter, EP is overkill for my application

marketing documentation explicitly reads that it's great for battery terminals

used the multi-max with the smart straw a couple days ago, believe I wasted a lot less oil and the dam door is quiet as a church mouse while operating, hats off to B'laster

Go Bobcats! I started using Valvoline Restore and Protect about a month ago in our '14 CR-V. Added 5 oz SeaFoam motor treatment to the crank case 300 mi before the change to clean it out. We'll see what it looks like at the next change.

The Bauer 1/2 impact wrench stripped the mechanic torqued lugs off our vehicle with minimal effort. I purchased the 3/8" model for lighter jobs.

5Q Valvoline Restore and Protect 0W-20 Wix 57356XP 2 cans Seafoam HiMi gonna dump 6OZ in the crank case, run 'er for 300 mi and change

'14 CR-V with about 145K, been doing 5K OCIs since I drove it off the lot, mostly Pennzoil platinum with some other higher end syns now and then. Been using Pennzoil Platinum High Mileage since about 80K. MM just hit 20%. Will top off the oil (burns off about a q per OCI), add 4.5 oz SeaFoam...

The pinch welds are for the emergency jack in the trunk. On my CR-V are the towhook on the rear and a spot near front center of the engine compartment are the lift points I use for floor jacks. . You absolutely can put your jack stands under the pinch welds, just don't use a floor jack to lift...

been using a Phram PH filter for 6 years now, seems fine, 5K OCIs. Bought a Wix for the next OC and after combing these threads I'm optimistically terrified...

changed the corolla oil on June 2nd. On a whim decided to check the plug yesterday evening and lo and behold, it needed a decent amount of tightening. These are aftermarket washers and it seems that the heat from the oil pan degrades the felt/adhesive possibly leading to the bolt loosening...

I have that same engine on a Toro 20378 (2020). I replaced the stock plug with NGK 3481 DCPR6E

ran a cub cadet snow thrower on a torch plug for a couple years then switched over to NGK. Second time I came across one I replaced it immediately.
