Good info by Grebbler. I have the same experience with plugging tires over the years. Have plugged and patched tires with good success. I would like to reiterate a few points. Cut tires need to be replaced. Side wall wear or leaks should be replaced. Patching or plugging sidewalls is for...

Cutting it apart after oil change. Silly of course if you want to drive your car longer with an old oil filter with contaminants from the last oil change because the car manufactor allows you to do so you go ahead. Has anyone tested the oil both ways and compared the evidence that you don't need...

Good idea bu kinda messy?

P-1 is rated for 3000 miles from Purolator's tech dept. It is highly efficient and worth the money. I have seen Delco's fail but never had a problem with a Fram. But who cuts their filter apart after an oil change. May have if I left it on as long as some people do to prove a point. Ultra's...

Ok so the filter is rated at 99.9% @ 20 microns. Wonderful! 1)What happens to a filter medium which is more efficient and is used longer for collecting impurities. Rhetorical question,it may clog sooner. 2) The person on the other end of the line was a Purolator company technical...

Excellent filter and all synthetic medium unlike other high mileage filters. Less expensive also, Fram has a winner.

Maybe i should have explained. I called P-1 and was told by technical services the the P-1 is rated for 3000 miles. Good luck collecting under warranty if you have engine problems and were not following the filter rating Maximum. Get a good lawyer you'll need him.

Again why would anyone use an oil filter for more than the manufacturers warranty. P-1 is only warranted for 3000 miles. Lets spend the money for a high mileage filter. Each company spends considerable amount of time and money performing R&D on the filters. If the P-1 could last 10,000 miles...

Change the filter at 3000 miles or install the Fram Ultra or Mobil One or Bosch distance. The filter you are using is only rated for 3ooo miles according to over the phone with Puralator. Good filter just not rated for the mileage and see what happens to the numbers. Why would you not change...

Ok took my 2006 GMC Savannah into the dealer and much to my amazment it was not piston slap. The dealer found broken exhaust manifold bolts and replaced them and the problem is gone. It runs much better also and quieter. I did splurge and used a Mobil one filter and Pennzoil "P" and it starts...

Somebody told me it was piston slap so I assume it was. How do you resolve either problem?

Farm and Fleet has PP for $2.39 after a 5qt $10 rebate. Should it be 10w30 then.

How do you resolve carbon knock? Thanks for the info.

I have to change oil soon on my GMC 3500 and want to have the best product for this vehicle. It has been changed at 4000 mile intervals for the last 7 years with Mobil semi-synthetic. The company is now requiring us to change our oil at 6000 miles. I decide after the dealership changed oil...

I don't see the reason you would put on a oil filter not rated for longer mileage. The gamble is a $30000 car the best oil available and the a $5.00 filter change at 3000 miles. Its like a expensive gun with cheap ammo it does not make sense to me. The risk is to great. Oil filters are...

You should only buy a filter that is listed for the longer mileage. Using a filter that is beyond what it was intended is putting your engine at risk for a $5.00 filter. Purolator filters are rated for 3000K only and the local Farm and Fleet sell them for $2.50 each on sale. The...

I had a thrush aligned at the dealer. At the same time when purchasing cx-4's from Farm and Fleet. With in 10,000 miles the tires started cupping and all I got from the each is finger pointing. Won't use the tires or the dealership anymore.

My John deere tractors I use 0w40 synthetic. Start up esay without the compression problem in the cold. John Deere has good oil if you can find it or Mobil One.

Buy a Stihl. Then buy the best saw you can find for $300.

Oops!The Mobil One is 10w30 high mileage. The Park Ave had tranny slipage when hot and I added Lucas Tranny oil and it worked quite well. Cheaper than a new Tranny.
