Endurance base plate pre cut: Amsoil base plate pre cut: 4 cut up filters:

Amsoil: 35 + crimp 1 3/4” width 31 3/4” length Sloppiest glue by far: Amsoil vs Fram. Fram on top: All 4 medias laid out but not stretched. Left to right: Amsoil, Endurance, Donaldson, Titanium: I’m going to cut the remaining two Ti & Donaldson filters to see if these two were...

Fram Endurance 37 + crimp 13/4” width 33 7/8” long Endurance vs Donaldson media. Fram on the right:

Continue Fram Ti: Forgot the precut base plate pic:

So I was curious about a couple different filters. Had heard good things about the Fram Titanium at AAP so picked up a couple 3614’s. Also grabbed a couple Donaldson P551132’s for the same application due to being a fan of their Synteq media from my power plant days. Before cutting anything I...

Think if they keep the benzene low they can still use it. Not the greatest blend though

With the E50 you’ll be burning cleaner so not an issue. I just filled up with non ethanol 92 a few minutes ago. On vacation in the Oregon coast & was surprised it’s available. Wife’s fusion already likes the extra point of octane up here (92 vs 91 in CA). Going to see how it likes non ethanol...

Never heard of "walnut shell blasting". Googled it... fer real??? I've heard of Seafoaming. But my I'm running VTA oil catch can with EGR delete, so, I shouldn't have carbon issues on the intake manifold. It’s still used. Did my wife’s fusion at about 105k with walnut shell blasting. The MS3/6...

@FatOldMan at that power level I’m taking it that you’ve removed the DI & installed MPI correct? I had an 06 MS6 several years ago. Was able to keep intake valves cleaner using Amsoil SS while others were doing walnut shell blasting every 40-45k mi or so. Are you still running pump gas or are...

Think he also runs a dual remote bypass setup & replaces a gallon of oil every filter change. Those phasers are sensitive to quality oil though.

996 is the first water cooled 911

Pretty sure I’ve cut open a 15k-51 that had the white champ labs media in it. When I get back from vacation I’m planning on picking up a Donaldson synthetic & Fram Titanium to cut open next to an Amsoil or Endurance for the same application.

Agree with this. Don’t forget to subtract about 10% for the TBN as Wear Check uses the D2896 for both VOA & UOA. D4739, that most other labs use, will read about 10% lower according to Wear Check.

I posted the email response in the UOA thread (as you've already responded to) but I haven't received the test results of the oxidation run yet. I'll be away from a computer for the next couple weeks (vacation :cool:) but can post the value from my phone when I receive the email of test...

Understand as well. Personally, I can deal with it as long as there's a constant trend I can pattern. I'm not one to push extended service intervals to the point that this oil would be depleted as far as TBN goes so (in my wife's car, this one, it looks as though the viscosity would give...

Response from Wear Check on D2896 vs D4739: “We find D2896 a lot more repeatable than D4739, and therefore more accurate. More importantly, I feel it is better comparing apples to apples. New oils are reported by D2896, and D4739 is statistically 10% lower. So, if you put a 10 BN oil (by...

I haven't either but can also say that I've never looked specifically for them either.

Clicking the link & then searching for all Fram Titanium filters, there's only one listed & it's out of stock: Bummer as Walmart is FAR more convenient to get to than AAP. I only ever go into Walmart for oil or filters anyway lol.

Huh, when I googled the Fram Titanium, Walmart was listed as selling them. That said, I didn't click the link to check either. From search:

Received an email back from Wear Check. They are running the oxidation test on the VOA so there is a baseline. They stated that their normal policy for a VOA is oxidation has to be requested but there is no additional charge for the test. The person I'm corresponding with wasn't sure about the...
