I would do a dump and fill clean out, like a few hundred miles. Who knows what the car has been through. How did the oil look when it came out the drain? It wasn't gloppy or anything? At least they sprang for a premium filter. That's a clue towards something positive.

Best New Years wishes to everyone.

I believe that if I were in the repossession business my trucks would have four wheel drive. Seems almost mandatory for that type of work.

You can get a cheaper version of those panel tools at Harbor Freight or even the Help section of autozone or Napa.

I would wait for the known good part to arrive. Historically, when I rush something, I end up doing it twice. In the future, use a scraping device softer than the substrate. I use plastic typically. These are fiberglass reinforced plastic...

Brickseek shows all Walmart stores around me stocked well in ST 0w-20. Which is good, I service a couple 0w-20 vehicles for friends. And I'm almost out of VME 0w-20.

I had my Snap-On dealer source me one. He found me a fantastic billet aluminum one, don't know the brand but it's cut dozens and is anodized red. I paid $20 per week for it. Wife none the wiser since I just kept paying the truck account.

Napa parts and filters are absolutely outstanding for a fleet operation. Very reliable.

My parts guy at work bought a few boxes of those Fleetguards. The small automotive applications are junky honestly. The anti drainback valves cut at the point that the filter element presses on them and sucks the inner part of the valve into the clean side. I showed them this and we promptly...

It's likely due to the higher levels of zinc and phosphorus, as illustrated HERE, WITH PQIA.

Also of note, the st6607 is to cover for the st7317. Same with STP at Autozone. So if you desire the 7317 size for your Honda or Nissan, you must get one of the three Fram's, a Mobil 1, or a K&N at Walmart or Autozone.

Rural King here carries Amsoil, including Signature Series, ATF and Motorcycle oil. Two stroke as well I believe. So who knows what the rules are.

Good deed, fellow Hoosier. ^

Creative. At the least.

Your maintenance program is similar to mine on my wife's older Santa Fe, 5k interval with synthetic oil and a good filter. Keep it up. That filter looks great. The OEM filters are swell units. Wife's is at 239k with no signs of slowing down. I've used both the OEM 3C100 filter and K&N...
