The only voice of reason in the whole thread What was the material clogging the cooling nozzle??? More rubber or something else?? I can't help but wonder why the #6 rod bearing didn't suffer more damage if it wasn't getting enough oil??? If it had transferred material to the crank then yes, the...

I once had a 1998 Toyota Corolla 1.8l in my shop with a rod through the side of the block. 99,000 miles. Since there is little demand for used toyo engines, I quickly located one for 600$ with only 29k miles. Called the owner, an indian doctor and let him know I could install the engin with new...

No you dont get equal filtration. All those you mention let 10% more dirt through your engine

Originally Posted By: OneEyeJack In Fram's cross reference guide why do they only show the PH filters when you do a search? Do they not want you to find the upgraded versions of their filters? Their cross for a Mobil 1 M1-209 is a PH3600 when they make a cross for every grade of filter they...

Yep, what he said above. Honestly not even sure why the fram haters are so stuck. Seven out of the top ten selling cars sold in the USA left the factory with our filters. Why? because they take dirt out of the oil and isnt that what its supposed to do? Sometimes we wonder of sales would go up if...

That WIX combo valve leaks so bad the efficiency is barely measurable. The defect rate on Ecore filters is less than 8 parts per million.

Originally Posted By: stygz I got an oil change deal from AZ and it came with an S6607 oil filter. It seems smaller that previous filters I have used. In fact the S6607 is also the same filter for my 3.5 v6 Nissan. Is this filter any good for 7500 oci? My engine should be very clean in the...
