Yeah which is why i pass on it until i see a product data sheet. Pretty sure it may work fine but i cant just flush in new CVT fluid without knowing its compatible with the OEM im replacing. Its not so critical for to replace it now since the vehicle is roughly 38000 miles new. Its just in...

I asked her if she knows what OEM specifications their CVT fluid meets since the website is lacking that information because the current PDF product sheet does not have any information at their web store. I originally was gonna order 12 quarts of it to replace the Honda HCF2 thats in the family...

I called in to Mary Jane earlier this morning and got a custom mix quantity order in, although i did ask her some questions about their CVT fluids since the website lacked an updated data sheet which unfortunately i had to pass on since she doesnt handle technical questions about oil...

Get yourself a pair of ramps, basic tools such as a socket set, ratchet, torque wrench, shop rags and drain pan. If you're young enough with some free time on the weekends it shouldn't take any more than 30 minutes to change your own oil. While the initial investment cost of these tools will...

The shifting between gears during driving is much more smoother and the subtle shift jerking is pretty much gone. As for driving in general, I did notice a slight improvement in acceleration. Its really hard to gauge MPG improvements but overall the car feels better. The original ATF had over...

That white marking in the enter on top of the bypass valve assembly is just a Q.A. marking that Donaldson does to all of their filters. Here is one example on another Donaldson filter I got long ago.

Overpriced oils Overpriced filters Ghost town stores No walk in discounts incentives Kinda sad because some folks that work at the local AAP store are pretty cool car people but can't say for other stores where they have store employees who are absolutely clueless about automotive in general. I...

Currently HPL HD5W40CK on Toyota 2011 Yaris HPL PC5W30 on Subaru 2022 WRX - going to move it to HPL PC5W40SC once my inventory of 5W-30 oil dries up. On family and friends vehicles I usually dump a quart of HPL EC30 with their choice of 5 quarts motor oil they get locally.

Did a pan drop yesterday. Out came out 4 quarts dark red Toyota WS factory fill and the OEM Filtran strainer. Back went in a Duralast ATF filter and filled her with 4 quarts of HPL ATF Green. Car feels much more smoother shifting and accelerating.

I did a VRP with HPL EC30 on a friends KIA that was consuming lots of oil, it took around 3000 miles to show progress of improvements until it completely stop eating oil. I would try adding a quart of EC30 with VRP to see that combo works for you as well within a full interval. Just swap...

Lol thats my friend hands in the photo who owns the KIA, not mine. Im the one who now services her car, before then the car had a steady diet of quicklubes for the majority of the vehicle ownership.

6 quarts of HPL ATF Green for my new 2011 Yaris. 4 magnetic drain plugs from HPS, grabbed them directly at their Irwindale warehouse on the way home from work.

Microgard Select. Slightly better made than chinese PG filters.

Its been one month and 3861 miles since the last dipstick check. The oil level hasnt gone down. We conclude oil consumption problem on the 2013 KIA Rio to be solved with the VRP plus HPL EC30 combo an absolute success. Will be changing the oil next month.

Third filter is a Purolator Boss PBL20195, was used as a flush filter on the Yaris for 2 rounds of BG EPR for 30 minutes each, total of 1 hour of engine flush time. This tells me the car was well maintained by the previous owner as I found very little carbon chunks in the filter and how clean...

Second filter is a Jobber Parts Plus PH2840 that came out of the recently purchased 2011 Yaris, pulled it out immediately after driving home from the dealership. Probably the best looking jobber filter I've seen so far from my own two eyes, made in China, by Premium Guard.

Had a hodgepodge of filters laying around so I thought finding the time to cut them all open at once. I'll start with the Subaru WRX oil filter thats from Tokyo Roki. This one was in service for over 5500 miles with the vehicle just shy of 35,000 miles. This thing spilled oil all over, the ADBV...

Yep these always makes the centerfold. Too good to look at.
