You give reasons why you like certain filters in your application, but then you say ecores are just too much risk. Is that a blanket statement or not? I agree with whatever makes you feel good.

This came up before not too long ago. Mobil says it still meets the spec they just stop putting it on the bottles.

Mobil considers the new super hm a 5,000 mile oil.

I'm not a huge bp fan, but Ive seen the castrol 10w30 gtx hm stop a leak in my car very quickly (few days). I have never tried any other hm oils, so I have nothing to compare it to. I have the castrol hm in now and m1 hm waiting in the basement.

The wavy media just looks like they have such deep pleats that aren't supported very well. When the oil starts flowing the pleats sandwich and flow with the oil.

I agree with bigmike. The measurements of can thickness aren't fact. You could be measuring a rolled edge from cutting it open or the thick paint. If you argue this point about being thin, there is no way you have ever cut one open. I'm not saying it effects anything but it's not as stout as...

The p1 for my car is the PL14670.

I would think people on a site like this would try to get the very best they could. But so many are out to see how cheap they can buy their oil products. I'm all about deals if it is on something I want, but I don't buy stuff just because it's a good deal. I like red line oils. They are...

My favorite filters are royal purple/ toyota's trd, m1, and wix/napa gold.

That's the thing it's not just one filter. I've used pureones on different vehicles. I'm not saying the filter doesnt do it's job. I'm saying what my eyes keep seeing and saw again tonite just really turns me off to them. I would try a cartridge version in a Toyota. No flaky paint, thin can, or...

I haven't liked p1 really ever. They have a coating that's flaky. The thinnest can of any filter. They dent super easy. Their efficiency rating is a blanket statement based on one filter. Dome end by passes. If you can have a filter that the media comes out looking like it did when it went in...

I've been stockpiling filters to cut open later. Well later was tonight. I have summit's oil filter cutting tool which I used to compare royal purple, ac delco (ecore), m1, and p1 filters. The cutting edge on the tool cut through the p1 can scary easy and the p1 filter media was extremely wavy...

I always hear of people fearing long term damage from the seal swellers/ conditioners in hm oils, but I've never seen proof of damage or heard someone complain of damage. I've see castrol gtx hm stop a leak in my car. It's not DOT 3 brake fluid. Lucas is a heavy oil with no additives. I've...

What are the differences when used in a gas turbo flat tappet engine? What are the differences between T5 and T6 besides weight and one is a snythetic and one is a blend?

I've never tried maxlife, but I know castrol hm 10w30 will completely stop leaks 100% in my vehicle. It also acted very quickly within a few trips around town. All this said I'm not a big castrol fan.

The turbo oil return line is dry. The oil is coming from the aluminum side, the driver's side, of the turbo. I really cant tell where the oil is coming from, that whole side is wet.

I emailed Dave at RL. Based on everything, he recommended 5w30. I have 0w30 in there now that I'm going to run to 12,000 miles (over half way there) and get another UOA. I'm looking to see if you can tell a difference in the UOA between the RP oil filter and the Wix that's on there now. I'll...

I like to see the longer runs too. Not a big fan of all the 5,000 or less oci's using good oils on the board.
