Yep, the oddball though is that he said the ST was the same ~$18 as the others. Not sure if he’s mistaken but clearly not the case in my area… No reason to buy it over M1.

Oil filters also got reorganized, no sign of the new 20k Purolator interestingly...

Oil section got a reset recently. A few new items including: ESP 5w-30: Interestingly, same price as the 0w-30 flavor: SuperTech 0w-40 now in stock for both 5qt and 1qt containers: Pricier than the other full-synth varieties of ST and only ~1$ cheaper than M1 0w-40.

Fram’s part finder will only list the OE equivalent model, which is the 8170. The 3614 is just a longer version, the 3600 longer yet. Most run the 3614 as a bigger filter will hold slightly more oil and provide a larger filtering surface. It also gives you a bunch more manufactures to choose...

Not aluminum anyways… :ROFLMAO: Now that I think more about it, the pistons are hypereutectic aluminum as well.

Lower intake manifold is aluminum, the rest of the engine is cast iron.

A visual:

I can burn it and report back. Refresh my memory, white smoke is silicon, black smoke is nitrile rubber correct?

2014 Subaru Outback in signature. In use for 3,232 miles, ~10 months. Old: 5 quarts M1 0w-40, Subaru 15208AA20A (Made in Indonesia) New: 5 quarts Valvoline R&P 5w-30, Carquest Premium 84712 Everything looked great, no issues.

2013 Chevrolet Equinox in signature. In use for 3,060 miles, ~10 months. Old: 6 quarts M1 0w-40, Fram FE10575 New: 6 quarts Valvoline R&P 5w-30, Carquest Premium 84502 Leaf spring had the appearance of ripples but it was perfectly smooth to the touch.

My Outback approves this statement. I removed the factory muffler and front pipe and went with a aftermarket option. I agree though, I hate the sound of aftermarket exhaust on inline 4's. The boxer's unique exhaust note is the only reason I did it.

What type of mower and engine is this? What oil are you using in it?

Yep, very cool engines. https://www.curbsideclassic.com/automotive-histories/automotive-history-the-chevrolet-lt5-5-7-dohc-v8-a-british-heart-for-an-american-icon/ https://www.corvettemuseum.org/lt5-engine/

A Yamaha-designed, Toyota-manufactured Japanese engine in a Pontiac Vibe... That's a wild pedigree 😲 Cool engine though, never knew about it till now.

Its...fine I suppose. Nothing special. Sure as heck wouldn't run it for 20k though. Thanks for the c&p!

I have a few wired ones but also this one: https://us.bluedriver.com/pages/bluedriver No subscription stuff, just buy once and install the app on your device. Works fine for live data streams.

For 96 it will have either a 2.93 or 3.23 rear gear, dinky 7.5” 10 bolt IIRC. Check the RPO codes in the glovebox. The 75w-90 is fine, the diff is nothing special. Limited slip was optional, code will be G80 if you have it.

I can personally vouch for Castrol GTX High Mileage syn-blend (green jug) resolving a weepy rear main on my 98. I used 10w-40. Heard plenty of good things about Valvoline MaxLife HM as well, also a blend.
