    Fram Titanium is no longer metal screen backed. Ultra, Endurance, Titanium ALL are synthetic *blend* media.

    @Robvette I don't think the title of your thread and video is accurate because of a recent email from the Fram tech line. Might want to consider editing it...

    If you received an unordered item from Amazon...

    I once received a neck brace from Amazon. My name and everything on the label. Thought maybe someone was being passive aggressive but now I wonder if it was just for a fake review

    Latest Fram Ultra Synthetic oil filter as of 2023 January - Is it still a good choice?

    It took a few months but I heard back from Fram about the FS7317 @53' Stude cut for us which was missing the metal backing for the media. Good to know the titanium isn’t going the same way as the ultra.

    Oil extraction tool, 2023 version?

    Link to the listing: https://m.tb.cn/h.5bPJfgP Problem is it's only sold domestically in China. Their market is large enough that most sellers don't bother with overseas sales so you need to use a buying agent. CSSBuy is who I use - they take Paypal and have been reliable but you can research...

    Oil extraction tool, 2023 version?

    Just ordered a pretty cool DIY extractor from China which lets you use your own power tools. Will test it on the HR-V dip stick hole and an M12 1/2" stubby once it arrives in about a month. $16 before shipping if you can believe it for everything that's needed (pump head, connections, adapters...

    Fram Endurance vs Titanium Media Size Comparison (Ti is 64.2% greater)

    Motorking used to be that guy but those days are long gone. Now their customer service is giving out false information and I can't even get an answer after buying filters that weren't as advertised.

    Anyone heard of RAMCAR batteries?

    Found a post saying they've been around for over 30 years and used to have an American factory. "When Ramcar Battery changed to envelope separators in 1991 for their flooded batteries. RV jar warranties dropped 7% at the receiving dock, according to then president of Ramcar, Mark Daugherty...

    Canadian Smoke

    Even though the air quality is excellent today, I repeated the test with recirculate off and the filter still does an excellent job Will have to repeat the testing on a smoggy day.

    Canadian Smoke

    Got this lab grade air quality monitor off a Chinese marketplace. I see a lesser model by the same brand is sold for $436US at Grainger... Price paid in China - $190US.. Video from this morning, testing out my PM2.5 cabin filter. With the air on recirculation, it is clear that a filter can...

    French labeling in Canadian national parks.

    Leave some of the beautiful women for the rest of us s'il vous plaît :) (another wonder of Québec - maybe due to the King's Daughters?) The King's Daughters (French: filles du roi or filles du roy in the spelling of the era) is a term used to refer to the approximately 800 young French women...

    French labeling in Canadian national parks.

    I'm suspicious if they were being genuine as bandage is such a common brand name :(. The slogan on the licence plates says it all "Je me souviens" (I will remember). To many, it used to be Nouvelle France (New France) and judging by the amount of coverage of the riots in Paris on Québec TV...

    French labeling in Canadian national parks.

    For navigating - AllTrails premium ($36CAD/year) is what I use and always pre-load trail maps which are quick to download when you do have data. It's been perfect so far.

    French labeling in Canadian national parks.

    The goal is to be patriotic. It's common to see flag poles in front of people's homes or a flag sticking out of a car window when driving in Québec. You don't see this in other provinces.. I used to be shocked. Now I see it as people who deeply care. The federal government seems to understand...

    French labeling in Canadian national parks.

    I feel like most who live in Bromont are originally from Montreal. I mountain bike there almost every weekend and there are no language barriers of any kind for both me and my friends. Instead of entertaining the charades, ask someone passing by if they might be able to help translate. I...

    French labeling in Canadian national parks.

    Out of curiosity, other than the naming "national parks" - what's confusing? It's run by the provincial government instead of the federal government. They do a great job. https://www.sepaq.com/parcs-nationaux/index.dot?language_id=1 Here's the English section of the website. You'll be served...

    French labeling in Canadian national parks.

    Many struggle with English to be honest, especially if they're originally from a small town so I wouldn't always hold it against them. When something like this happens, I just find someone else to help which usually isn't hard as most Québécois are good people in my opinion. You hear similar...

    French labeling in Canadian national parks.

    Here are some photos from last week @ Mont-Mégantic. The hiking could not have been better and a photo from last year in nearby Mont Orford. There are so many great options in the Eastern Townships - it is wild.

    French labeling in Canadian national parks.

    Provincial parks in Quebec are called national parks and most signs are only in French. The only English that I recently noticed was the sign with pricing. Staff are 10/10 and things are easy to figure out so I wouldn't let it discourage at all! At least at the parks I've been to, it is rare...
