    PH10575 C&P 7k

    Recently ran one of the new PH10575 and found the pleats at the join seam disbonded from the end cap. https://bobistheoilguy.com/forums/threads/fram-ph10575-e-core.395418/

    Engine Oil choices at a Ukrainian version of American Lowe’s

    Not trying to make this political, but there is large swaths of Ukraine mainly in the Western half that you would not know there was a war going on. Plenty of military age males sipping coffee in outdoor cafes in cities with fully stocked stores with goods that rival any other European country.

    Ever had an oil related warranty claim denied?

    Save your receipts and keep a record. I would also recommend using the ToyotaCare that comes free with the new vehicle purchase so at least you have a handful of dealer receipt service visits to show a trend. This will probably ruffles some Karen's feathers here, but I would also recommend...

    Car fire ... will ruin your day

    Off hand that I directly know of is the current generation Wrangler and Gladiator. There has been numerous instances of unexplained vehicle fires that just start with origins in the area of the electric power steering pump motor. A few lawsuits over the wiring and pump connection are ongoing...

    Car fire ... will ruin your day

    A lot of newer vehicles with electric power steering are catching fire that start with a high amperage short due to routing issues of the power cable or partially connected power cables.

    STP 0W-30, AutoZone…

    Still though, would think 5W-20 and 5W-30 would the Lions share of vehicles to keep a couple of drums around for and then keep the smaller quantity in the other grades.

    Engine Oil choices at a Ukrainian version of American Lowe’s

    Interesting the amount of OEM branded oil. Here in the USA, it is maybe 4-5 major brands, one house brand but almost never any OEM brands with maybe the exception of Motorcraft branded oil.

    PH10575 C&P 7k

    I am surprised also. I have used that same filter on gas applications and would think using it on a diesel would stress it but it seems to handle it well.

    Baldwin filters opinions

    Good post. I have brought it up before that the race for more efficient filters is more for marketing to sell a higher margin oil filter than what is being required for the applications being applied to. Sometimes "Good Enough" is just that, good enough and anything more has limited to no...

    Creators do get more monetization for longer video viewing engagement since it it more time for ad insertion cuts. The trick is how they balance the content to keep viewers engaged for the longer format videos.

    Low profile cap wrench for Fram PH3387A

    Had a 98 and 01 Cavalier with the same engine. On a cold engine, I could easily go top down with a standard oil filter metal band swivel wrench and get the filter off. Granted, it is by blind feel but once you figure it out, easy peasy from then on.

    Virgin Baldwin B7449 C&P

    Why should they? They will install a silicone ADBV if the OEM application calls for it like they do for Ford applications with the B7491 that replaces Motorcraft FL-910S applications, but if they OEM application does not require it, they are not going to expense it for what is a brand that is...

    MicroGard Select MSL10255 PG-made center tube contamination

    I think it is just lubricant on the forming dies and mandrels for the center tube manufacture mixed with metallic dust from the stamping process.
