Little salt little love, all you need

Took me 18 months to hit 5k on my Tacoma due to pandemic working from home conditions. I dont see an issue going past a year with a low fuel dilution engine and synthetic oil.

FRAM QC fail or result of the takeover?

Supertech a few years ago. Put it our vehicles a couple of times since then and some neighbors vehicles.

A Fram Orange Can before I knew BITOG existed. The ole OCOD wasn't smiled on back then.

Yeah it is fine for 10k. My comment was more of a notion that I'm not sure it would go 20k.

What is typical oem filter efficiency? Is the Boss not on par with many oem filters but a longer lasting filter? If I am looking at micron charts correctly, 99% of particles of basically what a human eye can barely see are caught and 50% of human white blood cell sized particles caught. Fine...

So they are like a Toyota filter on efficiency but last longer?

Scooped up 2 jugs of maxlife full synthetic 10w30 from wally world today while returning a battery core on rollback for $22 and some change per jug. Prices are climbing for sure and stock was down. QS FS and this valvoline were less than supertech FS which was strange to see. Have enough oil...
