I saw SQ on Castrol Edge EP at my local Walmart.

125k miles on OEM pads and rotors, about 50% life remaining, smooth as silk.

I’ve used anything from a 5w30 to a 15w40 in my 20 HP Briggs on my Toro ZTR. It burned a bit on a 30wt. So, I moved up to a 15w40. I use Supertech 15w40 Full Synthetic HDEO and a WIX 51348 or alternative. It’s the cheapest oil I’ve run, it doesn’t burn anymore, and I don’t see the point in...

Can the Mityvac pump or only extract via vacuum?

It’s a super easy job. I did the same thing on my ‘19 Camry Hybrid using this same video. I’d recommend a good fluid pump, an accurate torque wrench, and make sure you get OEM crush washers. Also, make sure the car is level.

They’re all regarded as being well built filters. I know many who run them, especially in diesel vehicles. Pick any and you’ll be good to go!

IMO, it’s partially dependent on your time between oil changes. <25-50, any filter would probably be fine. However, it would be nice to have one with metal end caps and a silicone ADBV. With how hot the oil runs, I think metal end caps are more important. So, if 25-50 hour OCI - pick any with...

To me, it looks like the normal Premium Guard made filter. The NAPA Proformers I’ve had open look identical. Looks good, thanks!

I placed an order back on May 20th, just arrived today. I’ll update with pictures later. I’m actually surprised it arrived. I kept waiting and waiting, with no updates or options to contact on Amazon. Then, magically, voila! I got a message showing it was shipped. Great deal!

Any of the “extended” performance or protection labeled formulas from any of the big manufacturers would suffice. If shopping at Walmart, you have 3 EP options and 2 non EP options: Valvoline EP, Castrol Edge EP, Mobil 1 EP, QSUD, and PUP. Any of these oils would suffice IMO. Castrol has the...

Glenda W. is spot on. That would be my exact course of action.

I purchase the same type of drain plug gasket from RockAuto in bulk. I believe they are from Ultra-Power, don’t remember exactly. I’ve never ran into this issue. I used to use a torque wrench, but now I just tighten it, let out an audible “click click,” then say “that ain’t going nowhere.” I...

NC Miata. Out - NAPA Proformer 21348MP. In - WIX 51348. I have a few more WIX filters left in my stash. Well, more than a few. Then, my full switch to Premium Guard filters begins.

I would be interested to see how Castrol Extended Protection 5w30 would hold up. It has quite a few pretty stout approvals.

This is the WIX quality I expect to see. I wish they all looked this good.

I used Valvoline EP in my 1.5T Terrain while I owned it.

You’re a good guy for that, props to you.

I think we have the Purolator tier list backwards 😂. Price is inversely proportional to quality. It seems as though the tech and red can have higher build quality than the blue can and boss. I don’t know what’s going on nowadays 😂.

I tend to use the normal Extended Protection variant, rather than HM. That’s just because it’s Dexos1 Gen3 approved. I use the Advanced from time to time as well in my hybrid Camry. I advise many of my friends to run the EPHM in their vehicles. I have an itch to run R&P, but just don’t have...

Very close, they even share drain plugs and oil filters. GM 1.4L NA engine.
