    Heated windshield: A Midwesterner's dream!

    I recall having it on the original Ford Taurus (late 1980's) or perhaps a 1990's era Lincoln Continental. I lived in Chicago and thought it was great! It would cook the ice off of the windshield in no time!

    Premium Guard Ext Life - 99% at 25 microns, but micron rating is 42-60?

    I remember once being advised by a lawyer that in corporate contracts and statements (e.g. insurance contracts) all ambiguity is in there for a reason, and it is usually not in your favor.

    FL500s (with even more glue!)

    Is there any chance that this stuff is really from a different part of the engine and was filtered out by the filter?

    Fram Ultra Air Filter (sold exclusively at Walmart).

    I did a visual in-store inspection of the Ultra, PurolatorOne, Supertech, and compared it to my used Motorcraft for my EB 3.5L. The Purolator was the thickest and the only one claiming pure synthetic media. Next in thickness was the Motorcraft. The Ultra looked like a step down in quality and...

    But on the Ascent tests, the WIX XP (lowest efficiency) showed the highest capacity, lowest differential pressure and the longest time to fill up, while the Royal Purple (second highest efficiency) had the second lowest capacity, highest differential pressure and shortest time to fill up. On...

    In support of these statements, here is a Jim Allen quote on BITOG some years ago: "I just got off the phone with an engineering contact at a well-known corporation known for filtration. His specialty is engine oil filtration and I can only repeat what he said if he stays anonymous ... 'Here...

    On this spec sheet it shows the M1 having 99%@50u and 50%@20u. That is why I concluded that the two filters employ different media: https://bobistheoilguy.com/used-oil-analysis-how-to-decide-what-is-normal/

    Did you notice that the New Motorcraft FL2052S has media the looks at least somewhat like Fleetguard's Stratapore:

    The terms "highly doubt" and "What does copyright and trademark rental company even mean?" means you don't have a clue on this subject. You are just operating off of your imagination, not facts. Too bad - I was hoping for some insights, not emojis.

    You don't think that Mobil sourced the media, and then outsource the manufacturing to M+H? If not, why do the specs differ between the Mobil product and comparable M+H products? Do you know for a fact that this is really an M+H product in all respects for which M+H is only renting the Mobil...

    No argument intended. I very much appreciate the facts and discoveries you are providing, as I am sure many other BITOG readers do. I was just attempting, perhaps clumsily, to add to your report some details I had discovered, and thought would be of interest to the BITOG readers, in case...

    This is a rock catcher. It is good at catching pretty small rocks and chunks of metal from my experience. From a 1500cc VW Beetle: The oil filters being regularly labeled "rock catchers" on BITOG are nothing like this. On BITOG the term is being used by some as a derogatory name for some oil...

    Premium Guard Ext Life - 99% at 25 microns, but micron rating is 42-60?

    Actually, they don't claim a rating of 99% at 25 microns. They claim "99% Multi-Pass efficiency and removal of particles as small as 25 microns". If challenged, they could back up that claim by showing that they ran an oil sample through the filter, say, 1000 times and sure enough, got 99% the...
