I don't have enough height, so I use a XG16 for tranny filter.

Never, not once in 235k miles.

I just checked my oil filter stock and discovered I still have 1 OG XG8A, date code A23461, wire backed (y)

I wish his shop was around here, he's great.

I always keep a stash. My local Cummins dealer has VPB"Restore" 10w30, $79/gal. They have never heard of the Gen2 Restore. I've been using a 20% mix of it in 3 of my ole gasoline powered daily drivers. Good stuff.

@53' Stude I used XG8A filters on my 2007 Toy 1GRFE from 2012 to 2024. Often doing xOCI up to 18k miles. No issues. In 2024 switched to and I'm currently using for the first time a PBL30001. I switched because of the Fram wavey spring problem. I've had a bypass filtration system on the vehicle...

@Bailey28 The DexronIII fluid specification and licensing program was inactivated in March 2011. The ATF Type III (H) fluid shown in the photograph is ACDelco's non-licensed fluid, which is used to support older transmissions that still required the DEXRON-III (H) fluid. This fluid is backward...

@2.7ecobootFordBronco Over the yrs I've pulled sample from vehicles of mine, sent to different labs, and results were always near identical. Oil analysis results one time in 2019 helped me to save a Kubota diesel engine of mine. Like most diesels, at half-life rod bearings needed to be changed...

I have all my 2 stroke lawn equipment (weed eater, blower, chain saw) that I purchased in the mid 1980s. Its still running strong. I used nothing but Stihl oil until 2010, then I switched to Amsoil Sabre. No regrets :)
