We have a 2011 Sonata as well, 72000 miles or so, and no problems so far. Turns the oil to mud after about 4000 miles, but runs like a champ.

Not sure who you're referring to that went out of business, but BG is absolutely still in business, we sell their products at the shop I work at on a regular basis. That being said, I am not familiar with this particular product. but we see enough sludged up junk running around I'm going to ask...

Currently running Manjaro, which is forked from Arch. Super customizable, but runs well on its own right out of the box. Been running some form of Linux as my main PC for 8 years or so. Mint is probably the most rock solid and inclusive out of the box if you're looking for stability. Happy...

Yep. Years ago I put a Goodwrench 5.3 in a 2004 Silverado that came with a filter already installed as the engine had been prelubed at the factory. Once it came back for its first oil change since the engine replacement, I found that the builder installed the filter so tight it had collapsed the...

I wonder if there is any efficiency info out there on these. As near as I can tell they're a product of Siam Filter Products, but their website is garbage and doesn't really say much. Thanks for the sacrifice!
