You’re a bad man, @Leroybrown baddest man in the whole d@mn town. Hahaha

IMHO unless they’re using absolute swill (which I doubt), your 5k oci will be fine. I learned the hard way years ago the 10k oci is way too long for my turbo direct injected 3.5 Ford (I know - different engine), but similar idea. Your dedication is admirable, but if you’re that set on getting...

You'd have to run the numbers yourself on whatever HPL blend you'd want to compare the Amsoil SS to. Their website displays pricing, etc and they are generous enough to provide a code as a BITOG sponsor (I could be wrong here), but they're very active on the boards compared to zero corporate...

I've got a Makita battery powered pole saw attachment that leaks like a scythe (sp?). I just use it until the oil is almost out and then put it away. I'll deal with the minimal corrosion that starts between uses. For gas, I have a Stihl chainsaw...260? that puts out quite a bit of chain oil...

I saw a clarkson’s farm episode where he took an iron pipe and put it on his 3/8” ratchet. That thing had to have been 8’ long.

Detailed Image is running a 20% off sale right now for memorial day for all of your detailing needs. Mods, I don't know if/how to cross post to let the detailing thread followers know this too. TIA.

New HPL same type - I’m not stopping that workhorse! And a Napa gold filter I’ve been sitting on debating using it or not. Ultimately I threw it on. I will be doing a c&p on that one after it comes off to compare its catching vs the amsoil.

Another c&p with approximately 7400 miles on this ea15k04 and HPL premium plus pax 0w20. This stuff is knocking all sorts of carbon off the engine and thankfully the filter is (seemingly) catching it! Wire mesh backing was intact. Center plastic support tube held up just fine. I used a hacksaw...

Below is my c&p of the same filter that started this thread. Amsoil ea15k04. To my neophyte eye, it looks good best I can tell. Center support tube looks good and the wire mesh backing of the filtration media is intact. I used a hacksaw to cut this off the tube, so please forgive any messy...

Seriously? This one too?!? I would have though leaving the stick unscrewed would lead to greater variability vs screwing it in all the way.

Thanks for this. I don't remember this from my HRX owner's manual and think it has a GCV engine too, but frankly assumed it was the same vs all the other small engines I've had before.

If this is true, I've been doing it wrong for years. Wouldn't it be more repeatable and predictable to fully insert (close) the dipstick to get a reading vs just "push it back in"?

When I was younger and didn't know my @ss from a hole in the ground, I ignored mine for around 10k miles. It was for a bad o2 sensor. I kept disconnecting battery, etc and didn't have the money to fix it immediately (in school, etc). After graduating and getting a job, I got the code read and...

Can you do a c&p of the factory break in filter? That’d be cool.

Wait until you look at a fram equivalent.

I did with my gloved finger prior to this whole thing. I didn’t want to mess with it using a small screw driver, etc as I didn’t want to potentially tear the media or unknowingly loosen the glue and making it more apt to come off.

In time. This pic was meant for glue point of reference that to my eye has not come loose in using this filter.

No pics - I’m sorry. Toyota 5.7L 77k on the odo. 7300 on the oil. OUT: 0W30 HPL premium plus passenger oil and amsoil Ea15k04 filter IN: 0W30/5W30 50:50 HPL premium plus passenger oil and same amsoil filter I used what I had. I’ll likely go 0W in the winter and 5W in the summer until my...

I knew I forgot something!
