Love the LX25s on my Subaru Outback. Good handling. good traction, Quiet. They did very well on this Tire Rack test: https://www.tirerack.com/videos/index.jsp?video=1052

:D True dat. Lowest-cost real solution for this OP would probably be a smaller above-ground plastic tank ~500 gal on DIY concrete slab base. But he'd still then need a pump & controls to supply existing pressure tank from the holding tank, and his total cost would be about what he's already...

My '99 Legacy GT wagon got only Mobil 1 full-synthetic right from the very first oil change. It didn't consume any oil until it reached about 100k miles. Switching to HM version of Mobil 1 cured that.

Extra pressure tank which probably only provides about 20 gallons additional surge capacity was the wrong solution to low-volume well problem. Proper solution would be a holding tank. In my area where wells commonly only produce 2-3 gpm, in-ground holding tanks about 2000 gal capacity are used.

on edit: message deleted; I didn't originally see Robvette's post #34 which made same point.

The Q400 is an amazing airplane. Cruise speed of 350-410 mph which is comparable to a P-51 Mustang!

They did well against some other well-regarded competitors in this excellent Tire Rack video review. https://www.tirerack.com/videos/index.jsp?video=1052

Re Silicon: The Wix is reputed to be a very good air filter but perhaps fit is an issue here. Could try installing an OEM air filter right now so the next UOA will reflect the change. Also, check that the air box is clean when new filter installed. I don't recall seeing other Subaru UOAs with...

Registered; Thank You!

Which analysis firm did the testing? Cost? Looks very comprehensive.

The OP's picture (and the text) indicate that this is an older filter, so it cannot be a "return" to a particular construction, regardless of any implications of quality levels past or present. For sure, the OP filter is different than the Amsoil EA15K13 filters I've recently purchased. The...

New data: Endurance FE7317 on shelf at Walmart today has very recent June 21, 2024 production date and has metal center tube with louvers; Amsoil EA15K13 recently received has same 2/23/2024 production date as previous filter, still has E-core.

World's only Bigfoot Trap is near me. Has only caught bears. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bigfoot_trap

It's a regular piece of equipment on the car, not an aftermarket add-on. A better name for it would be "oil heat exchanger" or "oil attemperator" because it exchanges heat between the engine oil and the coolant. When the engine is starting up and the oil is below the coolant temperature, it...

Your point is validated by my latest UOA! I had a concern about the Copper value in my OAI-performed sample #5. Now, my latest UOA (sample #6) shows Copper at a more typical value. It appears that there may indeed be a time-dependent component to Copper pickup. To wit: Sample #6 with OCI of 80...

Currently have a '16 Forester and '20 Outback XT (turbo engine). Before that, had a 1999 Legacy GT Wagon. That car is still on the road in hands of young relative, with 240k miles. All these cars have been very reliable. Only major repairs needed were on the '99, which needed headgaskets at 120k...

My '99 Legacy GT Wagon with EJ DOHC engine unsurprisingly developed weeping cam carriers at about 10 years old/ 100k miles. Switching from regular Mobil 1 to the HM version mostly stopped problem; after that, consumed about 1 quart per 2000 miles. That car is still in service with a young...

Agreed, I was hoping that someone else has an Endurance with a more recent date to check. FWIW, the Endurance I have was purchased at WalMart only a couple of weeks ago.
