    Could smaller be better?

    Those 51515 and Ph8a are the way to go. Same price as the smaller ones and theoretically less likely to go into bypass. You can still get the OG XG8A on ebay.

    I think 15w-40 in my jeep was a mistake

    15w-40 is good to down to 10F. No where in California will it be 10 during the summer. I doubt any where in the northern hemisphere will get that cold.

    Overpriced truck; '97 F-350.

    I would buy any of those dodges for the price they are asking long before ANY new vehicle.

    Toro Tecumseh Lost Compression; found a screw

    The compression should be about 60 if it is healthy. Since it starts and is 24 years old, whatever it has is good enough.

    Opinion on these filter brands - Baldwin, Donaldson & Fleetguard

    Those three are excellent quality. As stated above, the DBL has pretty much the best media available. The regular media is not very efficient though. It is best to check their website for the exact filter you want to use.

    I think 15w-40 in my jeep was a mistake

    I have never been in a 4.0 powered vehicle that wasn't sluggish until it was put in low range. I have owned 3 WJs with the 4.0. Every time they got 15w-40 on the first change and every other, and could tell no difference from whatever was in there. These things get hot under the hood. If I lived...

    Kia K900 oil choice?

    Welcome. Those K900s look really good. These guys are going to say run Mobil ESP 0w-30 or FS 0w-40.

    4f50n ax4n pump help

    Thank you for the response. I am not sure I understand 90 degrees. I need about 1/8" for the cover to seat. The vanes are not square. If I rotate them the longer side will be vertical and stick up farther. Can you explain it differently?

    4f50n ax4n pump help

    2004 Taurus 3.0 vulcan. Can any one tell me if the pump is supposed to have a vane retaining ring on the top and bottom? The old one grenaded but I dont see any pieces of a bottom one. The vanes are all shiny on one side like they were riding on the valve body and have witness marks on the top...

    Shipping Engine Oil

    That spout is inside the box during shipping. You have to open a little flap on the box and pull it out. I agree though that he should not do it.

    Shipping Engine Oil

    I have ordered 2 of those boxes of ATF. They shipped as pictured without an additional box but with plastic bands around them. The boxes arrived in terrible shape but not leaking.

    Diesel - How long can I actually store it?

    Guidelines for storage or using jet fuel in diesel equipment? No clue what those army boys do/did. Every diesel engine we(AF) used in Iraq ran on JP8 without any additives. OP-I dont know when modern diesel started. The 2014 diesel in my truck worked just fine when I fired it up in 2019.

    f-150 2.7 Eco-Boost Sheared 5W-30 down to 5W-20. Which oil to buy?

    I have never heard of RelaDyne. Are you implying this company owns Shell and Chevron or distributes their products?
