I am running an OCOD in the Kia, see signature line. Runs good, no tick.

This post is weird. The engine does not look horrible. It definitely does not look excellent either. I just dropped the pan to change the oil pan gasket on my 122K Dodge Grand Caravan in sig. The bottom end looked significantly better than yours. No sludge at all on any parts or the pan, light...

I would love one of these for a truck gun.

i used to run trop-art syn blend 5w30 in a trailblazer and a dodge ram in minnesota. it looked horrible by the end of winter, but both vehicles held up well

That aint too bad. At any given time I have an oil filter or two for every vehicle/OPE, one or two OCI in oil, 5 or 6 quarts of top off oil (random brands, same grade I run in my van), a few gallons of mixed HDEO I run in my OPE, a few quarts of ATF, and a few randoms. Ex- I topped off my...

It wont make much difference. You are only going 20mm wider. I run a three inch taller than stock tire on my F250 and barely notice the difference.

here's the thing on tears. Are they a good thing? No. Are they catastrophic? No. Have numerous unknown tears undoubtedly happened to many of us over the years. Yes, so I don't worry about it.

I typically use them on my fords, and sometimes I use the FL400s on my ph3614/3600 applications. Love em.

Since this thing never seems to die....I will tell you I (as a police officer) have written ONE ticket for towing too much (I wrote unsafe operation) when a dude crashed a single cab four cylinder S10 pulling a ford galaxy 500 on a two axle car trailer. I think the S10 was rated at 1000lbs. For...

For all the sanctimonious holier than thou individuals who feel the need to dissect towing safety whenever it is discussed. This seems to be a trend. Whenever someone on BITOG mentions towing, someone breaks some stats and advises whatever someone is wanting to tow is VASTLY irresponsible and...

5K is a good place to be IMO. VTC/MDS systems, etc operating off of oil....just seems like a good idea to have clean oil.

I have posted this I don't know how may times, and nobody ever acknowledges it. I did UOA with K&N panel filter in my old 2005 Dodge. Silicon lower than average. If you keep your factory airbox and don't run an exposed cone filter, the air slows down a bit and many particles drop out of...
