Purolator PureOne from my brothers 3.6L Pentastar had a tear in it after 11k miles. UOA is pending, he runs Castrol GTX HM. The previous OFCI was 10.5k and the filter looked great, so I was surprised to see the failure here. I'll link the last filter from the previous OFCI...

I mean I would like to know how they plan on lubing the 600cc striaght six they are planning on putting on the Vulcan rocket under development by ULA. Maybe just a full pressure dry sump system? Are they just gonna fill it with 10W-30 or use some fancy space oil?

Buy a bottle and send it to PQIA

09 Corolla, 174k miles. 5k OCI 5W-20 PP, 04512-YZZA6 OEM filter out. 5W-30 M1 HM, same filter in. Engine is a bit quieter on the M1 than the PP

I'm running 0W-20 and I'm at operating temp within 5 miles, checked using an OBDII reader. Operating temp meaning 176F coolant, which is when the Tstat opens. I imagine it takes another 5 or so for the oil to come up to a similar temp. I think my relatively quick warmup is due to it being a 1.8...

I would use the 0W-20 for the fill and the 5W-20 SN for top offs if needed. Just feels right.

Originally Posted by apollo18 my real question is that why do we take the cold flow test with a grain of salt? is it not an important factor? I believe it's because the cold flow test manufacturers use is more concerned with cold pumpability, not just how quick it flows or pours. The cold oil...

I feel like I may have posted here before, but I'll go again! 173k miles on an 09 Corolla, 2nd transmission installed 2k miles ago. Burns ~1qt every 2k, had conventional oil from lube shops run for too long until I got it and started learning around 130k miles. HM oils cleared up the smalln leak...

You think so? We were both more than a little uncomfortable pushing a syn blend so far, but this is our first foray into extended OCIs. The numbers don't lie but it just seems like a such a long run when we're both used to 5k changes.

From my brothers Chrysler 300, he ran a purolator one I believe. I attached a pic of the filter.

So you change the oil several times a day right?

Why pay extra for Amsoil when Dnewton3 and others have shown similar OCIs with a good UOA using say, Halvoline syn blend? I agree there are benefits for some to running extended drains, but Amsoil is just way too pricey for me when you can get great oils for less. Either way I change mine when...

That looks really good. Thanks for all your C&P's '53 Stude
