    Help me understand the relevance of wide pleats

    Wide or narrow pleats are irrelevant. What matters is square inches of media. So if a filter canister is small but needs lots of media inches the pleats will be whatever size they need to be to fit in the can,or cartridge. Actual pleat size is whatever it is based on how much media is required...

    So I converted a car to E85 today

    Originally Posted By: Superflop the only thing between my saabs and e85 is ecu mapping. Alot of saab tuners go to e85 in the summer for bigger grins.

    99 Oldsmobile LSS supercharged oil recommendations

    If it's not leaking there isn't any need for it. Just because the bottle says use after 75000 miles it doesn't mean your engine requires whatever is special about the oil at that mileage. It's a marketing gimmick for no minds who can't think for themselves.

    Question about fuel

    Why did he want you to reset the fuel maps. That makes absolutely no sense whatsoever. As zach already said the engine has a knock sensor that amuses timing for the fuel used. Whether you use premium or regular won't matter to the engine since it will adjust based on knock,however if using...

    Something needs to be done with truckers

    What an absurd comment. You're trashing truckers as though they are all the same. Consise that basically all goods found in every store arrived there on a truck and you quickly realize there are 10s of millions of them on the road every minute of every day. So using that figure exactly what...

    .22 rimfire

    I have a Remington rimfire. 10 shot clip and I wish I had bought the ruger. None of the multi shot clips work with it. Jam up or don't feed properly. The 10 shot clip that came with the gun works fine though,just none of the accessories I've tried so far. It's accurate short range. Scope...

    7,500 Mile Filter?

    An orange can can do 7500 miles in a known clean engine easily. I'm running almost triple that on both the charger and the Sierra however both are known clean. If the engine has deposits I'd clean them first in a manner you are comfortable with whatever it is. Once it's clean extended filter...

    Silkolene Identifies Base Oils Used in 4T Lineup

    Here we go with the "true synthetic" stuff again. It's no wonder there are people that just regurgitate this stuff back. It's everywhere and most people aren't bitogers and won't dig deeper beyond the marketing. I used to care about base oils. And I did indeed regurgitate the stuff not really...

    The age old question... 1999 Chevy Express Van.

    Whatever is on sale in a name brand conventional. They are all comparable in quality. Short intervals due to your short trips. 5000 miles max and if it's fuel diluted enough to be flammable change it. Or run it a 100 miles to evaporate it off. You've got one of the most durable engines ever...

    "Tight Engines" need 0W-20 he claims

    I can't believe people still cling to this nonsense Some people can't be taught or refuse to learn. Either way you can talk til you're blue in the face so don't waste your time.
