Fram is only used as a benchmark here: Basic filters like the Fram Orange Can: About 5,000 miles. 7500 in a pinch. Better filters like the Fram Tough Guard or Napa filters will go 10,000. Various extended performance types, 16,000 or better. For instance the best filters from Wix or Mobil...

It is NOT an Xtra guard. The Xtended Guard was discontinued a couple of years ago in favor of the Ultra. Here is an image of one. Not an XG3600; I just got this image off Google. I think old stocks of this Xtended Guard series are still for sale in a few places...

I just took another look in my stash and there is this XG3600 Xtended Guard filter. I think I got in 2012. The box says it is good for 10,000 miles, but do you think it will do a 15,000 mile distance with two changes? My car is a 1996 Avalon that is rated for the shorter filter; this XG3600 is...

I still have one of these in my stash. You do not hear much of them these days. Mine is 2011 production. I will use it in April, as far as I know.

Even in salty conditions, I cannot see this filter installed in April of 2016. Did the OP put it on himself? If he had someone else put it on, how does he know that they actually put the filter on or maybe just lied about that? That looks like a solid year of rust, at least, possibly as many...

I am not an Aussie. Never have tried it, and I also wonder how it tastes?

If around April I might even stick dino in it, like PYB, and change to full synthetic right before the trip. And that is no April Fool's joke.

There are these 99 Cent Stores I go to, and the Kendall synthetic every now and then goes on sale for $2.99. It tends to vanish off the shelf fast. The engine was back in 1995 specified for oil changes with SH dino every 5500 miles or so. With synthetic oils now, I can see 10K.

My vehicle is a 1996 Toyota Avalon, and I have been running semi-synthetic or full synthetic oil mixes, with change intervals of 7000 to 8000 miles for many years. I do about 1200 miles a month and have for over a decade. About September 1, 2017 I will take a long drive of about 2000 miles in...

Sometimes people blow a fuse here. They are just trying to stop flame wars.

My old Avalon is spec'd for the PH3614 dimensions. I have used PH3600 types and even a PH8A will fit in there!

I want to get my yearly credit report. What do you recommend?

Amsoil has great products. But they are not worth the cost in my particular car.

I once worked a night security job in a building that was haunted. There was no other logical explanation for the stuff going on in an empty, locked building at night. Example: the sudden appearance and disappearance of cigarette smoke, wild temperature changes, chairs being moved as if by the...

Is Uber as a whole making a profit or is their fame based on speculation?

My buddy lives near New York City. His wife has a 1998 Nissan Sentra that gets driven only about 1200 miles oer year. All of it is of short trips of six miles or less. He asks how often the oil and filter need changing. My impression is that it should be done yearly, with a good anti-sludge...

That is a great filter!

This is a reasonably robust synthetic that meets DEXOS 2 now, is often on sale, no rebates are needed, and it works fine.

In hot climates, no problem at all.
