    is fram's extra guard 95% efficiency worrysome? or is it fine for low OCI?

    I would think a lower efficiency filter would be a safer choice for longer intervals because it is less likely to block flow or go into bypass as it loads up and becomes more efficient. A high-efficiency filter loads up quickly and has the potential to become a bottleneck sooner. Why is that wrong?

    Latest Fram Ultra Synthetic oil filter as of 2023 January - Is it still a good choice?

    Well, it’s always been fuzzy by design. And where is the hole? I don’t see it.

    So I put a Wix oil filter 51334 on my 2018 tucson base model 2.0L and immediately the check engine light came on.

    It’s possible it was defective. inevitably there’s going to be a bad one no matter what brand

    AGM charger amps

    That’s what it was doing. After less than an hour the red back light went out which means it’s in maintenance mode. I guess it was figuring out if the battery need to charge, determined that it didn’t and stopped.

    AGM charger amps

    Also, it’s not the factory battery. To my surprise looking under the insulating cover it’s a diehard platinum AGM.

    AGM charger amps

    I just connected a new “Viking” charger with a digital display. It slowly climbs. Then quickly falls. Does it again. Now it’s just been hanging out at 13.5. Is that what I couldn’t see with my idiot chargers?

    grinding sound from the starter

    So they installed a starter that does not pull away from the flywheel in time. Are they blaming the flywheel? Or are they saying that the starter they installed damaged the flywheel?

    Catch can baffle correct location.

    Yours is probably orifice too if it’s built into the valve cover. I actually have that engine in a Malibu classic. It’s a better location, but it can still happen. It’s not causing me any problems so I haven’t looked into it. But yes, a lot of Chevy equinox owners are protecting themselves from...

    Catch can baffle correct location.

    The 2010-2017 GM 2.4 Ecotec engine uses an orifice PCV system internal to the intake manifold. It gets clogged relatively easy creating a lot of problems. After cleaning the orifice there was still moisture buildup in the PCV clean air tube, which means it’s not efficient enough. Too much...

    2013 Equinox 2.4 PCV Frozen

    I modded a conventional PCV valve and the moisture problems at the clean air side went away. Next is a catch can to see what is getting sucked into the manifold.

    Catch can baffle correct location.

    On this catch can the baffle is located on the “In” side coming from the PCV valve. Is that the right spot? It seems like it should be on the out? Or is there another reason they put it on that side. Maybe to protect from the stainless steel filter media going back into the engine?

    AGM charger amps

    Ok so using a voltmeter resting voltage was 12.4. I have a BatteryMinder 1500 which is not rated for AGM and according to the 10/25 rule not enough power at 1.5 A. Why I’m looking for another charger. The 1510 is a good charger and does a great job for other battery types. My understanding is...
