    New fram ultra vs tough guard efficiency data

    Good stuff, good advice. I guess I need to read more C&P ... One cannot always pop open tape sealed product in the stores and expect to walk out without a half dozen "shoppers" follow you around every corner. The photo: excellent example. However, could those louvers simply be angled...

    New fram ultra vs tough guard efficiency data

    Ooooh, now I get it. Literally like horizontally slatted window blinds (aka louvers) vs. punched holes. Thank you! Are the design differences actually beneficial one against the other? Or does it simply not matter if flow in=flow out? Does it affect filtration performance based on one...

    New fram ultra vs tough guard efficiency data

    Forgive me if I'm in mistake. The latest C&P videos show the media literally butted up against a full steel center tube. That tube being of a fully perforated spiral-like/helical construction with wide open holes. Is the a difference I am needing to know about or am I mistaken? Please tell...

    Should I be concerned or am I being paranoid?

    It appears to be a leak path on the filter input side. Since it all flows in from behind that seal ring and inlet holes? I... really can't see a worry. Before you sent it I hope that you did an engine run and leak test. If you couldn't see a drop of oil, there seriously isn't a worry I can...

    New fram ultra vs tough guard efficiency data

    I dunno... I think it's not so tragic as the dual bonded media may actually be an improvement for specified applications and properly used. There is still fully potted metal caps and a louvered metal center tube. One that I might add, has fully opened holes. What I do think is tragic is that...

    Fuses for non-existing features

    It's a cost reduction measure. Rather than build a completely new harness or fuse box for every level of an optioned vehicle choice ... They just mass produce a single harness and fuse box layout across all trim levels of a given make and model class. Good example of this: The all new Corvette...

    Kitty on convertible top

    Ssscat: It's an electronic motion detecting deterrent. It has a range of about 3'. Should be enough to cover the width of a roof. It uses an air duster style of propellant to generate a wet, heavy hissing noise that completely disrupts a cat's sense of ownership. ;> I've got two that I...

    This by far is one of the worst YouTube videos I have ever seen

    I watched for about all of 5 seconds and knew it was Kleetus up to his click bait misinformation. I watched on for up to a minute and when I saw a hydraulic jack and stands on gravel? I watched to the end expecting a shift and collapse of equipment. Am I an evil person if the jacks never fell? 🤔

    How to needed:

    It was an attempt at a joke. He's a tuxedo moggie cat. ^.^ But the info you did provide is actually spot on. I only own a few suits for as needed. All wool, and yup... middle to low iron is the trick. Silk will scorch or glaze with just about any heat. My little mog? No. Won't take an iron for...

    How to needed:

    As title says, I need practical information on how to press a tuxedo without destroying its' natural fibers and wrecking its' character. Can I do it before Friday night? It's very wrinkled in some places...

    I Can Feel an OCI Coming On

    Lol, all fun kidding on this thread aside... There is nothing wrong with your maintenence schedule. That you actually worry about a change let alone do one is just simply stellar. ;> If you do short trips and only accumulate 4k miles in a calendar year, yes. Yes I'd change oil at the very...

    Oil Change - Hot or Cold and Oil Level Check - Hot or Cold?

    Oil Change - Hot or Cold and Oil Level Check - Hot or Cold?

    Feh. I don't get the hullabaloo. I have never done wrong changing oil hot in my rig. It flows fast and hard. I have a magnetic plug that spoils me. It will hold fast against any internals as I back it out with a wrench. Yeah, it has an aluminum pan, but the plug is strong enough to draw up...

    Where's my package?

    The max-luscious-best ever... This is back in 2004. I was shipped a set of Panasonic rapid discharge batteries to refit a 3600va UPS for a set of servers @ university I was working for. Shipment delayed day... ... after day... .> Plus a month and a half. In my faculty mailbox one day, a...

    Cool Off Period After Driving

    Dear goodness, me too. I had an '84 Olds Delta 88 way in the day. If I didn't idle her for 5 minutes after an interstate run, she'd first boil up into the recovery bottle after shut down. A few minutes after listening to the gurgling, steam would just explode from the front wheel wells. I mean...

    UNREASONABLE: I fear getting under a car on a lift, or even on jack stands.

    "Mid-grade" Fuel

    Ja, I do just that. A highway side shell station decently available delivers 93 V-power Nitro+. I've tried other brand premium fuel but they make the sport tuned SS truck sluuuuuuuggish. So far this place hasn't set me wrong. But let me tell you a story of little sister pumping a 75% tank of...

    Why can't i have a good looking car

    Ugh. I had a new to me Subaru Legacy wagon. In alpine white. 2 weeks into ownership while I was still in the car, writing a check for my cellular bill... (No offense but it's always a heavy girl from here on out) A singular example of the porcine persuasion *smashed* her door open into mine as...
