The problem with oil filter ratings is that even 40 microns is smaller than the clearance on the main bearings and rod bearings. I don't have any idea how that effects wear. With normal bearing clearance being about 60 microns, will a 40 micron particle shoot through that clearance without...

Audi will stop developing IC engines in 2026 and will only make EVs starting in 2032. Volkswagen will only make EVs starting in 2035. The UK will only allow the sale of new EVs beginning in 2035. General Motors has said it's aiming to produce only EVs by 2035. BMW's Mini brand will only sell...

Right now I drive a 2020 Audi A4 with a 150,000 mile extended warranty. I expect my next car will be a Tesla Model 3 or equivalent. A Tesla Model 3 is capable of 3.1 sec 0-60 and a top speed of 162 MPH. I cannot think of a single stock car from 1960 - 2010 that had that level of performance...

Thanks. Although the disclaimer at the bottom is concerning. "NOTE: Properties above are not a specification, they are typical and may vary." I haven't seen that on any other manufacturers PDS.

So why do your PDSs and SDSs require a user name and password to access them? Seems like you're trying to hide something.

RTFM and follow their recommendations.

This is another interesting article on oil viscosity and bearing clearance. https://blog.k1technologies.com/bearing-clearance-and-oil-viscosity-explained There are several interesting take-aways: 1) The typical rule that most engine builders follow is that bearing clearance establishes the...

Yes. That's where the ends of the media are glued together.

Don't skimp when you get an extractor. I bought a couple of cheap ones and they turned out to be a waste of money. The Mityvac 7201 is the way to go.

Frankly, I would be extremely leery about those first two items. There is such a thing as too good of a deal.

I understand the reason to pre-fill a vertically mounted filter, but how do I pre-fill my filter?? :ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:

So, on Aug 25, 2021, I ordered 6 Quarts of Mobil 1 ESP 0W-30 oil from Walmart. At $6.86/qt it was the cheapest I could find. The next day, they sent me tracking information on the order. I was surprised to see it split into 3 parcels. 2 quarts were coming from Ft. Worth, TX. 3 quarts were coming...

It is very confusing to post fuel dilution measured by two different methods. Test Oil should pick one or the other. Is there any data on which is the more accurate?

Two New Belgium Tripples (8.6% alcohol) spiked with 50 ml vodka, each. Known as "Boilermakers"

And this is exactly why I didn't study quantum mechanics.

Ha, ha. Very funny. Where's the whiskey?

All the specifications it meets.

My wife brought home a 5/8 inch garden hose yesterday. I looked at it and thought, "You know, a lot of people think that is bigger than a 3/4 inch hose. Because 5 is larger than 3 and 8 is larger than 4."

I'd say about 95%.
