    Threaded end bypass besides Motorcraft at reasonable prices?

    Would the Wix 51372 filter compare favorably to the MC 820-S? Or, should I just save a few pennies and stick with the MC for my Explorer V8?

    SuperTech ST-2 in place of MC 820-S?

    Small world... I've been using MC 5W-20 along with the MC 820-S at 5,000 mile OCI's. Now that the Explorer has 50,000 miles (and is out of warranty), I'm looking for better (if possible) alternatives. Considering the advice given here and the fact that I can get the MC 820-S filter for...

    Kumho ECSTA HP4 716 vs. Mich. MXVP Plus

    I have the Kumho 716's on my 1997 Accord for almost 2 years now, approx. 35K miles. My first inpression when I had these installed was that I couldn't believe how good they were considering the price. Even taking price out the equation I'd put these tires against any 'touring' tire out there...

    metal shards on my tranny drain plug-not another honda!!!

    Hi, I have a 1997 Accord EX 4-cyl/AT. When I put it into 'D', there is about a 1-2 second delay before you feel the "bump" of it shifting into gear. It's not very noticible, and has done this since day one. My 1995 Accord wagon did the same thing for the 8 years we owned it. No problems at all...

    Wax as U dry for the first time..

    I've also been using the Wax As U Dry and can report that it works as advertised. I'm thrilled with this product and use it every time I wash my cars.

    GF4 and me - a dilemma

    After that could we go to Casa Mia's for a few slices? I may work up an appetite bending my elbow at Krogh's. Howdy!

    GF4 and me - a dilemma

    Hi Guys, This GF4 formulation has me in a quandry. For my 1997 Accord, I have 15 quarts of the free Maxlife. Herein lies my problem: Should I get rid of it and get some of the new GF4 Motorcrat 5W30 or DriveClean 5W30? Or, should I resist my BITOG-induced OCD and use up the Maxlife first...

    N.M.O.C. - Part II

    What weight oil have you decided on? 5w-20 or 5w-30?

    No more oil changes until it explodes...

    My vote goes for a bargain basement approach: Since the 4.6 calls for 5w-20, Exxon SuperFlo 5w-20 or Motorcraft 5w-20. It would be interesting to see just how good these oils actually are! I'd like to see the Supertech filter used on it. But, for this application, I think the Motorcraft would...

    SuperTech Oil/Honda ATF - Same Manufacturer?

    All of the SuperTech motor oil and ATF had the old blue/grey color. I was thinking it would be the color of the Chevron bottles....but no dice.

    SuperTech Oil/Honda ATF - Same Manufacturer?

    I doubt it too..that's why I buy my ATF-Z1 from the dealer I was only comparing the bottom of the bottles. The SuperTech DexronIII had the old WPP logo. Most of the motor oil had the new logo. So...it's the bottle manufacturer that's indicated by the logo? Darn...I thought I was onto something.

    SuperTech Oil/Honda ATF - Same Manufacturer?

    Hi, Was in WalMart last night...picked up some more free MaxLife and checked for the new SuperTech (supposedly in the light blue bottles). The SuperTech 5w30 was in the same old blue/grey bottles. But one thing....the bottom didn't have the WPP logo. It had a rectangle with a "G" in it. Funny...

    '97 Honda Accord - MaxLife/SuperTech Full Syn Blend?

    Hi, Thanks for the quick reply! Using the 1 part MaxLife to 4 parts SuperTech ratio would leave me with a bunch of SuperTech left over. Note that I have Five (5) quart jugs of SuperTech. Maybe I'm missing something . I'm going to edit my post to make it a bit clearer. SuperTech Full Synthetic...

    '97 Honda Accord - MaxLife/SuperTech Full Syn Blend?

    Hi, Great board here! I've learned a bunch over the last few months. I have a 1997 Honda Accord with 125K on it. Just now, I just did an oil change using some "free" Valvoline Synpower 5w-30 with a SuperTech filter. Over the life of the car, it's had the oil/filter changes at approx. 4k to 5k...
