Originally Posted By: George7941 Just checked RockAuto, the Wix 42487 for my truck is $17.68 + shipping. Absolutely no point in replacing the existing filter with a poor quality $10 filter. My point is, if the existing filter is not offering any restriction, it is of no benefit to replace it...

Originally Posted By: spasm3 I wonder how they sell any at the $8:99 and $9.49 prices. I know some people don't care for wal mart and i get that, but to pay double when a 5 quart jug is $25-$27? How do they sell any at those prices? My guess is for situations like myself.. My Escape takes...

Another option.. I know it's leaning further from OEM sizes but if you're looking for some more pothole protection because 225/50 is still pretty low-pro how about a 235/50? I realize it will set the speedo off more but it will give a little more cushion without going too far away. Also...

If you're moving you have to have at least 50 boxes, right? Just randomly place 1 qt in each case.. It'll be annoying when you unpack but at least you brought it..

They are the OE tires on my Escape. Decent tire. I can tell it is a LRR tire because there isn't much winter traction. The only real downside I see in this tire from my experience is they are a little noisey around town. They aren't loud cruising on the interstate or even when they are cold. I...

wow.. that's really sad..

Well my magnetic drain plug came in a couple weeks ago at this point but I finally got to it yesterday to replace the OEM one. Makes me feel a little better about the oil/engine situation considering there isn't a real filter. And the oil only had a few hundred miles on it. I kind of felt bad...

Originally Posted By: slacktide_bitog Why do they need to spray oil inside the filter? Don't oil filters move quickly? They don't usually stay on the shelf for long. Did they finally make the date code easier to read? Plus having places like walmart where the shelves fit 10 deep and the...
