    2005 Echo; engine oil is surprisingly clean

    Being in Canada my options are limited, i recently learned about wearcheck. https://wearcheck.com/ I will repeat this "test" after 8000km In the past it would be darker than this in a fraction of the mileage in the same car. Mobil 1 synthetic, the standard one. Fram Ultra Synthetic. I am...

    2005 Echo; engine oil is surprisingly clean

    In the past it would look more black after even 100km. Then again my sample size is one car.

    2005 Echo; engine oil is surprisingly clean

    2005 Toyota Echo, Mobil 1, Fram Ultra Synthetic oil filter, changed in December, about 2000km, almost all highway, almost all in the last couple months since i did not drive the car all winter. Obviously this is not scientific at all but i was checking the oil level and was surprised it looks...

    Rock Auto has some Fram Synthetic Endurance filters in stock, with a twist

    Lower durability construction is not designed to be more durable. It could be perfectly fine, then again it may not, in addition it does not have the high filtration level i am looking for, i went with ultra synthetic over OEM Toyota because of its much superior filtration performance. Not sure...

    Rock Auto has some Fram Synthetic Endurance filters in stock, with a twist

    Even Denso admits that their non OEM are not necessarily the same quality https://www.repairerdrivennews.com/2019/08/05/denso-oem-aftermarket-parts-from-same-manufacturer-not-identical/ The reason is inconsequential, if their product fails there is no way for me go after the culprit.

    Rock Auto has some Fram Synthetic Endurance filters in stock, with a twist

    I would trust Honda OEM to be up to spec, a company that makes good stuff and junk and then turns to enshittification is not a safe bet. I checked every Ultra Synthetic to make sure it was not a plastic inner core, i only bought metal ones. Filter fails the company who made it is bankrupt, i am...

    Rock Auto has some Fram Synthetic Endurance filters in stock, with a twist

    Indeed, hence i do not want it. "The manufacturer considers the parts to be equivalent, and the stock is mixed, so we cannot guarantee which you would receive. We apologize for any inconvenience."

    EV lots getting cleaned out.

    Indeed it does, that said more EVs on the roads means more used EVs in the market in the future and more demand as people get used to the new technology. So while i am sure this is transient, i'll still take the W.

    Rock Auto has some Fram Synthetic Endurance filters in stock, with a twist

    The listing has the Synthetic Endurance model number (FE4967) but the listing says Tough Guard or Synthetic Endurance. I emailed them and they replied that the model numbers are the same between Tough Guard and Synthetic Endurance, when i replied that they are not (TG4967 and FE4967) the reply...

    Been able to find 7 so far, the stores had some more but they have a plastic screen inside that looks very flimsy, i only bought those with metal grating inside as shown in the first pic above. Not sure i want to even risk the plastic one.

    How do you guys manage tool batteries and charging?

    I got no notification of your reply so sorry for late reply, if i had not checked i never would have seen it, argh. None indicate it, i do it manually, i check the voltage and have measured how long it takes to charge to that voltage, effectively how many hours to get to 80% charge or 4V per...

    Should I stick with standard change interval or is it safe to lengthen it in my case?

    Took some work but found out they do analysis for $50 CAD, plus shipping for the sample container. Since i am only a few cities away i plan to go there and grab it myself to save on shipping costs next time i am passing through. To save others time if they live nearby, the address is 1175...

    How do you guys manage tool batteries and charging?

    I do 80% but hitting it perfectly is a big hassle. I will do 100% if i am using it that day. They need to make chargers that have an 80% charge option.
