Just wiped some paste off of my magnetic plug, similar to noalox. At the last oil change there was no paste. 168k miles, Ford Focus ST. Oil in vehicle was and is Mobil1 ESP 0w-30.
Some guys here on bitog hate all automotive YouTubers. From Scotty Kilmer to lake jr to CCN, etc.

Honestly doesn’t matter. There was a video posted about a dude using AMSOIL Signature Series every 5k miles in his F150, pretty much one of the most elite oils you can use, and sure his engine was immaculate, completely spotless, but the cam phasers went out at 70k miles, due to bad engine...
Getting hit hard here on the west coast. 4.39 here in Portland Oregon. Heard Washington state is worse. California also ridiculous. Why? Don’t know. Rest of the country gas is down but here. 18c fed tax and 40c state tax.
Made my way to Walmart this morning to purchase some oil and found myself examining the Mobil 1 oil filters. They seemed very high quality, so I placed 2 in the cart lol. The $11 filter seemed like a better deal than the rusty champ labs Fram Endurance at $12. What does Bitog currently think of...
Best filter still inconclusive in Aug 2025 huh.
-PGI products great but not made in USA
-USA made filters, bad QC
-German Mann and Hummel filters, made in Mexico
-OEM filters, meh
