When discussing viscosity, please follow the proper format for viscosity designation. Using the proper format helps in three ways: - when a new thread is posted, it is easily seen/scanned visually and the reader has the ability to decide if it is of interest or not - when a member uses the...

See attached for the base PCEO in 5w-30 NOTE >>> This VOA was in error in the barium and titanium. See post #13 below for "updated" analysis of this sample.

About 3 weeks ago, I went downstairs and found that the water heater had relieved pressure; water all over the floor and even up on the walls near the location. I assumed that either the T&P was bad (most typical cause) or that the gas valve had stayed on too long (less likely, but possible)...

This is the first UOA for this vehicle. Oil in at 20k miles; sampled at 35k miles ( via Fumoto valve with engine running and fully warmed up). Filter changed at sample time. (Fram Ultra; nothing to report - it did its job). No make-up oil added during OCI, but .4 qrts added when the filter was...

I traveled to KY recently. Arrived at my friend's farm on Thursday evening. Parked my Lexus and didn't start it again until Sunday morning for my return trip home. When the car started, it immediately displayed 6 (six!) warning lights on the dash. (see attached photos). The engine ran OK...

We are getting a LOT of complaints about misleading UOA and VOA thread titles because they do not follow the proper format.

"Norm!" https://apnews.com/article/george-wendt-dies-55681263ea8b5bddaf1c89e8e9ba8cb1 I don't know that Wendt would ever be in consideration for the world's best actor, but he sure carried that role with aplomb. His other acting projects paled in comparison to that iconic role. Not that he...

From my Kubota L3430. 150 hours in 4 years of use. Media was perfectly fine; no voids or tears. Had minimal loading of the media. Silicone ADBV was pliable. Construction was good. (back when Wix made decent filters) Oil was VPB 10w-30 HDEO. Same oil and filter went into service; the...

This filter was in use for about 400 hours and 10+ years (yes, more than 10 years), on my Gravely PM252 ZTR mower. The hydraulic system uses individual pumps/motors, but a shared sump/filter unit. It had Mobil 1 15w-50. Same went back in. The rust on top of the base is obviously from...

It is nearly impossible to discuss tariffs and not involve politics. Do not start tariff discussions, or try to veil the topic with links to price increases, which still will invariably degrade into politics, rants, taunts, etc. Violations will be dealt with accordingly.

NG 1307 (Wix 51307). Date code from 6 years ago. This was on my Kubota L3430 for nearly 150 hours; 5+ years in year-round, but infrequent use. Paired with VPB semi-syn 10w-30 CJ-4. My assessment: - the media was perfectly formed, yet pliable; no rips or tears; well spaced pleats; good...

There is a video out from Lake Speed Jr regarding oil filter bypass function. It is titled "OIL FILTERS: What most people DON'T know" As for the context of the video itself, there's nothing new to anyone who's been around here a while, or remembers Jim Allen's BP testing (real world) in his...

Sam Moore, the surviving member of Sam & Dave, just passed away. What an iconic duet; so many excellent hits over the years. RIP, Soul Man!

There's a new YT vid from Freedom Worx regarding pre-filling oil filters. "The TRUTH about PRE-FILLING oil filters ... ACTUAL SCIENCE" is the title I won't link it, you'll have to go to YT and find it yourself; there are some elements (profanity and sexual innuendo) which violate our policies...

President Jimmy Carter has passed away at the age of 100. Leaving politics aside, he was a noble man with a fantastic career of humanitarian service for decades. He also had a notable Naval military career in his younger years. If I recall his story correctly, he actually had some nuclear...
