    Prefilling Oil Filters & How many Changes until all old oil is gone

    I thought this video was kind of interesting visual information: It shows how quickly a dry oil filter, will fill up with oil upon cranking RPM (Much slower than it would be with running RPM) How many times it might take filling an engine with fresh engine oil to displace all old oil left in...

    Amsoil 0w30 European - 3.5 HTHS and personal health report

    Hey folks, Just thought I'd let you all know about Amsoil 0w30 European 3.5 HTHS oil. It's a pretty decent price and Amsoil claims it also meets API SP requirements on top of all the European tests they have completed. I switched over to it in the Caravan because I was looking for a 0w30 with...

    Happy Fathers Day - Keep moving forward!

    So as many of you know I lost my dad in November. It was a hard loss for me. Prior to that loss I was spending a lot of time at my mum and dads doing what my dad couldn't and also to spend what time I could with him before he left us due to his illness. I enjoyed wrenching in the garage on...

    Hi Everyone, For those of you that knew the battle my dad had with cancer these past 7 years and the long fight he put up, I just wanted to let you know that he passed peacefully yesterday afternoon in his sleep. While I thought that the 7 years watching him deteriorate would help prepare me...

    2020 Dodge Caravan 3.6L 6,000km (3750 Miles) Amsoil XL 5w30

    The copper being high is normal for such a new engine and the known leaching of it from the Chrysler engine oil coolers on various models. This number is similar to the 2018 Caravan and the others in our family that I have run UOA's on. I have been testing various 20 weight oils and 30 weight...

    Big Data (Android / iOS) watching everything you do.

    Fram Ultra PentaStar - Canada

    For the PentaStar Fram Ultra filters (the later revision - XG11665) where are you getting them in Canada? My 2 sources have dried up and selection at retailers like CTC / Walmart generally doesn't have this in the Ultra line thoughts? If not I'm going to have to buy the Amsoil EAO filters and...
