2021 Jeep GC 3.6 4x4. Owned since new currently with 87k. Used various brands of 0w20 with Valvoline flavors for the last 20k. Mostly 5-6k intervals. Switched to Amsoil SS 0w-30 for this oil change. I know this isn’t a laboratory test. But this trip we take from Ohio to Florida is one we take...

Hey all, I have a 21 Ram Rebel with the BW 48-12 transfer case. Which does not have the 4-Auto option. The “recommended” Shell Spirax is kinda hard to find in non-bulk form. From what I’m reading is that BW-44 fluid can be used? Seeing what y'all think. Thanks!

I just had the LIM replaced in the 2000 Buick Century 3.1 There is no trouble codes. At low speeds it will accelerate normally. If you floor it though it will feel like it’s lacking power. At highway speeds even if you floor it will do nothing. The engine will not respond at all. Going up a...

EcoGard Synthetic S2222. Off of 2021 Ram Rebel 5.7 non-E-torque. 20k miles on unit, 5k 6 month oci. Typical PG. Can was sturdy, with a light textured coating. The media was secured firmly. Though there was a little excess glue. Media was evenly spaced. ADBV was very playable.

Bosch 3331. Off of a 2000 Buick Century 3.1 w/ 80k on unit. Used for 5k oci with Valvoline Maxlife 5w30. Can was decently sturdy. The end caps were secured tightly to the media. Though the media was unevenly spaced all the way around. The ADBV was very stiff for supposedly being silicone. Felt...

Not starting a war nor do I want a bashing thread. 2021 Jeep GC 3.6 81k on unit. This was from a VR&P 5k OCI. The oil change started out with a Fram Ultra that was changed halfway through to this Fram orange box. It was changed just in case there was a lot of cleaning done from the R&P. So...

Came off of my 2000 Buick Century 3.1 74k miles. Oil change was 5k with Maxlife 5w30 syn-blend. Pennzoil HM & PrimeGuard went back on. Filter looked flawless as most PG’s do. The ADBV was still pliable. The can was thick and sturdy. Side note: Originally I figured this would be an upgrade in...

2021 Hyundai Elantra SEL 2.0 82k miles Cartridge’s aren’t real exciting but figured I’d post anyways. Sister dropped by for an oil change. It appears this will be a permanent thing now 😂. About 6k on this oil change. Filter looked flawless.

Howdy fellas, Prime Guard POF-111 4,700 mi OCI. Used on a 2000 Buick Century with Providence 5w30 HM. An EcoGuard and Valvoline Maxlife went back in. Very impressive for a $1.99 filter. The can was very sturdy as all PG’s are. The ADBV was still pretty pliable. The molded/glue/foam 😂 type...

Howdy fellas, This was on my riding mower. Husqvarna 22v46. With a B&S 22 horse, 250 hours on it. B&S 30 wt oil was used. The same went back on and in. I do once a year OCI which is 40-50 hours. BUT we moved last year and in the hustle and bustle of that I forgot. So this one had 2 years and...

Howdy fellas, Mopar MO-339 (04892339AB). In service on a 2021 Ram Rebel 5.7 non-E torque for 6 months/4,500 miles. Valvoline EP 5w20. ADBV was pretty stiff. The end caps were glued on solid and wouldn’t budge when pulled on. The media was decently straight BUT as can been seen had a tear in...

Howdy fellas, my sister stopped by and said she needed an oil change. Figured I’d post it. 2021 Hyundai Elantra SEL - 76k miles 8K OCI. Oil change was done at Tirediscounters so I’m not sure what 0w20 they used. In - I used STP 0w20 & STP XL filter. Looks darn near perfect for 8k, laser...

This one was from the previous OCI on my 2000 Buick Century w/ 64k. Used for commute 54 miles each way all highway. Maxlife syn blend 5w30 and 5,400 miles 3 month OCI. I got ahead of myself and didn’t take an intact pic with the full date code, but some of it is there 😂 Fiber end caps were...

Hey guys, this was on my 2000 Buick Century with 64k on it. It’s my commute car which is all highway 54 miles each way. Ran Maxlife Blend 5w30. Put a Prime Guard on it for this run. Note: this filter started leaking the last 1,000 miles or so which is the 2nd Fram EG to do that in the last...

Cartridges aren’t as exciting but figured I’d post it anyway. Came of the Wife’s Jeep Grand Cherokee 3.6. 6,250 miles and almost 8 months. Used Supertech 0w20.

My first time C&P so be gentle 😂 but I’m all for advice for the future. @53' Stude has inspired me lol Picked these up a couple weeks ago at Rural King, but looks like the date code is 2022 so these might sit on the shelves for a while. I do like the plastic over the end while in the box to...

If they were side by side on the shelf and you were doing 5k oil changes which would you choose? I’ve never used prime guard before. I would use them for my work car, a 2000 Buick Century. I drive 50 miles each way all highway, and I do my oil changes every 5k-ish miles. My Rural King has them...

I found 2 Mopar oil filters I bought in March 2021 for my 21 Ram Rebel w/ Hemi. They have been in my non heated garage but have been in a ziplock bag the whole time. What’s the consensus on shelf life? Good to run or trash them? Thanks! Edit: Actually I was wrong. From the date code they are...

After my stash of OEM Mopar filters are done I’m looking for a good 99% 20 micron filter to start using. It was going to be Fram Ultras but it seems the build quality has gone down hill as of late. It’ll be for both newer vehicles. 2021 Ram and 2021 Jeep that get OCI’s of no more than 5-7k...

Picked up a 2000 Mercury Grand Marquis with 87,000 miles. I’ve had a few of these over the years. Seems pretty well taken care of, lady passed away a couple years ago and hasn’t been driven much. I’m going to give it a once over with all new fluids, filters , tune up etc. As far as the oil...
