Texas based Whataburger made it to Kansas City in the last year or two and brought with it a huge reputation for fantastic burgers. So much so many stood in line for hours during grand opening week. 🤷‍♂️ I had no interest in that chaos, but when I did go in, I found a very good burger that...

My favorite part of NASCAR is.... the sound! Totally gets me wound up. I stumbled across this intoxicating gem the other night. I've been playing it on the main sound bar, loud, laughing in delight while the wife rolls her eyes. :p Love it!

Today is the anniversary of the tragic loss of the HMS Hood and well over a thousand brave British sailors. https://www.britannica.com/topic/HMS-Hood The History channel series “Dogfights” of all things has an excellent animated recreation of the battle. This terrible loss fueled a...

This filter is off my JD lawn tractor after one season of use. It’s an older EcoGard in full green splendor. As you can see the base plate differs a bit from most Premium Guard filters and it has a nitrile gasket. Can was pretty thick and took a bit to cut. Paint was excellent as well...

This RP synthetic filter appeared on my step when to his horror, @Zee09 learned I was going to run a Fram Tough Guard. 😛. This was an interesting filter, the paint was excellent, it had a pliable purple ADBV, can was very thick and media looked great. Fram style bypass but not a leaker. Wide...

This Premium Guard was run on my Mustang for 5k with Valvoline EP 5w30. Didn’t take a lot of pics as it was as expected for a PG. No surprises, ADBV nice and pliable, made in Vietnam. Valvoline EP HM 5w30 and a Royal Purple synthetic went back in/on.

It's been bothering me for 20 plus years that I don't have a will. I have resolved to finally get it done. All I want is something simple and legal. I don't own a business anymore, own only the home I live in, kids are all out of the house. It's my understanding it can be done by an online...

The EcoGard store on Amazon is a good place to score random deals. If you're not familiar, the EcoGards are another variant of the excellent Premium Guard made filters. EcoGard S241 Members here have had good service from this store. Pricing is all over the map depending on size so you...

Post up the list of cars you’ve bought new. Note: No grumpy old man I would never buy a new car posts, not the point. For me: 1986 Chevrolet Eurosport coupe. 1991 Chevrolet Cavalier Sport 1996 Ford Ranger XL Then a lot of broke years followed by: 2018 VW Passat GT 2021 VW Jetta S 2023...

I was in Menards and noticed they had Dutch Boy paint which intrigued me. I usually use Valspar out of convenience but I don’t think it is anything special, although Lowe’s sure thinks so. I have some exterior trim and deck work to do and was curious if anyone here had experience with Dutch...

Smokey and the Bandit was just added to Netflix. I watched it tonight, what a fun trip down memory lane. Stupid movie. Absolutely perfect for a little break from the nutty world we are living in now. 😎 Trans Ams were “the car” to have for quite a while afterwards.

I’ve had this old Mopar for at least 10 years. It doesn’t fit anything I own anymore so I thought I’d post it here. Basically a Puro clone of the Motorcrafts of the era but with a nitrile ADBV. Everything was okay, pleat spacing not great and it appeared potentially primed to be one of the...

Phone deleted my first write up so this will be brief. 😡. Okay, user error. 😮 This OG Ultra was on my lawn tractor two seasons. I was surprised to find rust around the base plate. It was under a bunch of crud I rubbed off. Rest of filter was great as you would expect from an OG Ultra.

I’ve mentioned this in a couple of threads but thought I’d clarify it for any interested or who could benefit. Common knowledge here that a 3600 series equivalent is a good upsize for a 3614 size filter if you have the room. But the excellent Premium Guard 3600 series made filters come in two...

So I got in on the EcoGard (Premium Guard made) Amazon deal like many here. However when my filters came (properly boxed btw) they were not the same as others posted here so I thought I would share with the BITOG collective. This is a 3600/FL-400s equivalent. First of all, they are green! I...

I cut the TG3614 I took off the Mustang last night. Didn’t take a lot of pics because honestly not much to see here and we have a bunch of these on here already. It was pristine. Accidentally cut the date code but it was sometime in 23. Had more pleats than I expected, 46, and was chock full...

The wipers on the wife's Edge have been fantastic, but I decided at 7 years old I'd refresh them out of preventative maintenance. I bought a single fancy Michelin replacement at Wally's. Not only was I unhappy with the tiny, tiny diagrams and the Rubic's cube assembly of the fastener, it just...

Been a fair amount of discussion over Quaker States Ultimate Protection here. One of the points of discussion has been whether or not it was really any different from the full synthetic. From reviewing the PDS sheets and VOA's they look very similar, except the Ultimate had an MRV of about...

A few months ago, I spun a PH10575 on my wife's Edge without concern. I've used plenty of orange cans without any issues, and the filtration is above average for an entry level filter. Then I saw this thread: https://bobistheoilguy.com/forums/threads/fram-extra-guard-10575-cut-open.364330/...

With all the changes and buy outs that have hit oil filter manufacturing the last couple of years, I started looking around and like many here became interested in the Premium Guard filters. I was looking at their site today and noticed a few things I found interesting. First of all, Premium...
