Anyone installed one of these on a 3.6L Pentastar? https://www.northridge4x4.com/part/oil-filters/ms-201-bk-baxter-performance-cartridge-to-spin-on-oil-filter-adapter

Just switched my 2016 Jeep Wrangler (3.6L) over to 5W-30 after the infamous oil cooler failed and I replaced it with the Dorman aluminum one. That engine is around 70K. Now that I've replaced the dadgum rocker bearings, tappets, etc. on my 2014 Grand Cherokee (same engine) at 127K miles, I'm...

About to change the oil in my "slightly used" Grand Cherokee. I've got 6 quarts of Mobil 1 5W-20 laying around...any recommendations? What about filter? I was thinking about a K&N. LINK: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00S0W6BIK/ref...=I13MJBUYGIS90J What say you, forum?

Anyone every heard of burning through roughly 3 quarts of oil in 5.67 months/5104 miles? I know she's usually down .5-1 quart about every 7,500 miles, but THREE QUARTS!?!?! I drove about an hour at 80pmh yesterday and just before I turned the engine off, I saw the oil light flicker. I...

Okay, as stated in my sig block, I use Mobil 1 5W-20 along with a Mobil 1 filter with an 8K OCI. I switched over from a vehicle lifetime Kendall Syn Blend (5K OCI) around 95K (Now at 135K). Blackstone has given me pretty good reports since I started sending them in at the Mobil 1 switch...aside...

I'm going to take over my mom's oil changes. She's got around 130K on her Honda. To my knowledge she's been doing the 3K mile, conventional oil change. She only puts about 4K miles per year on the van (she's 69). I was thinking about changing to either Mobil 1 Full Synthetic or Pennzoil Ultra...

Bought a used 2011 Buick Enclave with 57K. According to the maintenance records left in the glove box, the previous owner used Mobil 1 synthetic. I'm sure the stealership didn't put in standard oil when they brought the vehicle in and I'm going to swap it out soon. I've always used Mobil1 in my...

I am continuing to prepare my '05 Mazda Tribute i (4cyl) for its journey to 200k. Today's question is to flush or not to flush the tranny. The engine has 100K miles and the tranny has 89K as it was replaced at 11K. I pulled the stick last night and it’s a little darker than my '05 Pathfinder...

Apparently, I'm lucky enough to own a 2005 Nissan Pathfinder LE...the single year between 2000-2009 with the worst maintenence record. LINK: http://www.carcomplaints.com/Nissan/Pathfinder/ (one of MANY sources) Apparently the top issues are: #1 - Radiator cracks and leaks into tranny (class...

My Mazda has had an engine tap/knock for years now. I don't hear it when I'm driving and oddly enough there are days when it's quiet and knock free. I found this video on youtube of a Ford Escape that sounds pretty similar to my knock. I just hit 100K and had a clean UOA done on the engine...

I have a 2005 Mazda Tribute i (4cyl) and a 2005 Nissan Pathfinder LE (6cyl) I recently had an oil analysis completed on both with the following silicon results and I'm being advised that dirt may be getting through. Suggestions? PATHFINDER SILICON #'S ME: 48 UNIVERSAL AVERAGE: 18 TRIBUTE...

I'm using a K&N Air Filter on both my Pathfinder and Tribute and got similar silicon reports. Is it the area I live in? Should I clean them more often? Is K&N really as good as they say? http://www.bobistheoilguy.com/forums/ubb...132#Post2961132 2005 Mazda Tribute i (4cyl) Oil Use Interval...

Just received my oil analysis AND an interesting email in response to my question about syntetic vs. syntetic blend. 2005 Nissan Pathfinder v6 Oil Use Interval: 5,542mi Oil: Kendall synthetic blend 5W-30 (just changed to Mobil 1 full syn after collection) First, the report: This is a nice...

Just received my oil analysis AND an interesting email in response to my question about syntetic vs. syntetic blend. 2005 Nissan Pathfinder v6 Oil Use Interval: 5,542mi First, the report: This is a nice report for your Pathfinder as it crosses the 100,000-mile mark. Wear metals are low and...

I had a tranny service at 60K and now at 100K, I'd like to drop the pan and have the filter changed. I've heard that flushing a transmission at 100K for the first time could destroy the tranny. What say you, forum?

Been a long time lurker and now I’ve signed up to make my first post… So, I’ve been using Kendall synthetic blend and Firestone’s filter for the last 50K. I have the oil changed about every 5Kmi. Well, I just hit 100K and decided, “Why on earth aren’t I changing my own oil?” So, I went to the...
