2nd oil change on a Nissan kicks. I thought I’d see a lot of sparklies as the first change was full of glitter but nothing visible this time. Car has 5k miles on it I now. Other than it’s sooo small the ST6607 looked great. No ripples and no light seen through the ADBV with a flashlight.

Grok says BlueDriver Bluetooth Pro OBDII Scan Tool is good for this. Anybody have any recommendations?

Off an inline filter mount in transmission cooler line on my Ram 1500. 30,700 miles. Replaced it with a pH8 for now. Sending a sample in to determine if I should replace the fluid yet or not.

Off my Moms Chevy Spark. She only drove like 1k miles in a year. It sorta feels wrong changing it cuz the oil and filter are like new. She has a warranty though so gotta do the mileage or go by time for record keeping. Passed the light test and was solidly constructed. ADBV was fine and held...

Ran this filter with Quakerstate Ultimate Protection 5w30 in my 2020 Ram 1500 Hemi for 7k. There was some gritty sludge in bottom of the can. The Few ocis before this were all with Quaker state FS and a qt of Rislone so maybe it’s some broken up carbon from that or maybe the Ultimate Protection...

This is the factory installed filter off a little nissan 1.6 L. About 2k miles. Said Gonher on it and made in Mexico. The oil was full of glitter but just some specks in filter media. Coulda been a decent filter except the louvers were pretty bad. Most were open just a bit and several were not...

There seems to be several applications of PG filters for $2.93 with free shipping from home depot. I think this is a good deal. I ordered 5 and is supposed to be at my door in a couple days...

In service for 9kmiles in a 2019 grand caravan. Disappointed cuz I’ve had many great NO fails with this filter. Actually this is my only failed oil filter of any kind that I’m aware of.

Left this in 4 a second oci in wife’s ‘19 grand caravan. Little wavy but not bad. 10 miles short of the 20k it’s supposed to be rated.4

Mothers car all short trips for 10 months. Dunno miles on filter for sure. I think I left it on longer than it’s meant to be in use. She drove more than I anticipated. It held up fine though but looks pretty loaded up on the dirty side. Oil was super tech Advaced 0w20. Another st filter and st...

This is a second inline filter I put in the return line from the cooler on a 2019 grand caravan with a 62te transmission. This transmission was rebuilt right around 100k miles and now has 124k miles. I had put a Raybestos in there before I took it to the transmission shop in case there was any...

Off a 2012 yaris. I just hacked the dome end open with tin snips. Really just care about looking at the pleats. I did cut and stretch the media out to look and there wasn’t much of anything caught. The ADBV was still flexible. 5k + miles and probably 3 month or so. Oil was super tech sb and a...

It is a 2.7 diesel. My sister had it shipped used from Japan to use as a mail truck here in the states. Can’t find anything in English to reference the correct parts. It was called the Terrano in Japan and the Pathfinder already in the US then but there were no diesel engines sold in the us...

This is my last old Microgreen. It was a pain to cut into with a screwdriver, hammer and tin snips. I always just hack into filters my used filters this way no problem but the old microgreens were on a different level as far as build quality. Love the big ole spring. I usually cut an opening out...

About a quart 1/2 of Maxlife atf is mixed in there with factory fill. I had installed a remote mount spin on filter mount in cooler return line. Filter holds a quart of fluid and I topped the pan off. Can’t remember which one but it’s the older Fram ultra style FL1A size. I dunno if maxlife...

Box says wix but the minder is labeled made byDonaldson. It’s pretty much self explanatory. Just drilled an 11/16 hole on the clean side. Sanded the drilled area lightly with fine sand paper. Stuck the rubber grommet in and seated the minder stem into the grommet. Vacuumed the box and all out...

Got this filter on disount section. Seems ok. Didn’t twist like some do. Pleats are not perfect but ok in my opinion.

Did y’all ever find out what the real micron ratings were for these. 5um,10um specifically? I found some older ones at a Walmart and grabbed one to put in my transmission cooler line. I’ll use it for like 10k or so and the put the magnifine back in. My Ram 1500 has the most expensive atf I’ve...

What is it that leads some engine makes to have more iron wear in UOAs? Is it different metals used in camshafts or cylinder walls? I’ve noticed my rams Hemi and wife’s 3.6 pentastar produce higher iron wear metals in UOA than our toyota and Mazdas. Also the old Yukon with vortec seems like it...

New to me is this Castrol Transmax full synthetic multi vehicle fluid that is cheaper than Valvoline maxlife and covers about as wide a variety of applications. They claim it is approved for MERC LV and DEX VI and suitable for just about everything under the sun even both ATF+4 and ZF Ligeguard...
