Just did an oil change on my 2010 Highlander and use the PG5608EX from Rock auto (https://www.rockauto.com/en/moreinfo.php?pk=6839296&cc=1445187&pt=5340&jsn=17) the filter shows it has end caps on the photos but the one I received did not have end caps. Not sure what I think about the twisted...

Quick, cool video about Hengst Oil filters. I enjoyed it and I figured you all might as well. Link:

Not sure if this is the right thread for this or not, but my 'fun car' was totaled this past week. Was leaving a car show and an elderly lady pulled out in-front of me, the damage didn't look like it would total the car, but it did. Thankfully with the uptick in the used car market, I made a...

Did Walmart pick up and ordered a Fram Ultra air filter and I received what looked to be old stock. I called Fram and they informed me that they are the “exact same” as the new stock and I could run it for 4 years/40k miles. I’m skeptical because this one doesn’t come oiled like the new ones...

It’s been getting warm here in SC, and decided to do a ‘tune-up’ on my two year old lawn mower. Anyone else get there lawn mowers freshened up for another grass cutting season?

Looks like Fram is doing a full takeover in AAP, went in tonight looking for clearances oil (btw don’t waste your time, not many good prices) but the sales guy said that all carquest oil products will be transitioned over to Fram. Yes this includes oil filter, so I’m assuming the store brand...

Recently in good ole SC we have been having some chillier days and below freezing nights. On my daily driver (05 Honda), the cold starts have been slow, sounding like the battery is weakening. I went to AAP & OR today to get the battery checked and all their equipment told me was the battery was...

Is there much a difference between the two? From what I’ve seen 10W40 is mainly “conventional” and 0W40 is only synthetic. The quotation marks are because most conventional oils are actually blends, so not true conventional. I run an 0w40 in my Infiniti and didn’t know if 10W40 is also a viable...

Just installed a Fram ultra air filter in my Infiniti. From the looks of it, it looks like a good filter. Not much to report on it so far, I will periodically post up photos of it to see how it fairs over 40k miles or 4 years. The car doesn't get driven a lot, so it'll probably be 4 years before...

Not my personal car, but it was posted on a FB group and I figured some people here might want to see it. The description on the post is as follows: "Health report... . We sent an oil sample from NISMOBae to...

This has probably been beat to death, but this is a very recent video showing that changing the factory filter on your car does little to add any HP, even with FI and all the different types. At most you will gain 5 HP and once heat soak sets in, you will lose that 5. So, do whatever makes you...

I went into AAP and pick up an OC and I was getting a Mobil1 oil filter and I noticed there were two different boxes for the same filter. I opened them up and noticed that the design of the two was different. Both of them were M1 110A, but the base plate was different and the body on one of them...

Just ran across Castrol new plant based engine oil on Amazon. The only cert it carries API SN PLUS and GF-5, which doesn't surprise me. Do you guy think this is the way of the future or something that will be on clearance by the end of the year? Amazon Link

This video shows what the inside of an Lexus engine looks like after 220k hard miles. I think you'll be shocked by what you will see, go to the 13:50 mark in the video to see the engine.

Good Day BITOG'ers, I have an 05 Honda Accord with ~240k miles on it. I have had the car since it was ~140-160k miles, the first ever transmission fluid change to my knowledge was a year ago, and I changed it with Castrol Import ATF, it was just a drain and fill. I ran across some Valvoline...

I have noticed online that the PUP 5w30 ($36.xx) is $12 more than 5w20 ($24.xx). Is this always the case? If so, is the 5w30 a better quality base, or does it just not sell enough? LINK: https://www.walmart.com/search/?query=pennzoil%20ultra%20platinum%205w30&typeahead=pennzoil%20ultra%20...

I have a family member who just recently purchased a 2015 BMW X5 with 54k miles, the previous owners was the original owner and my family member is the second owner. The X5 has always been dealer maintained, and my family member just went into the dealer for an oil change and the tech stated...

I went online searching for a set of brake pads for my Infiniti and stumbled across some closeout sale Pep boys ‘ProStop’ ceramic pads for $6 a set on rockauto. So with shipping and everything it’d be like $20 OTD for front and back. I have never had any experience with pep boy pads, I figure...

I recently changed the air filter in my wife 2010 Hyundai Santa Fe. I had an Amazon special (EPAuto) filter and changed it out for a Purolator One air filter and let’s just say, they look IDENTICAL. It’s crazy because one is a $19.99 filter and the other is $8.97. Thankfully I only paid like $10...

My question is exactly what the title is. I have a 2010 Hyundai Santa Fe (2.4L) with 120k miles, I have been using QSUD and OEM filters for its changing since I purchased it at 100k. But Shell gas and truck is on clearance for $11 for 5 quart jugs and I have some speed perks. Do you think I...
