This is all talk lets stop arguing. someone just do a standard deviation probability test already. Anyway like i said 4 pages and 12 hours ago keeping track of who finds tears on which model numbers could actually be useful here.

Has anyone found this problem on the 10111 because I haven't seen it mentioned. As mentioned in other threads this issue may be model specific.

Awesome thanks. Are all puros affected by tears now? What about the synthetics?

Ahh I guess I should have looked closer. Strange because both cars were built in canada. But I guess the LS1 was built in USA most likely. Does anyone know what the larger sizes for the 10111 would be?

I tried buying a synthetic 10111 this evening, but of course that was the only single filter on the shelf that was sold out. I have a GM 3800 Series 2 in the firebird, it specs the 10111. I looked in the book at the 5.7L LS1 for the trans-am and it specs a 14006. I remember reading that I could...

it was probably coolant temp. which I guess doesn't tell you anything about oil temp. the other ones are battery and oil pressure.

yeah from the dash while I was on the way home. I wasn't about to hook it up to anything and try running it haha.. i left it on the road and came back a few hours later with 2+ gallons of coolant. it is fairly accurate though, it never has been over 210 in the time i've owned it. I did also...

not sure if it was oil temp or what, I know it was engine temp since the motor was running without any coolant for a minute or two. luckily I caught it in time and no seizure it seems to be fine still. Iron block GM 3.8L. glad it wasn't aluminum.

I put $30 worth of 5w30 M1 Syn High Mileage in, less than a week later I lost all the fluid in my cooling system on the road from a bad hose. Engine got up to about 260*F. Can the oil handle these temps, or is it in need of changing again. I can't smell a difference on the dipstick, but then...

why would they make both still? Also from some of the oil links i'm seeing the cages are only visible when you have it disassembled? http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y80/EMac1/3filters.jpg

How do you know which PF52's are not e-cores, I thought they switched over to E-cores years ago. That's why im still curious if anyone know's what the longer 10111 purolators are.

what would be the equivalent for puro 10111? now that M1 is $13 I think il just stick with the $10 puro syns or even cheaper P1's.

My GM 3.8L uses the puny M1-101 or purolator 10111. I put a oil filter on a escort ZX2 the other day that looked twice as big... Should I go up to a longer oil filter to get my money's worth? Just curious since I'm spending $10 on oil filters and they are identical prices regardless of size (for...

I've had a K&N for like 60k miles without issue but I'm thinking it's about time to replace it. Nothing lasts forever and I got my money's worth out of it. I'm just now reading alot of people saying they filter horribly though. I'm looking at a EAA83 to replace it which is nearly as much as my...

I put in a new pcv the old one had oil inside of it and around it everywhere. figured since this thread got so popular i'll show you someone who did the same thing I did, except their engine is alot worse and it was with regular oil from the local oil change shops. Also I'm eagerly awaiting the...

These seem legit! Im guessing they will be priced a step above pureones. Are they being sold yet? I havent seen them in any of my local stores yet (walmart autozone advancedauto) http://www.purolatorautofilters.net/products/oil_filters/Pages/SyntheticOilFilters.aspx I guess the new prefix is...

This might not be your exact engine but everything in the videos is accurate for what I've read on the internet. http://www.autorepairinstructions.com/?p=37 Most people use threadlocker blue (its like $6). I didn't use threadlocker on mine because I didn't want to have to shear the bolts off if...

Found some cheap "meijer brand" conventional oil that said API-SN. included a free purolator pure 1 and the oil was only $12. the filter is half as much as that? strange deal. Should I go with the meijer stuff? (grocery store)
