    Different filter numbers identical size? (Pictures

    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...

    Engine temp reached 260* is oil bad?

    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...

    "Is bigger better"?

    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...

    AMSOIL Ea is the best?

    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...

    M1 vs Edge

    what are everyones opinions between these two? edge made some pretty outlandish claims of its wear protection over M1. I just noticed my walmart did a rollback on 5qt jugs of Edge down from $34 to $26.5 to make it worth looking at. M1 is still $22. I could care less about the $4.5, if edge is...

    M1 5w30 burnoff

    I've been using the 5qt walmart jugs of Mobil 1 5w30 (are these any worse than the regular) for $25, and I am always missing literally quarts of oil everytime i change the oil. I change it appx. every 3-5k miles, and do mostly city driving with a fair amount of agressive engine revving. I...
