This Forte uses the same filter my 2016 Sorento used, and since it has the 2.0 Theta II engine, then it may be a time bomb waiting to go off. That may explain the metal on the drain plug magnet. Many thousands of the Theta II 2.0 and 2.4 engines have been replaced under warranty and/or recall...

Agreed, The closest Rural King to me occasionally has the Mobil 212A and 114A on sale for $7.99, which beats all of the others around me by a fair margin. Ace Hardware sometimes has a $10 off $20 coupon, which can bring the Mobils down to about $10.99 apiece.

And to further mix it up, Wix just announced they're laying off about 20% of their workforce. Wix the website builder, that is.

Same bypass valve PSI setting?

A friend mentioned they'd seen a few Supertech ST12060 on the shelf at their local WallyWorld. Reviewing older threads, seems like they're not bad per se, and maybe there are some who really like them, but are they worth picking up for my 2023 Equinox for $3.48 apiece? I've been hoovering up...

Good catch, I missed that. Thanks for pointing that out.

I agree completely. Just wondering if the XP is made from unobtainium or something like it.

This is what I see:

This is more of a gripe, but I was wondering if anyone else has noticed this. Looking at the PF63 and PF64 equivalents sold at Walmart, I find myself looking at their pricing and kind of agreeing with them, since Walmart's prices tend to mirror the market in general or do better (i.e. lower...

Thought I would pass on an interaction I had with K&N about their filters. What I sent: Hi there. I am learning as much as I can about your SO-2011 product and evaluating it as a possible solution for my 2017 Chevrolet Traverse. The current spec for this car is the AC Delco PF63/PF63E which...

Mobil > Highline Warren > PGI > VAFI/AFI. Makes perfect sense 😄

That's an awesome find.

The odd thing to me is that I can't find any data saying HW has manufacturing facilities in South Korea. They have about 21 factories in the USA, that's pretty easy to establish. I'm reminded of Apple. They designed the chips in their phones/tablets, it's their intellectual property, if the...

It just blows my mind they are not marking them down at all ("Old price = $5.99, New price = $5.99"), but they're still somehow selling when moved to clearance. Mind games I guess.

At a few of the local stores, I have noticed that they've been stealth clearancing out some of the Frams and Supertechs. By that I mean putting some of them in the clearance aisle with yellow stickers showing the unreduced list price on them. Seems an odd way to go, but they do seem to...

Seems like a slow post day, so I thought I'd post some differences between a made in USA model and a made in Mexico (I think?) version of the Fram FS12020. I never noticed how different they were TBH, from physical differences to where the date code is stamped (hard to read on both of them) and...

From the sound, the shop that replaced the engine said it sounded like a main bearing got starved of oil under heavy acceleration. But he made it plain that a forensic investigation would incur more charges. I just needed my car running sooner than later.

On the flip side, I wonder sometimes if the engine failed in my 2017 Traverse after I installed a Motorcraft FL500S due to it being the only one on the shelf at the time, and it was identified as a cross for the Fram higher-end 10575's I usually bought (still is, AFAIK). What with the reported...

Purolator assimilation nearing completion.

Yep! I feel foolish.
