Well I know here in canada anyway, alot of walmart's oils are sold in 5 liter jugs where at most other parts places and canadian tire they are in 4.4l jugs.... I heard long ago walmart makes the companies make 5 liter jugs for them to sell because i'd rather buy 5 liters of oil for the samer...

Well i have always done it in my car along with everyone else i know, but like i asked before i am talking about a single cylinder briggs and stratton and see that some do not change it when using an extended size filter or a better made wix etc... To me i don't see the filter being totally used...

Give me some hard evidence to show that it's a bad thing to do? That's right you have none.... I am pretty sure though the engineers at GM, Ford, BMW etc... know a little bit more about engine oil, and filters then you and I do, and if they recommend it, it must be fine to do with their...

I was looking at the manual for the mower engine and it said to just pull up on the end and it should pull up... Well i tried it and it seems awfully stiff and don't want to break the intake tube... any suggestions? http://www.briggsandstratton.com/maint_r...=331777-1372-b1 The diagram is...

You can do whatever you want, but you don't need to create multiple threads to try and prove a point. You have no proof as due I how long an oil filter can last, but if multiple people do it in their cars and if manufactures recommend it, why not do it? There must be some R&D done to prove...

I give up.... He can't grasp the fact this is not 1975 anymore, Oil now is super clean and can last many more miles then oils of before. If ford recommends 7500mile changes, I would follow it. Even GM dealers even say come back when the oil life monitor says so, they seem to have faith in the...

I am not worried, I seen under valve covers of GM cars following oil life monitors taking them over 7000-8500 miles that have over 120,000 miles and more using regular dino oil and cheap filters and the heads look like new. No varnish, sludge.... Nothing. I ain't worried about my engine by going...

Well there is plenty of people who can go over 7500Miles on GM cars with the GM oil life monitor, with today's engines, Oil and filters I see no problem with it. My cousin just bought a new Ford ranger and the dealer said see you in 10,000 km's, since ford recommend;s 10000 clicks here in...

http://www.briggsandstratton.com/maint_r...ce_schedule.pdf Hmmm seems that even briggs and stratton recommends changing the filter every second oil change or once a season.

considering I am in canada, there is no cheap briggs oil filters anywhere, I found an el cheapo filter but it was still 10 dollars.... 10 dollars is a little extreme for a dinky filter when the one for my car is 6 for a wix filter. I'd dare say an engine running for 50 hours or an engine...

I will more then likely be using the QS straight W30 for the mower, just thinking with the increased size of the filter, being over double the B&S size running a 50 hour OCI, the fiter would probably easy last 100 hours on an OCI. Seeing in other threads members going 75-100 hours without...

I will be using a fl400 motorcraft filter and probably be using troy built sae30 or quaker state sae 30 oil, about 4.29 a liter for both. Does it have to be non detergent oil? I will probably only change the filter every second oil change, with the motorcraft filter changing it every oil change...

Just bought a new husqvarna yth2042 ride on and what would be a good oil to use? they say straight w30 should be used or a 5w30 synthetic... I see some here seem to use rotella etc... I also notice some using a 400s filter, will it work with no harmful effects? Good suggestions on oil? I want...

Going out on a lengthy trip soon, was wondering if i should add some redline or lucas UCL to every tank on my travels to improve mpg.... I am going to change the oil before i go, putting my summer tires back on, 34psi in each.... Just wondering what else could improve my mpg alng the way.

Bought 5 jugs of maxlife atf for the 04 taurus the other day, flushing it next week. 18 bucks for a 5L jug here in canada. Wicked deal...

Anyone know where to purchase a magnefine in canada?
