    Shell Rotella T 15-40??

    I've always buy mine from Wally World. The store in my town carries both the dino and full synthetic flavors. WW has a little better (lower) price that AA did.

    AC Delco Poor Quality?

    Can't say for sure why dave1251. They may be an "ok" design. The ecore looks like it should have good flow characteristics. The PF13 was for a deisel tractor application and I want a heavy duty filter with a spiral core. Perhaps I will try an ecore on my car.

    AC Delco Poor Quality?

    I had to bring my AC Delco PF13 back to AA the other day. Made the mistake of not examining it in the store. It was an ecore and I am still not sold on that design. Went with a NAPA Gold. Sorry Delco... I had been loyal and faithfull for may years but you let me down

    Link to Oil Filter Specs Website

    Hi, At one time I thought I came across a link to a site that had the detailed specs for AC oil filters. Physical deminisions, pressure values etc. I want to do a comparison between a PF47 & PF52. If anyone has a link to that info please post. Thanks in advance. CodeJockey

    Supertech HM/WPP 'Mag1'...are they the same?

    I am using MAG-1 Full Synthetic 5w-30 in my Aveo. I can get it for (if I remember correctly) $2.95/qt on base. Based on my experience it is an excellent product. Especially when comparied to the cost of other full synthetics.

    valvoline maxlife syn

    sufstar is right. The SM rating is not in the circle where it normally is but is beside it in text. Maybe the did not time to have to logo updated bfore production. But I did not see the API starburst symbol that states: Certified for Gasoline Engines

    Lubricity of synthetic as good as mineral?

    I went back and looked at their product and statememt. The image of the oil bottle is SF/SG classification so obviously it probally is not up to date. Also they (Honda ATV) does not have their owners manual available for download so I cannot read what they recommend. I guess I will ask a wrench...

    Any magic bullets for increasing MPG?

    I hate to say it but yoy asked. Turn off the AC. I believe I heard that that can rob you of up to 15% of what you can get per gallon. You will probally create more "drag" if you roll the windows down but I'm sure you will still be more efficient that having the compressor engaged.

    Fram's not in boxes

    Just got back from Wally World and saw something strange. They were a bunch (at least a dozen) Fram PH46 or PH47 (can't remember which) on the shelf but were stacked two high on top of each other. Not in the boxes like the other Frams. Looked kinda strange. btw I don't use that brand, just an...

    Canister versus Cartridge

    I have to correct my original post. It was a Mercedes 220D and not a 180D that I had. It did have a rubber o-ring to seal the canister. I guess the o-ring was designed to be reused as I never had an issue with an oil leak from the seal and I probally performed a half dozen OC's before giving...

    Where Have You Seen KENDALL>?

    I know a lot of folks used to run it in their air cooled Harley Shovelhead motors. Straight 70 weight called Nitro 70. I also recall it having a very greenish tint. We used to call it "Nectar of the Gods"
