    Is there any amsoil bypass vs frantz TP bypass

    Forget using the expensive filters, I use toilet paper, Scott's 1000. Makes great campfire starters. No, it doesn't break down. Sure, toilet paper breaks apart when you flush it, but have you ever tried flushing a whole roll? Hundreds of layers thick even the thinnest paper is very strong...

    Amsoil EaO15K09 filter for Toyota Corolla

    Yeah, I saw that. It just doesn't say much about the actual problem. What it doesn't tell me is if I even need to be concerned at all. Is this something that happens to cars that aren't taken care of? Does this happen to cars that don't have O2 sensors changed? Air filters? I don't buy the idea...

    Amsoil EaO15K09 filter for Toyota Corolla

    Where might I find that bulletin? Unless you mean that [censored] generic thing that Amsoil sent out that didn't really say anything useful.

    Amsoil EaO15K09 filter for Toyota Corolla

    I've had Amsoil 5w-30 in my Corolla since 500 miles back in 2005. With 140,000 miles today, it's still just fine and I am completely satisfied. Recently, Amsoil discontinued the EaO09 filter which I used on the Corolla and instead specified a Donaldson filter which is only specified for 7500...

    B. and S. Oil Filters: Better Ones Around?

    When I worked at Lowe's, the specifications for v-twins showed like 4 psi.

    Equivalent Amsoil Filter for a Briggs V-Twin

    I'm looking for the equivalent Amsoil EaO filter that will fit the standard Briggs and Stratton riding mower engines. Lowe's is selling filters for like $20. If I'm going to pay that much, I'd rather have an Amsoil on there. Thanks

    B. and S. Oil Filters: Better Ones Around?

    I wish I could find something with better than a 29 micron rating.

    B. and S. Oil Filters: Better Ones Around?

    I guess the subject says it all, I am looking for oil filters (I guess air too) for less than the $12 or $20 Lowe's would charge me. Is there an automotive filter that will fit? I have a 26 HP Extended Life Series V-Twin, essentially the same filter as everything else. I used to work at Lowe's...

    Amsoil TSO 0wx30

    I use the good stuff in all my small engines, but that's probably because I don't feel like actually buying the other stuff. The little ones just start up so easy with the good stuff.

    How well do oil coolers work

    I was thinking about buying a sportster and was pondering this very question. I think you guys need to think outside the box, dont buy traditional aftermarket or Harley specific parts, think up something a little more useful. There is a little (like 6" square) tranny fluid cooler out there that...

    Question for the board on how long my car will last using synthetic oil

    Question, how on earth is a radiator gonna mess your cam? I can understand overheating or pieces of the radiator plugging up the water passages, but a piece large enough to do that will never get into the engine, because the radiator would need that piece to keep the water in. Beside that, I'd...

    Oil for Honda 3 wheeler.

    I've used the Amsoil 10w40 motorcyle oil in an 85 200 I think and it is still running beautifully, that is when you can get the pull cord to work.

    Anyone loyal to one brand of oil?

    I'd say UOA's are great, but there are so many factors to consider, you'd have to take a very wide average to get an accurate understanding because you'd get slightly different results from each engine, each brand, each driver and each season. Certainly, there are are a number of good oils...

    Anyone loyal to one brand of oil?

    My dad raised me up with Valvoline and Havoline, and I used that in my cars and QS in my bike until I discovered Amsoil, now I have Amsoil in everything. 10w40 motorcycle oil, gear oil, grease, fork oil, 5 or 10w30 for the Corolla, 10w40 in the pickup that has bad valve guides and smokes when...

    synthetic vs earth oil MPG

    I have noticed that synthetics give noticeably better mileage, but much more so when there is some factor like a tail wind. Was in my 2005 Corolla, drove from NM to AR in one day, with a 40 mph tail wind, Amsoil 10w30 w/ Ea filter and ATF. Got 46 mpg on that one tank, and some nice views of...

    TEST/ DEMO - the story on additives

    This is exactly my point, if it works well, what does it matter if it foams? What does it matter if it doesnt cling? How exactly does this test prove anything whatsoever? If a tree falls in the forest and no one is around to hear it, does anyone care?

    TEST/ DEMO - the story on additives

    Ok, but I have a question. I dont know if you all have seen those little plastic gear thingies that Lucas uses to show how effective their oil is at clinging to the gears, they are similar to the ones used in this test, only plastic and hand powered. They of course had one with regular oil and...
