Got the air filter housing open on my '03 Accord 4 cyl. The filter that I have to replace it does not have the large tab that is part of the original filter. This tab like thing is on the side of the filter that is toward the middle of the motor, not the fender side. Has anyone replaced their...

I just put the larger Napa 1344 (Wix 51344) on my '03 Accord 4 cyl. Fits just fine. I had only changed oil once before and I thought I remembered there being minimal space there for a larger filter, but I was wrong. There is plenty of space. So now I've got to buy a load of those Wix filters...

Has anyone with a 4 cylinder '03 Accord successfully installed a Napa Gold 1344 or Wix 51344? I have only changed my oil once in this car so far, but if I remember correctly there was not a lot of room for extra length of a filter. I put a 1334 on last time. Anybody know for sure if there is...

Hi We're considering a 2000 Toyota Sienna as our next minivan. That's got the 3.0 v6. Is that a motor that is considered a 'sludge monster'? All the reviews that I read were good, but thought I'd check with you guys on the motor. Thanks in advance for all help.

I don't post too often because you guys know way more than I do. But I love reading this board. Anyway, several questions: Does the German Castrol that everyone is whipped up about, only come in 0W-30? And if so, would I be able to use it in my '03 Accord with the 5W-20 specified? I look for it...

Does anyone know what the shelf life is of the average oil sold in one quart containers? I decided to switch to Castrol GTX after reading the UOAs for it here. It also happens to be on sale now at Advance for 50 cents off a quart. So I already bought two cases (savings - $12). If I buy more, I...

Since I'm too technically challenged to add anything to this forum except questions, I thought I'd share my technique for changing oil. So for all you OCDers out there, here goes. After getting the front of the car elevated, I remove the plug and leave it out for five to ten minutes. Then I put...

Seems like there are at least three ways of measureing oil filters: flow, filtering ability, and construcion of the filter. Considering those three things, what would be your top two filters?

Still consider myself fairly new here. This has become my favorite forum to read. Anyway, enough butt kissing. I'm looking at the spec sheets for Castrol GTX and Syntec Blend and comparing them. In particular I'm looking at Viscosity, cSt 100C and Viscosity, cSt 40C numbers. I'm assuming that a...

I'm new to this board, so I don't know all the discussions that have taken place here. And I don't know nearly as much about oil as most of you, but I love oil discussions and the thought of finding the 'perfect oil'. Anyway, what do you all think of the synth blends. Seems that much of the...

I'm new to this group. Thought I knew something about oil, but after reading some of these posts, it seems I don't know much. Can someone please explain the different Groups (GroupII, or III ect....) to me. I think I figured out UOAs. Thanks for your help.
