After recently opening a Wix 57055XP, i also decided to purchase some OEM filters to see what was doing in them. These are the newer blue filters on the market that do not say ENGINE on them, instead they have the part number, date code and Made in USA videojetted onto the end. I also uncrimped...

Evening everybody! I ordered two oil filters for my new Subaru Impreza from Rockauto and one arrived dented. I knew not to use it but after it was replaced I decided to open it up by uncrimping the double seam. FWIW the Wix 57055XP has the higher (oem) bypass specification from Subaru than...

Howdy - Just agreed to buy this 26' class C RV from my in-laws and I need some help from the hive mind on catch-up maintenance as well as issues to look out for. It's a 1989 Lindy 2600, built on a Ford Econoline 350 chassis. 460 V8, C6 three speed transmission. Definitely needs some TLC...

Spotted Sparky the Cabrio this morning on the JFX. Just as we pulled away from the light at Fayette Street, I noticed the black Cabrio in front of me looked like ah, shall we say... attempting to excrete its muffler. But only succeeded in producing a nice shower of sparks. I quickly overtook it...

Hi folks. I mostly lurk and read here on BITOG, but I just got my UOA back for Schaeffer 9000 5w40 from my Golf TDI back and thought I'd crosspost it here from TDIClub (where I'm much more active). Following up from my previous two UOAs on VW 507.00 LL3 5w30 oil, I decided to buck the book and...
