    2024 Outback(2.4L)

    Yes it is the black Roki, p/n 15208AA20A. I found it funny that when I picked up the Outback I checked the oil and it was 1/2 to 3/4 of a Qt over full from the factory(picked up the car with 8 miles on it), the service department told me that's the way they come from the factory. Rod

    How often do you check or replace your air filter ?

    I put 90k miles on my first air filter and I got 88.7k miles on this one. I change the air filter at six years or when my restriction gauge shows I have a restriction. So far in a little over 12 years and 200k miles the air filter's(two) has yet to show a restriction. I check the filter every...

    88,700 miles on my S2000 air filter

    I do not. I had the used oil tested three times all before the engine had 100k miles. I did this mainly to see the wear numbers. Back then I ran M1 10/40 high mileage but when they changed the formula I went to a frankenstein brew of 4 qts M1 0/40 and 2 qts of M1 0/50 racing oil. I did get one...

    We went on drives in the 13 western states and the two western providence's of Canada with the first air filter. We added 30 states and three more providence's of Canada with this air filter. We just won't take our S down south to Mexico, we still have to many things to see here. As you know we...

    What are we doing with ourselves if were mandated to stay at home?

    I suggest reading the Kama Sutra with your significant other. If your like my wife and I you will laugh(that ain't going to work) to cry(why did we try that) to that was fun as heck(lets do that again). Beats cutting down a tree or washing the car any time. Rod

    210,000 miles on one air filter

    "Effects of OEM vs K&N air filters on various engine parameters"

    Sure there is. If you can't measure any restriction because of the air filter(not talking whole intake) there is no loss of hp at wot even at red line. I could put a K&N on my car and not get any more power. I could mount the air filter off my old 14L diesel on same car and not gain any hp even...

    "Effects of OEM vs K&N air filters on various engine parameters"

    If the stock air filter puts no restriction(as shown by a air filter restriction gauge) how can a filter that flows more cfm make more power? If the engine is getting 100% of the air it wants with no restriction, putting a larger filter on it won' t get you more hp. If someone on here can show...

    Jeep Wrangler 3.0L Diesel

    FCA couldn't sell the '19 model year truck with the 3.0 diesel so now you can get one at $20,000 off sticker price. Some poor schmuck went and paid $47,000 for his truck three months ago and now you can go buy the same truck for $27,000. I'd be mad as [censored] if I was that schmuck because my...

    Mobil 1 15W50, 6k mi OCI, 21.6k mi, C7 Corvette Z06

    The only way a 15w-xx oil would be a problem at 5F is if as soon as it fired up you took it to red line. Good looking UOA. Rod

    Oil choice for highly modified Japanese turbo 4cyl

    My S2000 red lines at 8600 rpm and my oil gets hot(just the stock oil heater/cooler) when on the track. I have 165k miles on my S and for the last few years(45k miles) I've ran a 50/50 mix of M1 0/40 fs and M1 0/50 racing oil. The racing oil has a great anti-wear package(actually to strong for a...

    2019 Camaro SS PUP 0w-40 3.7k miles

    If the wear metals go up in the next couple of M1 oil changes I'd switch back to the PUP 0W/40 and see if the wear metals go back down. If they do, PUP 0W/40 it is. Rod

    2017 Corvette / Mobil 1 ESP 0w40 / 5.2k mi

    Wear numbers look good, but if you want to lift the viscosity a little just add 2 or 3 qt's of M1 0/50 racing oil. Big shot of moly with a higher dose of ZDDP, calcium, Boron. Even has a TBN of 8 Rod
