    Prefilling Oil Filters & How many Changes until all old oil is gone

    Driving a "domestic" vehicle I just do the clear flood method and then let off the pedal from the floor while it's still cranking after 5 or so seconds. The ECU in my van keeps it cranking until it starts or until the time out period like 20 seconds later. So 5 seconds or so I think is enough, I...

    Prefilling Oil Filters & How many Changes until all old oil is gone

    I'm not saying hot is better, I too change the filter every second change. Everytime I look at the Filter cartridge in my PentaStar it looks clean and prestine. I'm using the Fram Ultra though and not a standard filter and it's changed well before what Fram puts on the box. Never been an issue...

    New engine design - 500cc / 120 HP / Modified 2 Stroke

    This and the one I posted above kind of made me thing of an Air Conditioning Compressor I had seen an autopsy of. But I hadn't seen it used in a combustion engine setup.

    Prefilling Oil Filters & How many Changes until all old oil is gone

    I've always done it that way, and also let it drain for a good long time while I do other stuff on the car like check tire pressure, top up washer fluid, have my cup of coffee, chat with the neighbour, finish the overall general check etc.

    Prefilling Oil Filters & How many Changes until all old oil is gone

    I thought this video was kind of interesting visual information: It shows how quickly a dry oil filter, will fill up with oil upon cranking RPM (Much slower than it would be with running RPM) How many times it might take filling an engine with fresh engine oil to displace all old oil left in...

    Amsoil 0w30 European - 3.5 HTHS and personal health report

    I actually just came across this video and while it's directed more toward folks like me that have Spinal Cord Injury and severe chronic back pain, they do mention other folks with neuropathic pain. It really gave me more information on the subject and I thought I'd share it here for anyone else...

    Amsoil 0w30 European - 3.5 HTHS and personal health report

    Thanks for the information. I appreciate it. Good to hear the battery change isn't that involved. I think it's amazing we have all this technology today. I did find this video that explains what it would be.

    Amsoil 0w30 European - 3.5 HTHS and personal health report

    Thank you. Yeah nerve pain is a terrible thing. Especially from Spinal Cord damage. Whole new respect for those dealing with chronic pain. It's one of those things you just have to experience to understand, and once you do, it's something that you wish you never got to experience.

    Thanks Pablo. It has been a real struggle but I'm through most of it now... Just have to get the neuropathic pain under control and I'll be golden.

    Amsoil 0w30 European - 3.5 HTHS and personal health report

    I gotta or this would eat me alive. There is a high rate of depression and the serious life altering effects (keeping it family friendly here) that it can lead to. They actually find you a therapist before discharge so that there is a support system in place because it's such a problem. I just...

    Amsoil 0w30 European - 3.5 HTHS and personal health report

    Unfortunately, no. It's pretty well set in stone at this point. There can be minor changes over time but it's marginal at best and also quite rare. I'm ok with where I ended up because I can do most things just in different ways.

    Amsoil 0w30 European - 3.5 HTHS and personal health report

    In my Physio/Rehab they said it was the first time they heard that this was a goal for someone to work towards. Most asked about how to get back in their wheelchairs if they fell, but no one wanted to intentionally get down on the ground / floor and then get back into their chair on purpose and...

    Amsoil 0w30 European - 3.5 HTHS and personal health report

    Yeah the reason I went XL 5W30 was the 3.3 HTHS. As the Signature is lower in the 5w30 / 0w30 both of which I tried and my PentaStar seems to favour the better HTHS so that is why I like the fact that European 0w30 is 3.5 HTHS which is even better than the 5w30 XL but with a better cold flow rating.

    Amsoil 0w30 European - 3.5 HTHS and personal health report

    It has been a long year of recovery and while I was reading here I wasn't posting much because of time doing other things like attending medical appointments, rehab/physio etc. It's a full time job just keeping up on all this stuff.
