    Why fret over high-end filters anyway?

    More seriously, for the two posting after Gary Allen, if are you LOLing at me, it is very immature. That isn't what this is about. That happens earlier in life like in Jr. High. If I made fun of every point any of you, including GA, made wrongly, I could write a book on it that would outsell the...

    my first Topic and two question

    s 1. Isn't there a thread to talk politics AND religion around here? 2. How do I unregister from this thing, anyhow? 3. I guess I had no topics.

    PureONE or Motorcraft FL-820S?

    Was just asking myself this because the fl-910s is so short, and saw this: http://www.fordparts.com/Products/Filters.aspx So, no the element goes down around the bypass valve and isn't shorter. Not by much if it is. Also more and closer pleats means more flow area, not less.

    Pictures of a Sludged 2009 Murano with 15k

    It could happen if the engine ran cold and rich all the time. Classroom auto texts have pics like this. I have known people who drive to work a couple blocks, engine always on choke, always cold, week after week. Then there are the driveway moves in winter, none good for the engine. With engines...

    general consensus regarding Denso AM and Mann filt

    Finally, but now you hopefully can see what I was talking about. The logos are large, and quite distinctive in the new filter, on all sides, but your first one shows nothing on the can at all. That is all I was originally saying, everything looks different than what I have seen. I was about to...

    Why fret over high-end filters anyway?

    I just want the best filter that is tested to not ruin my engine. It seems not so simple as I first thought. People are showing results with pictures of big problems. One thing is not usually mentioned is pressure. Imagine being a 30 micron carbon particle. The 60psi oil pressure is going to try...

    Powermate Compressors

    The HD one is single stage, but the price is good. Sears has good deals usually. My experience on this size unit is I ordered one for my lab at a major research institution. I ordered the two stage, was about $1000 fifteen or more years ago, from Sears actually. They lab said it had to be put...

    general consensus regarding Denso AM and Mann filt

    Here we go again. The Toyota filter says Denso on it and except for the black adbv it is the same. In fact Toyota owns Denso. Interesting to pick on that when your filter shows no name at all. I didn't have time to search for pics of the First time fit Denso, they're out there, but not yours...

    general consensus regarding Denso AM and Mann filt

    This is what the Denso aftermarket looks like inside the can. The Japan made are a lot different with a sponge like medium: http://www.bobistheoilguy.com/forums/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=1756916

    Bosch Distance Plus cut open

    The threads have very little to almost no open flow area, and the small pressure differential between the inlet and outlet means there isn't a lot of pressure through the thread. I think so anyway.

    Oil in new filter?

    Maybe they brought their old drained filters in to "see if it fits." Then dirtied up the new filter a little and walked out. I have seen this at WM. A lady was looking at door locks for the longest time. I was next to her and she had her old door locks in a bag and opened boxes of new locks all...

    Will The Economy Ever Recover?

    An example of the rich getting richer, without doing anything for it: Bill Gates started Microsoft's stock dividend right after the lowered 15% tax on them was passed. He takes in about a hundred million per quarter just on this dividend. That's over a million dollars a day, 365 days a year. I...

    Will The Economy Ever Recover?

    Every time you buy a gallon of gas you pay taxes. I wish they would triple the tax on those making over 250k NET. People forget it is NET income. Wish I could have made that kind of money. I can't afford a 50k SUV, but there are sure a lot them running around to golf courses around here in the...

    No, it is too late. I hope SS lasts until I die is all.

    '10 Corolla 1.8 Purolator or AC Delco?

    I like the AC because it is like OE or maybe is the OE in AC box. But the Puro says USA so it is a tough one, and they are obviously differently designs. Can see why it is good to check those boxes in the store, how easy someone could switch. If there is a problem under warranty, and a dealer...

    HarborFreight Tools

    open end on one side, the other is a ring with 12 points that ratchets. I just bought them, I think sign said through this month. The other Ace near me doesn't have these but a larger black oxide set for $19.99.

    Memory Compatibility?

    Memory compatibility? Generally speaking, no it isn't. I find my memory is often not compatible with other posters around this site.

    HarborFreight Tools

    It seems HF is becoming the place to buy a tool first. Well, it is all over except for the shouting (China wins, makes everything.) I just bought yesterday a set of open/ratcheting box wrenchs at Ace, $9.99 for four Gearwrench, useful common sizes. Made in China. Very well made, nicely polished...
