Just thought I'd share some feedback from a recent experience I had when purchasing oil filters from fleetfilter.com. BLUF, fleetfilter is a top-notch company that provides exceptional customer service. Their prices are great and my filters were delivered promtly and in perfect condition. It's...

Can someone provide the link to the post that described how to interpret the date codes stamped on Wix/Napa Gold/Carquest Premium oil filters? I have searched for this post, however the link I found is no longer functioning.

As I've seen posts on this forum from several people that own the current generation Camry I thought I'd ask if anyone has went to a larger size tire on this car? Specifically I'm looking at a 235/55x16 as a replacement for the 215/60x16. The 235 would be almost the same diameter, but would be...

I've read several threads on BITOG that discuss the short center tubes that appear in Purolators and some other oil filters ... I haven't been able to locate any explanations for this apparent defect. See below example for illustration. Pure One short center tube I was considering trying a...

After reviewing the Toyota factory fill UOA's below ... Factory Fill 1.8l Factory Fill 1.8l Factory Fill 3.4l ... it appears that their factory fill oil isn't anything special. I've read all the arguments for changing the factory fill early ... does anyone have any counterpoints for...

I really like the original Rain X washer fluid, and I'm considering using thier 'De-Icer' version for the upcoming winter, but I'm concerned that it may be too harsh on a car's paint. What do you all think? Rain X De-Icer

Sure, we know the price of crude has been steadily increasing ... but now I read this blurb posted by an individual at Edmunds Town Hall/Toyota Camry Owners Club that states much higher prices for OTC motor oil in the near future. Seems that the motor oil manufactures have done pretty well in...

I recently purchased a new 2005 Toyota Camry and was somewhat amazed at the lack of recommended maintenance for it (as prescribed in the provided Scheduled Maintenance Guide). For example; the first recommended air filter change is at 30,000 miles/36 months. Now the manual does recommend...

I recently sent the following inquiry to WIX: I've been a long-time fan of WIX oil filters ... when Dana, parent company of Wix filters, announced on 8 July 2004 that the buyout firm Cypress had agreed to purchase the aftermarket parts portions of Dana, I was concerned that the quality of WIX...

I don't see the original Mobil 1 synthetic mentioned on Mobil's oil product page (here): Mobil oils Is Mobil phasing out their original synthetic with the intent that the new EP will replace it entirely? I apologize in advance if this has been covered before ... did a search and came up negative.

I agree with you, Mobil 7500 sounds like a great deal, but where does this information come from? I haven't read anything like this on the Mobil website?

Well it's happened, I've caught the BITOG bug. I really like WIX filters and decided today to travel to NAPA and CARQUEST to examine their filters. I can now confirm that the WIX 51334, CARQUEST Premium Blue 85334, and NAPA Gold 1334 are identical. Bypass in the threaded end, silicone ADBV, same...

After reading about this mythical elixir here on BITOG over the past year+, I finally located GC 0w-30 in Biloxi, MS today. Unfortunately I'm not in the market for this oil now. Picked up some of the discontinued Mobil Drive Clean Plus Syn Blend "High Mileage" formula (10w-30) for my 98 Civic to...

After reading the oil viscocity specs for the Euro Acura I became curious as to what's recommended in the Civics up north, especially since like Europe CAFE doesn't apply. 96 or newer civic specs would be good, preferably a pic just like the Acura post.

Matt, I also have a Honda Odyssey and doing 6 month oil changes with M1 ... what oil filter do you use? Thanks, Aaron

What's most important? I know this topic has been discussed in great detail, still don't know what's most important. Some interesting details: PureOne: - 86% efficient at 10 microns and larger (website) WIX: - 90% efficient for 29 microns (email from techrep) PureOne: - Flow 3 GPM (tech book at...

Anyone have specs, specifically micron efficiency ratings, for Honda's Toyo Roki OEM filters?

Are there actually two part numbers for the new Honda oil filter? I've read posts that indicate such and that the A01 is Filtex and the A02 is Fram. I know that honda had three sources for the previous version of its universal oil filter but I believe they all shared the same part number. If...

Just got the Castrol spec sheets, pour numbers are pathetic. Syntec and Syntec blend 5w-30 is -27F!?! What's the story behind this?
