Hey folks, I wanted to pass on a problem and fix for a 2001 F150, 5.4L. At 70,000 miles to truck started to buck and miss intermittently. I thought it was water in the fuel. Added associated fuel treatments. No go. I thought fuel filter. Replaced it and no go. Turns out it was plugs. I was...

I hope you’ll find this interesting! Sorry for such a long, drawn out story. I have a 2001 5.4L F150 that has the infamous head gasket weep. I’ve used synthetic it’s whole life. Mostly M1, Amsoil XL or signature series, always 0 or 5W-20. The weep has always been there. From the start, it was...

I've started commuting about 20 miles roundtrip on my bike. I ride about 3 to 4 days a week and regularly lift weights and I’m having trouble maintaining my weight. Me jeans are getting loose. I eat a pretty balanced diet with lean meat, veggies, and carbs. I don’t mind leaning down some but I...

I recently checked the Purolator air filter on my 2001, 5.4L, F150 with about 3,000 miles and six months of service on the filter. When I looked inside, I saw that the pleats were distorted. From the outside, the filter looks fine. The filter fits well in the housing does not appear to be...

I have an 01 F150 with an oil filter in a hard to reach location. I always need a cup wrench to get the filter off. I don't have room for any other type of wrench. I'd like to try an Amsoil Ea-11 filter. Does anyone know if the end is crimped for a cup wrench? It doesn't look like it from the...

Amsoil's recent monthly mailer has a large section on Donaldson filters and their relationship with Donaldson. I wonder how long, if ever, it will be before Donaldson manufactures Amsoil’s filters instead of Baldwin? Speculation welcomed.

I've used Amsoil's PI several times and nearly immediately after adding the bottle and filling up with Techron, it seems like the engine idles smoother. I'm thinking that I'm noticing improved upper end lubrication caused by the PI versus cleaner injectors. What do you guys think? Is it safe...

Vehicle experience many short trips (< 2 miles ~50% of time). Towed 3,000 lb trailer for 300 miles. Air filter has about 6,000 miles on it and seems to be removing more dirt. Used a M1 oil filter. Any comments/observations are appreciated. Amsoil was old formulation. Blackstone's Comments: We...

I cut open a ST filter used on my girlfriend's 98, 2.2L, Legacy. Looks ok to me except for the bypass valve/plate. Seems to be a flat plate over several holes (no rubber seal). I guess the oil is supposed to travel between the metal surfaces to reach the holes in the top of the element...
