What's the difference between the EAO51 filter and my old favorite, fits everything I own EAO57? Same WIX filter cross-references to both.

Got around to changing the ATF fluid in my daughter's '07 RAV4. It has a wonderful drain plug (and dipstick), once you get the plastic bottom cover off. Got the Toyota WS ATF at the Stealership. Only $3.48 a quart - a real bargain for these guys. Doing the unscientific 'how fast does it pour...

I've been using the old FP on my 2000 Honda VFR (800cc/V4) engine. Previously using the old Amsoil PI as a maintenance dose, a look down the throttle bodies showed shining clean intake valve necks in the head. This spring, the inspection showed some really dirty, deposited intake valve stems. I...

Amsoil Reps - is Amsoil Universal ATF Toyota WS compatible?

I got a new BMW Z4. I read and listened to all the BMW oil mis-information saying that only BMW Full Synthetic motor oil made by Castrol had to be used or the motor will immediately fail. So, I bought a case of the specified BMW oil (5W30) from the dealer at $5 a quart (seemed reasonable). Says...

What would you recommend as a good oil for my new '06 BWW Z4 (Si version, 255 HP, 3.0l straight six)?

I have a 2006 Mustang GT. Why does the V8 engine specify 5W20 yet the old-style 8.5" rear end specify 80W140 (not 75W90). I would argue that the rear gear has just as much potentual, or even more, to gain mileage with a lighter oil. Ford knows that the rear gear needs the heavier oil to be...

I have a 2006 Ford Mustang GT (with the 4.6 V8). I was at the dealership to pick up some goodies, and the Regional Ford Rep and Factory Engineer were there examining an '05 GT whose motor apparently took a dump (spun a rod bearing). The owner admitted to running it hard (OK- normal) and using...

I just got a used 2002 Corolla for my daughter. 40K and clean. Not knowing the oil change history, I put in some Auto Rx when I changed the oil/filter. The variable valve timing mechanism uses oil pressure to operate, and it has a small filter in the oil supply to the actuator. I read that most...

Other than the Stealership, where can you get this ATF? Whats the spec??

Sounds like "Politicians buying your vote." How will these oils "help" my engine or be better? On Friday the American Petroleum Institute's Lubricants Committee met in telephone conference to discuss the results of its ballot on how and when to launch the new GF-4 and SM passenger car engine...

SamMan23: Use the Amsoil 10W30 year round. Order it here from one of the Site Sponsors or directly from the Corporate Website (UPS in two days to my door!). A good product that will easily go 10K miles between changes. Mike

I went to the Wally World and purchased several ST oil filters for my Cavalier. These filters, at least by weight, seem to be heavy, have a thick base and gasket, and from what I can see, a pretty darn good filter for $1.98. I might even start using them on my Toyotas!!

Peak now has a "universal" anti-freeze that claims compatability with every type of fluid additive package (DexCool, conjugated organic acid packages and traditional high pH additive packages) (both import and domestic). Seems too good to be true!
