Perfect 115gr brass case 9mm is only $6.94 plus $0.10/box ammo tax and 9.25% sales tax here. This morning at my Walmart they had 15 cases left with no limit after I bought 5.

Do they sell oversize ones there? I need a big one for my engine. The smaller sizes don't work as well, and some brands tear.

It had about 3k miles on it and was installed in early January 2014. I used rotella 15-40 motor oil. I decided to change because of the filter tear scare. This filter has no tears and looked fine other than the wide spacing at the glued pleat. Date code is F10E03G1 , October 2013. I replaced...

I have a dirty engine. The oil pickup screen can't filter the smaller particles. I am glad my orange can filters the small dirt instead of allowing it to flow through the engine. I'll never buy another Purolator, it isn't worth $0.50 to have to worry about a tear that the company refuses to...

I think it looks good.

I've pictures of engine with much more sludge than this one. I cleaned a lot of the junk out and over this oil change interval of 2k plus another at 5k I think most of the garbage will be gone. I've been cutting the filters open, so if the next two filters are completely full I definitely won't...

Before you start throwing away money, consider renting a pressure tester from autozone. Clip it on to the radiator cap and it should indicate whether your vehicle has a head gasket problem.

Originally Posted By: wallyuwl That engine has been neglected. Run some short intervals with a high detergent oil like PU. Or you can go a little longer even, but change the filter half way. We had a 2003 Vibe with the same engine. I don't remember the name of it exactly, but there is a really...

Originally Posted By: 71Chevyguy I don't think it looks that bad considering the mileage on it. While it is def not a clean engine, all of the moving parts look decent. Using good quality fresh oil at reasonable intervals would clean that up over time. I had a 3800 once that was way worse, it...

Who knows how often the oil was changed or what type used. LOL I'd really like to remove the pistons and see what kind of shape the rings are in. However, it is really running good right now and the threat of sludge clogging up the oil pickup tube pretty much taken care of I will leave well...

This is a family members car that was purchased used with 221K miles. It has the Toyota 1zz-fe engine. It ran good and the interior/exterior looked nice, as if it had been well cared for. The idle seemed a little rough so I changed the air intake gasket. That fixed the rough idle. While removing...

I bought out two walmarts today, 13 jugs line the garage. Thanks for letting me know about this deal.

I changed the oil again today. Miles on the car were 222970. The oil in the car was a mobil 5-30 and the filter a fram ph3600. I noticed that before when I used the cd2 detergent additive the engine oil became dirty with specs of dirt on the dipstick quickly. The risolone treatment this oil...
