    U.S. Rotella 5-40 / vs CAN. Rotella 0-40

    Thanks John - I was just wondering if there had been any new info since you posted the warning in Feb. - Like, what was in the Can. Rotella, that wet clutches didn't like. I talked to a Shell tech. rep. after I read your post - to see if someone there could expand on the subject - he was pretty...

    U.S. Rotella 5-40 / vs CAN. Rotella 0-40

    From what I've been able to learn, both here and elsewhere, the U.S. Rotella 5-40 is a Group III+ and the Rotella 0-40, made and sold in Canada is a Group IV. I'm currently using the U.S. Rotella 5-40 (picked up half a dozen jugs, when I went to the "Destructive Devices" display in Knob Creek...

    Have you ever killed someone?

    AstroVic, you're 100% sure you did the right thing (most of us are 110% sure) - but that's realistically and intellectually sure - your heart, however, is grappling with the with the enormous emotional load of ending another human beings life. Your heart is not easily influenced by fact or...

    What's best for extended drains: GC, M1 or something else?

    John_ertw, I drive back and forth between Oshawa and Toronto, not quite the distance that you're doing, but the speed ranges seem familiar. Mostly drive a '95 Cirrus (2.5L,V6), probably spins over a little higher on the hwy than your 3.4 . I've been using Rotella T, 0-40 100% synthetic - you can...

    5000mile bad UOA on synthetic

    I've also read that wear metals decrease after the oil has a couple thousand miles on it. Kinda' defies logic, but it's been mentioned enough times that it must have truth to it. Do you suppose the reason may have something to do with the oil filter passing more/larger particles when new, then...

    Slightly OT

    Ya' gotta just shake your head, eh? - Seems to me, there should be a measure of intellectual competence in place, before you're allowed to operate 'chinery. Then again, it hasn't really been much of a requirement lately, what with all the beeping, flashing, whistling, talking cars/trucks being...

    Where is the Proof?

    Ugly 3, I would not dispute your observations regarding capacity and cooling, perhaps your statement about filter life is accurate also. That said, I do think that the "over-size filter" attribute of increased flow area, that Ray H. and ZR2RANDO postulate and the reasons they have for concluding...

    Baldwin B2 cut open...

    Greaser - as Dan mentioned, Baldwin makes the B2 filter in HPG (High Performance Glass,I believe is what the acronym stands for). I bought 6 of the B2HPG's from Acklands Grainger a few months ago. The store in Oshawa didn't stock them and wound up having them sent from Alberta - took maybe a...

    Baldwin B2 cut open...

    Why would anyone buy some other filter?? 'Cause THEY CAN'T FIND ANYONE IN THE TORONTO/DURHAM AREA THAT SELLS PUROLATOR!! Fer cryin' out loud. I don't mean to look like I'm yelling, but I can't for the life of me, find a Purolator retailer in this neck of the woods. Anyone within the sound of my...

    Where is the Proof?

    Exactly what I'd have said and the reason I use an oversize filter. [ August 14, 2004, 02:41 PM: Message edited by: SAFN49 ]

    Baldwin oil fitler question?

    I'm using a Baldwin B2HPG on my Chrysler (2.5L-V6). Same one used on Ford 289/302. BPV on the front end (threaded). I believe, for most Ford applications, they specify the BPV be on the front end. If however, I'm laboring under a misapprehension regarding my last statement - stay tuned, someone...

    Hatred for Bush?

    mnztr, would you do me the favour of removing your hand from my "member" while you're busy urinating on President Bush, lest our American friends get the impression you're speaking for the rest of us. I happen to like the man and am hoping he's re-elected and I'm also hoping for a Republican...

    Oversize oil filter question

    Sorry aldive, I just noticed you're in Fla. I mistakenly picked up on Greaser's, Windsor location and figured the Acklands-Grainger connection would be of some use, you know, being Canadian and all. Some of us get smarter as we age and some of us just get older.

    Oversize oil filter question

    Further to Greaser's reply in regards to the Ford 302 ci filters - I got Acklands-Grainger in Oshawa, to order me half a dozen Baldwin B2HPG(High Performance Glass) filters. They're $10 and change each, plus tax, Cdn. According to a Baldwin Tech. Rep. this filter is supposed to filter down to 6...
