The following are 14 error messages seen on computer screens in Japan, where most are written in Haiku. Aren't these better than "your computer has performed an illegal operation"? Maybe we in the western world should begin to adopt a more philosophical approach to the world in which we toil...

This story has been floating around the backwaters of the web for a while. Not even the "Liberal" press has chosen to publicize it yet but I do think liberals and conservatives would want to ask basic questions of our government on this case. PBS's "The Connection" today featured the continuing...

I thought this might produce some comments. 30 Rules for Being a Good Republican: 1) You have to believe that pollution is OK, especially if it is making someone a profit. 2) You have to believe that being a drug addict is a moral failing and a crime unless you are a multi-millionare...

2003 Ford Ranger Vulcan 3.0 Ltr V6 I have been trying to decide what viscosity of oil to use and have been doing some research at this site and elsewhere. Ford of course specs 5W-20. I did and posted a 3700 mile Factory Fill UOA (5W-20) and a 7,900 mile with Amsoil 0W-30 UOA. The lead count on...

I just posted a reply on the Iraqi Prisoner Abuse and was surprised to see the word "Homosexual" was entirely blanked out. Now we can't be that immature and afraid of a legitimate word not used in an offensive manner, can we? Let's see if "****** ", and "***** make it through. Yup, the hate...

Couldn't resist this. Teaching Math Last week I purchased a burger at Burger King for $1.58. The counter girl took my $2 and I was digging for my change when I pulled 8 cents from my pocket and gave it to her. She stood there, holding the nickel and 3 pennies, while looking at the screen on...

Here's a conspiracy theory, Bush administration (all oil people) have worked out a back room deal with Opec to hike oil prices to help fund the war in Iraq and the oil industry??

I think it's important that we discuss 911. It seems to be forgotten in the war in Iraq yet it's the reason we went into Afghanistan and Iraq, created Dept. of Homeland Security, and enacted the Patriot Act. There is a site run by the survivors of victims who are pushing the 911 Commission to...

I posted a UOA recently and a comment was made about the high lead level. In my post I stated I had installed a dual filter and by-pass just after the UOA. A suggestion was made that it may have been better to hold on the dual by-pass until I got the lead levels down. So does the installation of...

No comment at this point just interested in discussion. Although you could say that the wording of the subject is a comment.

I have been reviewing the forum topics in General off Topic that have drawn the most replies. Seems Money (Investors...), Bush (Bush...) and Gays (Gay Marriage) tops the bunch. Is that what we all think about throughout the day that we need to get off our chests? Doesn't anybody think about sex...

I am trying to finally settle on an oil filter that I can feel comfortable with. Always used a Fram, usually PH8A (twice as big as spec'd)until I found this site. Right now I was trying to look at flow. I tried to find the GPM oil pump rating for my vehicles as a start.I've done a search on this...

I came to these forums a calm happy and contented 3000K with filter dino oil change guy. I now find myself questioning my whole life. How could I have made such a huge mistake? What a fool I've been! My life is a wreck and I need psychoanalysis. I can't sleep as I worry if I'm using exactly the...

I would like to suggest a Glossary. I keep reading posts with every possible abbreviation known and mostly unknown. For a neophyte it's insider code. Can't join the club until you understand the language. Anybody else out there in oil land who would like to see what the !?!?! everyone is saying?

I've read about the different mechanisms that mfg's use for the by-pass valve. What I would like some help on is the difference between the location. Some filters have it on top, others on the bottom. Either way it seems that the oil will by-pass the filter element, so does it make any...

I've cleaned my trans filter screen on a couple of different vehicles and never found a problem that was worth the large effort it takes to remove the pan etc. I was wondering if anyone can comment from experience on an externel spin-on type filter that I could mount in-line on the cooling...
