Yeah, I'll post an update after a while. I haven't driven them in the rain yet, but I did test the dry traction and it was excellent. Before if I took off from a stop going around a corner I could light both the tires up no problem if I wanted to, I basically floored it around a big corner, and...

Just wanted to give an update on what I wound up with. Initially I ordered those General Altimax RT45's that were linked above and after spending a good while dealing with Walmart and their order screw up I cancelled and returned them since they showed up 1 by 1. I did keep 1 of those and bought...

My grandfather bought ours brand new with the unlimited lifetime powertrain warranty. That warranty was used many times in the 10 years he had it. Ever heard of a valve body getting replaced at 16,000 miles? me either, until we acquired this thing. My grandfather was using Castrol edge 10W30...

I have one of those, 08 with a 3.8, 81K miles. Started using a lot of oil at 47K miles when my grandfather owned it, dealer changed lower intake gaskets and found that oil was getting sucked past 1 or 2 of the intake ports past the lower intake gasket. Fixed the problem for a while, it drinks...

Sisters 2013 BMW 328i 3.0 I6 111,000 miles Out: unknown about 5000 miles on oil IN: M1 Euro 0W40 and Fram XG10075 This Fram ultra looks fantastic compared to the one I put in that GMC terrain on Saturday. I was also greeted to a face full of hot coolant as the coolant reservoirs small quick...

I run the Wix 57502 size on my grand marquis (same filter size as this premium guard) I've cut several of this size filter open off of a few different vehicles lately and the bypass valve seemed much easier to push open than this thing. I can barely get it to move at all. But then again - why...

Drove it home January 13th with whatever was in it since 2022 according to the carfax and oil change sticker - a dealership owned this car for quite a while and used it as their personal errand runner, changed oil with M1 0W40 and that premium guard filter the next day January 14th, oil pressure...

Yeah that's the only reason why I suspected it might be the filter or something about it the engine does not like. I drove the absolute crap out of this thing 160 miles home and the wheels did not stop for 160 miles. It idled quite a bit in the driveway after I got it home and the oil pressure...

Extremely clean looking into the oil fill. Bright and shiny metal everywhere. No sludge or varnish that I can see anyways.

I should have taken a picture of the bottom of the drain pan. It was way dirtier than the first oil change that had apparently been in there for about 2 years and 2500 miles.

Yeah I was planning on doing that here the next day or two when I have some free time. Busy weekend for me.

I checked it over when I replaced the sensor, all seems well there. Snapped right on nice and secure as well.

Yeah, filter was on there about as tight as I could get it with one hand. Just like all the others I've installed over the years without any issues. Not sure if its worth potentially ruining an engine to see if the oil filter was really the problem or not if the problem never comes back with the...

No it started doing it about a week into the oil change and intermittently. I've driven the car while it was doing it, we figured it was the sensor going bad since it was so random when it would do it, sometimes it would go a few days without doing it. It also sometimes would do it before the...

I would have done the same, but my neighbor wanted to try the correct viscosity as well. His money, not mine. The oil I drained out was really nasty dirty with a lot of carbon in the bottom of the pan though, so I guess no big deal. The engine got a bit of a clean out. The bypass valve is my...

I installed this filter we got from Rockauto on my neighbors 2013 Ford flex with the 3.5 Ecoboost. Ever since installing (1200 ish miles) the car has been setting a low oil pressure light at idle but very intermittently for no rhime or reason and we even replaced the oil pressure switch, it...

Neighbors 2013 Ford Flex 3.5 Ecoboost. Kept having intermittent oil pressure light coming on at idle here and there, even after replacing the oil pressure switch. Out: 1200 mile M1 Euro 0W40 and a Premium guard oil filter (I think that filter was the cause of the problem because the light...

Yeah, this guy lives on the other side of the state now and haven't been able to do it with his or my schedule when he's been over here the last couple of times. Ran 10W40 in it for a while, it does noticeably better with the Euro oil for sure. The remainder 7 quarts of the 0W40 left over in the...

2012 GMC terrain, 154K miles. Out: Quakerstate Euro 5W40 and Fram CH9018, 11,000 miles since last oil change and 8 quarts of top off oil were reported to be added. In: Mobil 1 Euro 0W40 and Fram ultra XG9018 Also installed new air filter and cleaned the MAF. Went from running like garbage and...

I've used the Supertech carb and brake cleaner a lot. I quit buying the carb cleaner and just started buying the brake cleaner since the cans are bigger. Can't say I noticed much of a difference between the two actually using them and both melt wasps on contact.
