    I changed the CVT oil in my brothers Scion Iq today with him, the first CVT I've serviced. He brought me Castrol Transmax ATF/CVT universal fluid.

    Service Champ OF241/WP2835 16,000 miles abuse cut open

    Came off a coworkers 2010 Chrysler T&C 3.3 V6. It'd been 3 years and 16,000 miles since it had an oil change. It did have a lot of topoff oil added to it since it's an oil stove. The dipstick broke off in the tube and the quick lube places wouldn't change the oil because of it and he lives in an...

    Best 75w90 for the money?

    Looking to buy some 75w90 for a Ford 8.8 with a clutch style limited slip. In the years past I've used all kinds of cheap stuff, supertech, stp, valvoline white bottle, valvoline synpower (I don't consider that one cheap quality but the price sure went up the past few years) etc. I noticed the...

    Another Protec 51515/101 cut open

    9 months 900 miles of use, lots of idle time and short trips. I'm very surprised to see how straight the pleats are after seeing 90 psi oil pressure with Rotella 15w40 oil every time it starts cold. I bought another case of these recently and the labeling on the filter is different but says made...

    Wix 51394 7 years in use

    Wix 51394 I installed in 2015 on a John deere LX279 with liquid cooled V twin 17HP Kawasaki engine. I remember using Mobil super 5000 10w30. No hour meter but the owner has a LARGE lawn and I'm sure there's at least 200 hours on the oil and filter. If I remember right, he said it takes 2 hours...

    Suitable distributor cam grease?

    I've been searching the web for a tube of distributor cam grease and found very little about it. Either a few old threads that weren't helpful or the products I have found are discontinued. I used to have a tube of Echlin moly distributor cam grease and it has taken a scenic vacation to an...

    Motorcraft FL500S Cut Open 10K miles

    Neighbor asked me to change oil on their 2015 Ford Taurus with the 3.5L V6. Oil change was 5K miles past the service due date which I'm pretty sure was a 5K interval. It drained all 6 quarts and the oil didn't look or smell bad and this filter is extremely surprising. Replaced with a Fram Ultra...

    I installed an external spin on trans filter in the cooler line circuit on my F-250 back in 2018 and this filter has been on ever since. It definitely caught some clutch material and other nonferrous wear metals as the oil that came out of the filter was pretty glittery. The C6 transmission only...
