Brownell's has a sweet deal on this thing right now... $460 out the door with promo code "JNS" (shipping included), PLUS Walther has a $100 mail-in rebate... $360 when it's all said and done (plus any taxes / transfer fees). I couldn't pass it up. Here's a link It sure is a sweet shooter...

For those that may be interested, I wanted to take some comparison photos of both the TRD oil filter and Fram Ultra for the late model 1.8L Toyota engine. This is the filter used in the current Toyota Prius, Corolla, Yaris, some Scion models, previous Matrix, etc etc. The OEM cellulose is...

I was checking out the newest 0w20 MSDS sheets from Mobil, and noticed that the Super Syn 0w20 now has GTL base stocks specifically listed. The MRV of the oil looks terrible compared to other 0w20 oils... and it doesn't carry a Dexos 1 cert... but the CAS # is the same as Pennzoil Ultra Platinum...

It's been 4.5yrs since my last UOA on the 3.0L V6 Fusion... so I figured it was due. I even opted to pull a TBN & TAN reading just to see how the Ultra held up over the 7.5k run. Oil was in use for approx 10mo... with the car driven by my wife. Generally twice a week the car will get a good...

Part # XG10358 Fram link for XG10358 oil filter Great news for late model 1.8L Toyota/Scion owners! Gives us an excellent premium filter option for use in our engines. I've been using Toyota OEM thus far, but I've been a fan of the Ultra filter on my Fusion.

Looks like they were just updated this month... and for once they include a bit of detail (more like Mobil 1). VERY interesting that regular Platinum and QS UD have the same chemical composition... and only the Ultra Platinum specifically lists the GTL base-stocks as being part of the...

My head is spinning from all the stuff I've researched lately about 0w20 oils for my new Prius. On one hand, there appears to be a camp of folks that seem to think TGMO 0w20 is golden elixir given to us from heaven... while I tend to feel it's just an oil specially made by Mobil for Toyota based...

*rant on* Well... all the hubbub about the 6.0L Powerstroke and its issues... and what does it throw at me? A stupid degas bottle crack. I had just parked from getting back from my lunch break... came out to grab something about 45min later... and there's a puddle of coolant dripping! Naturally...

Was doing some engine upgrades and decided to go ahead and change the oil at the same time. Yes I know it was way early and could have gone longer, but whatever... I was already having to drain it. As usual per the 6.0L, it sheared the nuts off the 40-weight oil in only 4300mi. I refilled with...

This was my first UOA for my truck... was my dad's, but when he retired it just sat in his driveway for about three years (maybe 10,000mi total over that time period)... so I took it off his hands last year, bulletproofed the heck out of it (to the tune of about $5,500), and figured now a year...

Very pleased with this report. Normal driving style is approx 50-50 city-highway. The tail end of this OCI did include a 1400mi round-trip vacation (mainly highway miles) to Southern California. Any doubters to this being an amazing oil for the money? I mean seriously... it doesn't get much...

Nothing to write home about here... this run was short because I put in a full 12oz bottle of AutoRX. There was really no reason other than the fact that I had an extra bottle from my wife's car, so I figured I'd just run it through. Due to the short run, I didn't bother getting a TBN. Oil...

What would make fresh oil smell "sweet" when sniffed? Just a curiosity question because when I changed the oil in the MX-5 today to Penz Ultra, I did my typical sniff as you would do when you open a new package of coffee, it had a very sweet aroma... much like green GC back in the day. I then...

...this site is one that comes up. Any thoughts? http://www.pennzoilultrasweeps.com/

PLEASE don't let this thread get horribly off-topic as the last one did... just curious if there is any new news on the subject?

Ok... need help picking out who makes this filter. It's a Beck/Arnley part # 041-8183... what they spec for my Mazda 2.0L. Any ideas? I'm guessing Denso, but not really sure. No label kinda stinks.

...is it now fits on my '06 Miata 2.0L !!!! The older spec was about an inch longer, and would just barely hit a cross-brace under my car... obviously NOT usable. Now I have plenty of room to get it under there. My car technically spec's the FL-910, which is nothing more than a classic...

OK... pardon my ignorance. I've used the search function, not gotten my question answered. I've googled, too much scientific / mathematic talk for my understanding... In layman terms... HOW on earth do you decipher a beta ratio??? Example... I'm looking at WIX's posted ratio's for my '06 Mazda...

I must admit... I've always been a stallwart thinker of "thicker is better!". But after long hard discussions, and sleepless nights after too much BITOG reading, I decided to go ahead and do some 5w20 (what the car was spec'd for in the first place). Vehicle = 2006 Mazda MX-5 (miata) Only has...

It's a pretty simple question actually... are there any downsides (other than "wasting product") to regularly using 1.5oz/5-gallons of gas? Will it hurt anything / negatively affect anything in the engine or fuel system?
