Sold my 02 Honda CRV. Now I have an 04 Chevy Trailblazer with the 4.2L I6. Trailblazer has 7 quart sump. It has the dummy light for the GM oil life monitor. I've heard that it takes a looong time for the light to come on. What OCI would you use if you used conventional/synthetic 5w-30 with...

Anyone know much about these? Looks like one more layer of protection. Any insight would be great. Thanks http://www.knfilters.com/wraps.htm

Here's the pictures I promised. This is a Pentius PLB3600 oil filter. Seems very well made. Took me forever to cut it open with my Dremel. The canister is very thick. Check out the unique bypass valve. The plating is very even and there is a lot of it. Spiral tube with a nitrile ADBV. The...

I recently purchased a load of Pentius branded oil and air filters for my companies fleet. They feel very sturdy and seem to be well made. All of their items seem to be made in Korea. Does anyone know if there is a major plant in Korea and who it belongs to? The bypass valve in the back looks...

Is it me, or is the front home page on BITOG.com not refreshing anymore with new post? The same post have been on the front page for what seems over a week now. Maybe it's just me.

Has anyone heard or seen of Pennzoil Performax oil and air filters? I have seen them listed on Pennzoils web site, but there is no info about them.

Can't find any threads in the search dept. Anyone use the E3 spark plug? Company info on plugs seems convincing, real life though..?

I'm getting a little jelous now with all the talk about Amsoil 0w-20. Amsoil has a lot of information about their oils, however I'm not really putting together what the real difference is between the 5w-20 XL and the 0w-20 (besides the obvious 0w, 5w) I'm thinking about putting this oil in my...

Need some advice for those who care to reply. Does anyone think that my 02' Honda CRV would work with a 10K mile OCI that Honda recommends? The car drives only every other day for 5.5 mile trips to work that last about 12-15 minutes. Sometimes I make the trip two to three times a day. Car also...

Fram updated their website. The front page is the same, but the vehicle application section now gices you pictures as well as thread size and PSI's. It looks a lot like the WIX website.

My new Honda OEM at filter for my 2002 CRV is blue. Actually, it's white on the inside of the filter, but coated with a blue substance on the outside. Any ideas what it is?

I have been using a FRAM SureDrain SD2 for over a year now. Very convenient and clean to work with. I pulled off the SureDain the other day after it had stopped draining all of the oil. An additional 1/3 qt. came out when I removed the plug. I guess the bolt that goes into the oil pan really...

Quick question for you guys in the know. I'm thinking about making my own Honda Z-1 fluid for my 2002 Honda CRV with 40K. Lubegard universal says that it converts Dexron/Mercon fluid to a Z-1 equivalent. Is Dexron/Mercon the best base fluid to start with? Which fluid would work best with the...

Does anyone know anything about Carquest branded synthetic oil? I know the conventional is Ashland, so I assume the synthetic would be as well. Would it be a stretch to say that it's comparable to Valvoline Synpower?

Anyone tried these plugs? Seem to be the cheapest of the bunch.

Just curious to see what types of seals Valvoline Maxlife works on. Is it just the rubber and/or cork seals, or does it work on others? I happen to have an 02 CRV with a perpetual oil pan leak. It does not use a traditional oil pan gasket, it instead uses some type of semi-liquid seal. I...

Just wanted to know if anyone has experience with 76 Guardol QLT universal fleet oil. It's available from my local 76 supplier for $8.59/gallon in either 10w-30 or 15w-40. Here's the PDF link at 76lubricants...

Just bought a 2005 Dodge Grand Caravan 3.3L for the wife. Oil cap/manual states 5w-20 oil. Severe is 3 months / 3000. Normal is 6 months / 7500 miles. Anyone here doing the full 6 months / 7500 mile OCI for their van? My wife drives 99% highway to work and back, so she's easy on the oil.

I'm changing my sisters oil to her 2002 Toyota Highlander V6 on Tuesday. Last time I put in GC with an OEM filter. She went the full 7500 mile OCI plus an additional 1500+ miles. This time I bought her Mobil1 5w-30 EP with a Mobil1 EP filter. What do you guys think about raising the OCI on...

Has anyone ever seen this before? I found it interesting that Nascar vehicles have 6 gallon oil capacity. COPY OF QUESTION: With the oil companies telling me to change my truck's oil every 3,000 miles -- or more often when doing a lot of towing -- my question is how often do race teams...
