Here I present some pics of the bottom end of my Peugeot 207 1.6 petrol, but first a little tale of how I came to take these pictures. The car is ten years old, and it has 106,000 miles. One day I went to the hardware store, as I was leaving, the low oil pressure warning comes on, I stopped the...

Photos of the filter of my Renault Clio, only 3000 km on it since I don't use it very often. As always very good construction, the only detail is that the canister had some surface rust on the inside. I don't know if that is because of improper storage before I bought it, or because of a...

Photos from a Fram XG3614. It was in use in a 2012 Ford Focus 2.0 for about 25,000 km. Oil in use was Valvoline Full Synthetic 5W-20. I ignore if and with what oil the engine was topped off. Almost 4 liters came out. Replaced with another Fram, that was silver in color, and Castrol Edge 5W-20...

I had these photos in my phone for some months now, and was trying to post them but never had the time to do it. Not much to add to the overall discussion here, the filter was in use in my Renault Clio for about 10,000 km. and maybe year and a half. I use that vehicle only occasionally now. but...

From a Ford Focus, unknown oil and miles, replaced with a fram ultra and valvoline ME, Good cosntruction, will use again.

My Peugeot 207 decided to implode, it was working fine and then something went really wrong and all the coolant went into the crankcase. Tow it home, drained the crankcase and added new oil to be able to move it into the garage to remove the engine. Surprisingly the engine still has compression...

Pictures of the filter from my Renault Clio, all the other ones that I have posted are no longer visible since tinypic went bust; but as always superb construction and nothing to complain about. the filter was in use for about 15,000 kms with Castrol Edge A3/B4. 11 mm spanner for size reference

Here is a video of the before and after of the intake valves of my Renault Clio. The car had an intermittent vacuum leak that raise the idle speed to 4500 rpm, but I wasn't able to find this massive vacuum leak, so I replaced every gasket on the intake manifold and walnut blasted the intake...

Pics of a Purflux Oil Filter in use on a Renault Clio 1.6 K4M. Change interval was 20,700 km with Mobil 1 7/16 spanner for size reference

Chasing a misfire in my Peugeot 207. I disassemble the camshafts to replace the valve stem seals. The engine has 118,000 kms

The car is a Peugeot 207 1.6, over the last year it has started to consume oil to the point where it now drinks one litre of oil every 3000 kms. Last week started to misfire only when hot and only at idle, I got a code P1337 "Cylinder 1 misfire." The car makes plenty of power and the coolant...

Pictures of the filter that was in my Renault Clio 1.6 K4M for the last 20,000 km and about 18 months. The build quality of these filters is excellent. I think I will use Purflux Filters for the rest of my life. The oil in this interval was PPPP, I replaced it with M1

Watch out The goverment is going to force you to a 10k OCI. I bet several Bitogers are going to start thinking about seceding from the US.

Here is a Purflux L358A cartridge after 20,503 km (12,814 miles) of use in a Peugeot 207 1.6 VTi as always there isn't any evident faults or tears

Purflux LS218 with 12,157 km (7,598 miles) of use on my Renault Clio. No tears or any sign of bad construction. I don't know what to think of those deposits. They were gone with a shop towel without any effort.

I wonder what would be BMW's answer to this.

Liqui Moly Top Tec 4300 5W-30 I will start by disclosing my disdain for anything Liqui Moly because of all of the snake oil/unicorn tears products that they throw around. Yesterday I came across a local source for this oil that it is about 5% cheaper than Castrol Edge EP 5w-30 and I thought...

If you mix 3 liters of oil with a TBN of 8.0 with a liter of oil with a TBN of 12.0. Do you get 4 liters of oil with a TBN of 9.0???? Can this wild generalization be a decent approximation or is as false as a three dollar bill??

Pictures of two Purflux filter elements in use in a Peugeot 1.6 VTi, the one to the right with 15,733 km (9833 miles) and 536 hours of operation and the other with 15,295 km (9560 miles) and I guess a similar amount of time. No defects to report, I am liking this brand more and more.

Too boring to see it all trough, but just listen at 2:10 when the car has oil and at 11:18 when he thinks it is wise to run the engine without oil.
