    Do NOT use STP filters on your N54 BMW (S10075)

    Apologies for taking some time to reply. I contacted STP through their support email and their web form. No replies. I then uploaded the pictures to facebook and tagged them and message them. Still no reply. I would NEVER touch a STP product again. This is ridiculous. I ran Castrol 0w-30...

    Do NOT use STP filters on your N54 BMW (S10075)

    If you have this oil filter installed, go replace it NOW. Just fished this out of my N54. Approximately 4,800 miles.

    M1 5w-30 + 1qt Castrol Start up, 4000mi, Honda H22 Prelude w/ 8000mi

    Hey guys, long time leecher, probably first time poster. Heres my UOA. Rebuilt H22a4 prelude, Darton sleeves, arias pistons and some UOA irrelevant headwork. Anyways, i've been suspecting a headgasket leak beacause of dissapearing coolant, but I guess it was just air bubbles that worked their...
