I decided to purchase a battery analyzer (harbor freight digital one) with winter coming up and wanted to know what real-world experience you have in regards to using the information to replace your battery. The method I've used the 27 years I've owned vehicles is to wait until the day it dies...

Changed oil after 5000 miles on my 2006 Camry. Oil was the last of my nexgen 5w30 stash and the filter was a Napa select 27145. The filter has a tear at the bottom of the seam. Top side looked ok, but a lot of glue. Date code 060415 E1. Put back in Mobil super HM 5w30 with the last of my...

This is the kohler filter from my 25 HP craftsman mower. I change them once a year (30-40 hours). Oil was Mobil super 10W-30. I'm sure it did it's job fine, but looks like it was constructed quite a bit cheaper than the black painted filter with the same part #.
