    Mopar OEM and Fram Ultra Oil filters, '18 Jeep JL

    I have now used two K&N of this filter and both came out way less wavy than the F eachram pictured here (approx. 8K) but still little wavy near the bottom. I just put in the XG so we will see how it comes out. The first filter was OEM and little more wavy than the K&N but straighter than the XG...

    whats the up size for XG9688

    I have some XG7317 so was hoping to use them up. However its odd the 7317 has a 13 psi BP and the 9688 has a 9-15 psi bp. Why the huge range on the 9688? Seems odd it has two numbers but the rest have one single number?? The 3593A looks to be the closest upsize but as mentioned by others why not...

    Fram XG and K&N filters cut open - no pics

    First OC I just loosened the oil filter cap until draining was done and I put drain plug in before I replaced the filter. Next time I will be looking in the canister to see if there is still oil in it after the filter is removed. I'm sure the filter bottom oring was oiled but it is an oring so I...

    Fram XG and K&N filters cut open - no pics

    The oil had all but stopped draining when I screwed the filter down and another 1/2-1 pint came out. Had it been still in the normal drain I would have never noticed it. I will be inspecting the FU I have on hand, I did not notice anything like that on the K&Ns. There is a spring in the cap I...

    nice post, makes it worth recycling, Local WM said they take them and recycle. They used to drain and then dump in landfill but local pressure got them on the recycle band wagon.

    Coolant recommendation Silica free

    Peak Global Lifetime. And I recommend it over dexcool anytime as it does not have the plasticizer that's in dex or pretty much all lifetime coolants including prestone..

    Fram XG and K&N filters cut open - no pics

    Fram was from 2003 deville, 9800 miles and as expected perfect in every way. Mobile 1 5-30 for high mileage. About half way through added Liqui Moly MSO2 K&N was from 2015 Durango 3.6 8700 miles and perfect except very slight wavy pleats in a few places. New K&N went back in and like the last...

    Tan gunk growing/floating in new nissan coolant

    Nissan finally got back to me, Their engineers say it is the water pump seal lubricant they add. If it gets too old it can separate. They said don't use it. It was from E-bay so who knows how old it was before I opened it. The bottle I filtered did not grow anymore and now its been pitched. Car...

    Cut open oil filter posts, are they useless?

    I cut all my filters open and so far they all look fine. I have cut Purone, Subaru, Nissan, Fram. I posted a few but at this point until I find a failure or something of real interest I just don't see the reason. Seems if you have an issue post it and put "fail" in the title so I don't have to...

    Tan gunk growing/floating in new nissan coolant

    Ya no way it has oil in it, original Nissan container. No oil smell and I have seen oil in coolant over the years not the same. Some other sort of growth, bacterial? Algea? its Ethylene Glycol and contains no Amines, Silicates or Borates.

    Tan gunk growing/floating in new nissan coolant

    I have a jug of Nissan L248SP coolant mixed with 50/50 distilled water about 3-4 yrs old. Been using it to add as needed. Today I opened it (been about 8 months since last used)and there is about 1/4" of tan gunk floating on top. I shook it and it does not mix in. I filtered it through coffee...

    Plugged Oil Filter

    I just want to add everyone doing own OC should be draining the filter well before pitching it if you don't have a recycle option. I use a deck screw in the ADBV hole to push the elastomer valve open and leave it in tilted with the screw on the lowest side in the oil drain funnel until it is...
