Lol, yeah I do it in the early am while she's sleeping.:LOL:

Another Kirkland roll changed out in the Frantz. Love how the roll is compressed after running as an oil filter.:) Insert is 304 stainless I turned on my lathe to fit the new rolls.

Yes, for the Ford 5R110 I run an Amsoil Dual Remote and a Motorguard M100.

I like that idea you have using the electrician tape rolls, I'll keep that in mind for the future. I'm using two Frantz units and made sleeves for them, but will be using a 3rd soon, so will use your idea with the tape rolls.:)

So far they're holding up very well. Both rear rotors and pads were replaced and one caliper. The rotors still look new with 30,000 miles on them. Rear pads are 75% and the fronts around 90%.

Thanks, yes running the mono now for 6000 miles and compare the results. If the numbers drop I'll repeat with T6 15W40 again and see.

Yes, it's been my daily driver for 7 years now. Overall very happy with the swap and with running 100% veg oil, it's very economical.:)

Just having a look at the latest multigrades and see how they effect wear rates etc. Oil consumption was the with two liters burned and 1 used for the Frantz bypass filter. I'm aware that they weren't designed to run multigrades, but that was in the 70's and oils come a long way since then.:)...

10,000 km run on the Shell T6 15W40. Wear is similar to the previous Shell T1 SAE40 numbers with the exception of slightly higher iron and lead. This might be attributed to the larger injectors I installed just before this oil use. I'll run another 10,000 kms on Shell T1 SAE40 to see if...

In all honesty I think you could get away with running the M30 with stock internals. I've never taken the temperature of the M100, but I'm sure the plastics would hold up. I've spoken to a few people that have run the stock roll and internals with no issues. I'd test the plastic pieces in...

Yes, I collect every two weeks, settle and filter when I fill the truck. In four years I've averaged 2.5 cents per mile in fuel costs.:) Finished up a summer trail period with no diesel consumed and in 7000 miles I averaged 0.7 cents per mile in a 5 month period. Only reason for any costs was...

Thanks.:)

Another routine filter change on the Ford 5R110 with 80,000 miles on the transmission. It's an auctioned transmission with unknown mileage, but running and shifting great. Transmission fluid still looks like new and magnets are very clean, so happy times.:) Topped up with one liter of fresh...

Thanks.:)

Thanks, I'll have a read on 5W40 and see.:)

First sample to check how the T6 is holding up in Jimmy. I'll take another sample at 10,000 Kms to see how it compares to Shell T1 SAE40. Wear metals are slightly elevated on this sample, but too early to compare yet. I did install larger injectors in Jimmy, so that may account for the higher...

Rust_Belt_Pete said: Whats this ? No rust in the wheel bearing/knuckle area? This cant be a Canadian car! P.S. Undercoat every second season with New Hampshire Oil Undercoating.:) Other than the ball joints and brake components, trucks like new.:)

Replacing the wheel hub assembly and u-joint, both worn out.:) Yes, Canadian F350.:)

SuperFords in for ball joints, u-joint, hub assembly and seals.:) It was time, 413,000 kms.:)

In my area there's lots of restaurants that want to get rid of the oil. I collect from 5 restaurants every two weeks, about 55 gallons of oil. The perfect amount for my needs.:) Just have to go around and ask to get started. I've found that many have contracts to have their oil collected...
