Our new 2023 Forester Wilderness has just about 2k miles on it and I've begun to think about it's first oil change. I've already decided to do 5k OCIs (Subaru says 6k) like I did with the 2008 Mazda CX-9 (Mazda said 7.5k) it replaced. On that car I always used Fram Ultras so my first thought was...

What are your opinions for the "BEST" Oil for a new 2023 Forester Wilderness? Any ol' 0w20 that meets the spec or something more high end? 🤔

Here's the UOA from my EcoDiesel running Delo 600 ADF 15w40. This is the longest run that I've done and waited for the OLM to reach 4%. The TBN was down to 1 so I'm glad that I changed it when I did. Does anyone know what the Nickel is from?

Just curious if there's been any UOA's of Delo 600 ADF posted yet (either 10w30 or 15w40). I'm currently running the 15w40 in my 2015 Ram 1500 EcoDiesel w/ 100k miles on it. I'll post the UOA when this OCI is done.

Has Delo 600 ADF been discontinued? I can barely find the 10w30 version online let alone the 15w40. Bummed if it has been 😔

Several UOAs from the Ram EcoDiesel Thanks in advance! 🤙

Here's my latest UOA of Mobil Delvac Extreme 15w40 Synthetic. Pretty good deal for $19.47/gallon at WalMart.

Here's an UOA from a short 3k interval I did before winter before switching to a synthetic 5w40. I have the stock tune with an AFE dryflow intake and AFE oil pan that makes the sump an even 3 gallons. I think this oil was discontinued because I don't see it available for sale at WalMart anymore.

Does the Peak Asian Vehicle Green meet standard FL22? I'm specifically asking for a 2008 Mazda CX-9. It says it's for '90+ Mazdas. If it does I'd like to use it since it's cheaper than Zerex. But if not I'll just use Zerex Asian Blue or Green. Here's their response when I asked if it met FL22:

(I wasn't sure where to post this so please move it if necessary) I was looking for member's thoughts on the new Peak BlueDEF Platinum. It claims to reduce the formation of deposits. I picked up two 2.5g jugs from O'Reilly ☘ on sale for $19.99 and will be adding it to my Ram 1500 EcoDiesel...

Here's my latest UOA for our 2015 RAM 1500 EcoDiesel. Almost all of it was towing our travel trailer through Nevada, Utah, Arizona, and back to Lake Tahoe. (Zion, Grand Canyon, and Las Vegas) Overall I think it held up really well and further proves that a 15w40 Synthetic Blend holds up better...

Now that Banks has disproved the benefits of flat back differential covers ((Mag-Hytek) Check out his YouTube videos on the subject). I'm curious to know if anyone has ever had a failure due to a flat back diff cover. If they don't add any benefit other than being eye candy that's fine with me...

I recently had my EGR cooler replaced under warranty due to it leaking internally. There's actually a recall for this part now. Now that it's been replaced and the oil has been changed do I have anything to worry about? Refilled with Valvoline Heavy Duty Maxlife 15w40 Synblend and will post...

Does Amsoil Severe Gear 75w140 require the addition of a Limited Slip additive? Specifically asking for a 2015 Ram 1500 w/ LS rear diff.

For a Champion 27 Ton Log Splitter with a 224cc engine which would you choose between these two? Mobil 1 15w50 or Rotella T6 15w40. Price it negligible. It has a 1/2qt oil capacity. 🛢 Thanks in advance! 🔧

I have a Champion 27ton Log Splitter. The hydraulic oil filter is a spot that makes it vulnerable to being hit by split logs and is also facing upwards. What's the oil filter with the strongest body? I remember the Royal Purple being pretty beefy but they don't make one for this application...

I mistakenly read the torque of my radiator drain plug as nm instead of kg-cm resulting in me breaking off the head. I won't be able to get the part until tomorrow and I'd like to close the garage which the bacl end is blocking. Can I safely drive my car back off the ramps and then forward into...

Hi, I'm looking into buying a Champion 27ton Log Splitter from Home Depot. I would buy it in the box and assemble it myself. Always wanting "better" I was trying to upgrade the hydraulic filter. With the filters listed in the manual (pictured below) would the Fram Xg3682 (specs below) be the...

This is going in a 3.6L V6 Ford engine with 130k miles on it. Driven daily through steep and windy mountain conditions on highway and side roads. Going to fill the sump with a gallon of M1 TDT 5w40 but need an additional quart to make up the rest. From my stash below what would you use? M1 AP...
