Anyone running Maxlife ATF in their Bimmer? I did a spill and fill yesterday using Castrol Transmax Import mulit-vehicle, but am thinking for the next 2, I will go Valvoline. Anyone have an opinion? At one of the many E46 forums, all of these ATFs are acceptable (in alphabetical order): Castrol...

Scotty Kilmer has said in a couple videos that using 0W16 would help with the OD problem that lots of Honda engines deal with. Any evidence for this being true? I have an 18 Honda CRV 1.5L that is prone to such problems.

I'm sure I will get yelled at, but the search function just isn't getting me the answer I am looking for: Asking for a friend: New to the friend is a 2002 BMW 330i with the M54B30 inline 6 with about 130,000 miles. This vehicle is in the US, and has lived its whole life below the rust belt. It...

Who actually makes the Honda OEM filter 15400-PLM-A02? Rumors are it's Fram. Is that true though?

How have you folks been shipping new and/or used oil filters to other states in the lower 48 of the U.S.? I have some extra new filters I want to post to eBay, but the shipping looks like it will push the price too high. I'm seeing about $7+ per filter by the USPS, and that's by weight and small...

I bought new a 2007 Honda Pilot 3.5L (v6) EX FWD. This is not a VCM engine. Currently the Pilot has 154K miles. It also has always consumed 3/4 of a quart between OCIs, which are about 6k/7k. High Mileage oil made zero difference in the oil consumption. It currently has a Mobil 110A filter, and...

I just burned through my stash of the Filtech 15400-PLM-A01. When bought in bulk, they were about $6 each. I can't find those any more, but I see: 15400-PLM-A02 and 15400-PLM-A02PE Can anyone guide me on the way to go these days? Which filter number and which manufacturer? It used to be that...

I am wondering what my best choice of oils would be for the first oil change on a 17 Honda Odyssey (and then for all changes thereafter). It's a 3.5 iVTEC VCM, that can use either 0W20 or 5W20. I plan to go by the Maintenance Minder, which can be 6-7.5K miles OCIs. My first thought is to use...

Anyone agree/disagree with putting a magnet or two on the oil filter to try to catch metallic particulate as it passes thru the filter? I cannot see the harm, so I put two very strong magnets I removed from am old PC hard drive on my filter. I'd love to see a cut of one. (I've tried the search...

I am looking for guidance on all things oil for my 2007 Honda Pilot. Recently, when I rolled 120K miles, I decided to take on the oil changes myself, as opposed to changes by any random quicky-lube type place that had a sale. I have been reading up, and it has caused me to regret not doing this...
