    ChampLabs filters (incl. AMSOIL) = FRAM filters ?

    Look carefully and you can see "2H" stamped on the Champ and Amsoil baseplates, just like the Fram.

    1989 Chevy K2500 Rear diff lube? High miles...

    I'm planning on replacing all the fluids in my plow truck this summer and wanted opinions on gear oil for the rear diff. I believe factory recommendations are for 80w-90, but truck is high mileage and has been a commercial plow rig most of it's life. The rear end has some play in it but doesn't...

    SuperTech Full Synthetic ATF multi vehicle

    Running it in my 03 Rendezvous with no issues. But Maxlife is only a couple bucks more. (Walmart didn't have enough Maxlife when I did my filter last year.) Personally I'll be switching to Amsoil in the spring when I add a tranny cooler.

    Switching to syn. at 272816 miles.

    I switch back and forth between synthetic, conventional and blends depending on oil prices, my mood and to tweak my OCI's to convenient times to change the oil... I think just changing the oil once in awhile is what really matters. All of my cars are older and high mileage and don't seem to...

    Milesyn 5w30

    5 gallon buckets of Milesyn for $43 through Wal*Mart and Amazon... I'm thinking I can run the 10w-30 in everything including my lawn mowers and snowblower here.
