Gas is getting ridiculously high to fill my e39 530i up even with 89 octane. It’s time to put some miles on old reliable! Fresh summer fill for my e28 5 series. Penz 20w50 SN rated dates may 2014. Mahle Filter. Last few fills have been Rotella and Delvac 15w40. I forgot how slow 20w50 pours out...

Came out my wife’s 2016 Hyundai Sonata with the 2.4L. Definitely was time, look like the originals.

Okay so I acquired an e39 530i from my father about 6 months ago and have been going through all the fluids on the vehicle progressively. It's about time to do the transmission and I'm up torn between lifeguard 5, Pentosin ATF1 and either Amsoil SS or OE ATF. I've read a bunch of threads saying...

This is a big sigh of relief for me. Last two uoas as you can see we're high in copper and I had no idea why. I recently changed my oil pan out that had been cracked to [censored] and back and held together with JB weld. The JB weld was coming apart inside the pan apparently which is the only...

Customer brought in this filter to change on a Honda Pilot this morning. As I was threading it on, it went on completely crooked, like FUBAR level bad. First tome seeing something like this.

This past Saturday my boss showed up with all this Chevron Supreme 5/10w30 from Costco for 83 cents a quart!!! There was another pickup truck with another whole palette in the bed that I didn't get a picture of.

My father owns a coffee roasting company here in Louisiana and currently has several company vehicles, mostly fords. He is looking for a new service van for our espresso machine service tech. Currently he is driving a older transit connect with around 250k miles on it. The tech himself has back...

This is my coworkers truck, total of about 5300 mile OCI. he towed a camper 3000 miles from Louisiana to Colorado and back, steep hills and stuff like that. Fram ultra filter was used. I told him maybe go to a 5w40 for next time. He babies this truck otherwise, at least 3 miles to work per day...

Came off a 95 Camry with 243118 miles. Absolute failure. ADBV super tough. All parts were heavily varnished as seen.

I've always used Redline MTL in my 1987 bmw 535is, changed it out twice in the last 5 years of ownership. Current fill is getting bad, synchros are kicking back, wont go into first sometimes. Last time I had it changed my indie said it looked like glitter. I've got some Amsoil MTG coming soon...

This is my 2nd UOA on this car and I am puzzled as to where the copper is coming from other than Blackstone's suggestions. Could it be a fuel additive? Vehicle runs like a top and I frequently drive from Lafayette to New Orleans and back (260+ round trip) so I put miles on fast. I use MMO in the...

Ran this on my 87 535is with some PYB 20w50/PP10w30. Got two of these from rock auto. Probably not going with them again after this, pleat spacing is horrible, yet everything was firm. Ripped off the gasket on top and used it on the other one which didn't have one of the two gaskets when I got it.

First UOA for me! I was excited/terrified at the same time while waiting for results.This is the longest OCI I’ve ran in about 5 years of ownership. Thought I had a coolant/HG leak but I’m pleasantly surprised to not have that issue. Not sure exactly how much oil consumption took place because...

Came off a customers Dodge Ram that does landscaping. Looks good!

I picked up 7 Quarts of Pennzoil 20w50 at Napa recently for 3.79 a quart, my old bimmer takes about 6.1 quarts. Thinking of going for a mix of four quarts of 20w50 to two PP 10w30s Thinking of running a 3750+ oci with this possibly. Kind of conflicted because on one hand I feel this is a good...

I went ahead and ordered a test kit sometime last week, I haven’t seen anything in the mail. I’m wondering if my request even went through since I did not get any sort of confirmation email, do they not send an email? Someone enlighten me here. Thanks.

This filter came off a 2003 Chevy Malibu with about around 143k I think (customer’s car). Oil used was Mobil 5w30. This filter was not having any of that extended OCI...looks like a pencil was poked through it almost. ADBV was stiff and kinda stayed bent after squeezing it hard enough.

Decided to stock up on filters for the old bimmer since RockAuto was having a clearance sale. Ordered two Champs and two UltraPower brand filter that actually turned out to be Donaldson! (Score) but I opened one of the Champ boxes to find a gasket completely missing. Filter was $1.70 not sure if...

After always using Castrol GTX 20w50 for the first couple of oil changes in my old BMW I’ve ventured into using HDEO because of high zinc/phos content and cheap price after learning these old straight 6s like a healthy dose. I’ve used M1 15w50, Delo cj4 15w40, frankenbrew, and current fill is...

Ran this on my GF’s 2016 Hyundai Sonata, Did well! Pretty thick media.
