We had to get a new beater car earlier this year as our 2001 Toyota Echo died a horrible death via hit and run. We learned the used car market is horrible in our area, but finally settled on a 2013 Kia Rio with 125,000kms on it. Being a bitog member I immediately started obsessing on how to...

It is still available on amazon.ca: Rislone Hy-per Lube Zinc Supplement Can't seem to find it on .com at the moment. However it looks to be changed from the old formula we liked, I point out the differences I could find here...

Yes starting with the 2018 Rotella oil change I have been adding 4oz to the sump per molakule recommendation. I guess that might be a reason to do another UOA next year. The fact that the Hy-per Lube I added this year is the new formula which doesn't look as useful...

I change the oil once per year around the end of September, start of October. Here is this years report, in typical fashion this car only sees around 4,000kms per year so there is no real chance of depletion or issues to note. The car has a number of bolt on and flex-fuel upgrades and sees...

I was just going to post a new thread on this but figure I can just post my findings here. I too purchased a 6-pack of the Hy-Per Lube Zinc Supplement on amazon thinking I was getting a great deal on that old product I loved. It wasn't until today when I did an oil change and used it did I...

Good to see people finally using alternative filters to the blue subie fram cans. I was told for years to stray from OEM would result in instant death. Although the shoddy cardboard construction is perfectly sufficient for my 3-4k OCI's I have been using XG7313's on my EJ motor for the last...

Time for the annual report on my grocery getter. Back in 2017 when I started getting UOAs there was abnormally high iron levels. Since then they have reduced to an appropriate amount. I never had an explanation, I always add about 100ml of Hyper-Lube Zinc replacement since 2018 onwards based on...

Like most decisions I think it has to do with the almighty dollar. Subaru told Fram what it needed/wanted, Fram came back with their menu of prices for various options. Subaru likely saw the cost of getting better filtration and said, **** it, we'll get the cheap media and crank up the bypass...

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think that would be an issue on this vehicle/engine (ej25)... - Port injection - Doesn't burn oil - Aftermarket high-flow SS cat - Very short OCIs

Have you guys found the viscosity continues to drop? Or does it remain stable in the 11's for the duration of the OCI?

Latest annual test for my Subaru. Yes these OCI's are ridiculously short, I change the oil once a year in September/October and kms are usually only 3-4k. I was tracking some high iron wear a few years ago, but it appears to have worked itself out. I changed the oil just a touch early because...

All my cars except the Toyota only rack up enough miles to be changed annually. That means: 3-4k kms on the Subaru ~8k kms on the Buick ~6k kms on the Hyundai The Toyota gets changed about every 6k kms or whenever I notice the oil level start to drop. She usually starts burning around 5-6k...

Yes it was glued on very well. The fluid would go in the magnet side past the magnet and through the filter.

Ah I didn't think that far ahead.

Canadian Tire, usually get them on sale for $12 plus some CT Money.

I know very short OCI. This comes off my 2010 Subaru STI. At about 1,500kms into this OCI I had a Flex Fuel system installed and pro tuned to use E85 as well as Shell91. It saw a ton of WOT on the dyno as well as afterword with some extra e-tuning. I noticed the oil level drop a little bit. I...

This is off my 2001 Toyota Echo, which calls for the 4967. The 3600 is about 3-4 times the size and this engine shows very little wear in UOAs, I took the "leave it on" to the extreme. The car has a fumoto valve and tends to start burning oil around the 6,000 km mark. So I basically left the...

I had to cut it with my filter cutter (aka exhaust cutter). It is welded together.

Nothing really to report here. Comes off a 2001 Toyota Echo which to be honest doesn't really need an extra transmission filter. I put one in as a project at 250,000kms as well as fluid change and an external transmission cooler (more overkill, I know). Car is just under 280,000kms now. Filter...
