Good Afternoon Everyone, Question . . . Is the SuperTech MP oil filter (Blue Can) being phased out? My local WalMart is no longer selling them and with the extra space the filters have been rearranged in ascending price from the bottom shelf to the top. Included at the bottom level are the OEM...

I'm looking for guidance on an oil weight for my son's 2014 Subaru Forester Limited to reduce oil usage. He recently purchased the vehicle with 166,100 miles. He has 1,671 highway miles on the oil change he did when he bought vehicle and today he is down exactly 1/2 liter and we added 17 ounces...

Good Morning, This topic was a spin off (off topic) within a different thread so I decided to start a new one. Getting close to doing an oil change on my 2019 Jeep Grand Cherokee. I've standardized on Fram oil filters for their performance, availability, value and made in USA for my vehicles...

I purchased this ExtraGuard today at my local WalMart. In following BITOG protocols I took it out of the box and inspected it. The baseplate holes are in the shape of the Titanium filter with the "FRAM POWERFLOW™ TECHNOLOGY". The filter was manufactured on July 20, 2023. There is nothing on the...

Good Morning, I did some checking to see how accurate the competitor’s cross reference lookup is in the Fram, Purolator and Wix websites. My analysis below is on our 2021 Subaru Forester and 2019 Jeep Grand Cherokee. In the application lookup column are the filters that the manufacturer has...

Here are the pictures of a Fram Tough Guard TG3675 that was on my 1986 Jeep CJ7 with the 258CI (4.2L) straight six. The filter was on for 1.3 years (31 months), 2,136 miles filtering 5 quarts of Valvoline High Mileage 10W-30 Synthetic Blend oil. The orange on the can was from me touching up the...

I have a 2019 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited with the 3.6L V6. It uses a cartridge style filter. Question: Does the oil cooler assembly contain anti drain back capability for the cartridge housing? Thank you.

I installed a new 2150 carburetor that I purchased from Amazon for my 1986 Jeep CJ7. The out of the box quality of the carburetor is excellent. It installed easily and I have all new vacuum lines. The engine started immediately but goes to 2,800 rpm so I shut it down for fear of damage. I...

I own a Subaru Forester and a Jeep Grand Cherokee. The Forester uses a spin on filter and the Grand Cherokee uses a cartridge. When I compare the two, visually the cartridge filter is so much simpler than the spin on but is priced higher. Have a look a the comparison table below. I took a shot...

Reaching out for your recent experiences (within the last couple years) using the red can Purolator oil filter. This model starts with an L prefix in its SKU number. I find it positioned well between the extra Guard and Tough Guard. For only a few cents more it has better efficiency than the...

My second oil sample on the 2021 Forester. The oil filter was a Fram Tough Guard.

Hello BITOG Community, Below is an Oil Filter Value Analysis that brings together quality and price to achieve a ranking of value for people who change their oil based on their owners manual specification and those that do extended mile oil changes. All the information on the products are from...

I own a 2021 Subaru Forester Limited that I do my own oil changes on. I learned on BITOG that the by pass setting is 27 psi on Subaru branded filters. I use Wix, Fram and Purolator oil filters and found only the Wix has a 27 psi setting. Fram and Purolator spec a lower range as shown in the...

Sharing my first UOA of my 2019 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited. The oil was paired with a Fram Tough Guard TG-11665 oil filter cartridge. I would appreciate the sharing of UOAs of vehicles with the Pentastar 3.6L V6. I’d like to see if the iron shedding reduces over time. At 28,933 miles I was...

This is an early UOA for my 2021 Subaru Forester Limited. This oil was paired with a Fram Tough Guard TG-7317 oil filter. I got the TBN number because I was curious if I could go longer than the 6,000 miles specified in the manual. I’d welcome comments on experiences extending the OCI on this...

I ran across an ad for Amsoil's new synthetic transmission fluid for V-Twins. If anyone is using this I would be interested to know if it's viscosity is similar to standard red ATF. A number of automotive manual transmissions are spec'd to use ATF and I've been curious why it wouldn't work in a...

Here is my UOA for Mystik 15W-50 JT8 semi synthetic oil on my 2013 96 CID Harley Street Bob. The oil was in my bike from Feb-Oct of 2017 in temperatures ranging from 40 to 90 degrees with the majority of the miles in the 60-70 degree range. My riding style is solo, interstate cruising at 65-75...
