Sorry if I'm late to the party in knowing about this if it has been public knowledge, but I cut open a Champ XL PH2867XL recently and accidently dropped the internal filter on the floor. Much to my surprise the metal endcap quite literally popped off revealing that the actual filter endcap is...

STORY TIME! So a company recruited me to come work for them and I received a low mileage 2021 Ford Bronco Sport as my work vehicle. This vehicle has the 1.5L Dragon 3-cylinder Ecoboost engine with dual injection. Maintenance history is that the FF was changed back in December 2021 after 9300...

I saw this post and wanted to start a new thread: https://bobistheoilguy.com/forums/threads/walmart-low-on-oil.347798/post-5960814 A month ago today I left my employer who I had been working for since July 2018 due to the fact that business had seen a major downturn (despite posting record...

So I am planning to do an oil change on a 2021 Honda with the J35Y6 engine that Wix specs their 57356 series oil filters for. I have a box of several Wix 57055 oil filters available to use and both the 57356 and 57055 are nearly identical in size and have the same threads. Both cross reference...

Used on 2012 Hyundai Accent GLS between 105,000 - 113,000 miles. First OCI was Valvoline Synthetic Maxlife 0w20 for 4000 miles, second OCI was three quarts of the same Valvoline and one-half quart of Rotella T6 5w30 Multi Vehicle for 4000 miles. I have posted in a previous engine noise thread...

So I am helping someone work through an insurance claim with the McClone Agency which represents Cincinnati Insurance in my area. The vehicle that is the subject of the claim has $7200 worth of damage as the result of an accident covered by insurance. The part of the equation that is bothering...

So I have a 2012 Accent GLS with the GF4D Gamma GDI engine and 109,000 miles. Over the last 20,000 miles I have been shortening my oil change intervals due to an ever increasing amount of engine noise that always develops as time and mileage adds up. For example I changed the oil this morning...

Upon doing a little research on the websites of Royal Purple and Amsoil I noticed that Amsoil has published a 99% @ 20 micron efficiency rating while Royal Purple has published 99% @ 25 microns, 98.7% @ 20 microns, and 80% @ 10 microns. As these two brands have been acknowledged as having...

For your viewing pleasure I cut up my second oil filter yesterday, a Fram Ultra XG7317. I left it in the clamp to drain overnight and I looks waaaay better than the XG9688 I took off my Hyundai GDI recently. Of note I did compare the resistance of the bypass value springs and the 9688 had a...

Used on 2012 Hyundai Accent GLS between 96,000 - 105,000 miles. First OCI was Mobil 1 0w40 for 5000 miles, second OCI was Rotella T6 5w30 Multi Vehicle for 4000 miles. Engine developed a tick after about 8500 miles and it has a reputation for doing so based on variables related to the oil...

Used for one year and 10,000 miles on a 2005 Dodge Sprinter between 158,000 - 168,000 miles. Oil used was 50/50 0w40 from Mobil 1 and Valvoline.

I tried out the K&N HP-1010 oil filter on my 2018 Subaru Outback 2.5L. I got a deal on at AAP for buying it with the oil and I am disappointed with it. Of note though when I began unscrewing the oil filter it seems like the entire content of oil came rushing out and began to pool around the...

For my Audi I would normally use Mann or maybe Mahle but I am a big fan of RP's synthetic media filtration due to the combination of increased efficiency and flow. My only concern is that the RP filter for my 2003 Allroad 2.7L, number 20-253, is an inch shorter than the "big can" Mann filter I...

Subaru previously stated that this oil filter can go as long as 7500 miles, now their current recommendation is 6000 miles. Has anyone had any good results extending their oci using this filter beyond 7500 miles?
