    Old Fram Ultra XG2870A used 1 yr ~5800mi 2015 Ford Escape

    I bought several of these for less than $4/filter on eBay last year and this is the first one I have ran on my dad's 2015 Escape, they're all made from around 2011-2015, this one was probably made in 2012 or early 2013, I couldn't make out the date code as it was too small and almost like it was...

    Any idea who manufactured this Duralast battery.

    I was scrolling through Facebook marketplace and came across a listing for a 24F Duralast battery that was clearly made by Hankook-AtlasBX so I did some more searching around and found some Duralast Gold batteries that were made by Exide which is new to me because I thought Exide only made the...

    Anyone Else Seen Exide made Everstart Maxx batteries?

    I got a less than a year old Everstart Maxx battery off a guy who scraps cars today for a decently low price, said it came from an Astro Van that someone locked up running it low on oil, looked good on the tester, held at 12.75 volts after a week with a 3.6milliohm IR so it seems to be in decent...

    New Fram Size 12447 an aftermarket for AC Delco PF66

    I came across that Fram now has an equivalent for the PF66 The Extra Guard appears that it might just be the same as a Champ made PF66 just with a Fram Paint Job, but the weird thing is they have a Fram Ultra part on Walmart's website, but not yet listed on Fram's website but it's also clearly a...

    10W-40 Maxlife claims ILSAC GF-6A and Displays the API Starburst on the Front of the Package

    I just noticed that the 3 jugs of Maxlife 10W-40 I recently purchased all say that the oil "Meets or exceeds all requirements of ILSAC GF-6A," which I could see if they made a semantic error trying to say that it passes all the tests except the fuel economy related ones which wouldn't be...

    I happened to come across a listing for Quaker State Full Synthetic High Mileage 10W-30 on Walmart.com , it's got photos of packaging with the right grade listed on it, but the Quaker State website still has no reference to 10W-30 FSHM, so I don't know if this is a new product or a listing...

    Virgin Old XG2870A C&P

    I ordered 6 of these last year and one arrived dented near the base crimp so I wouldn't use it, so I sacrificed it for science, the conclusion is this ~8-9 year old Ultra would have been a great filter if it didn't get dented. I scratched off the date code trying to hack saw it, but the...
