    UOA insolubles vs oil filter efficiency

    I think other than the UOA it's up to you to research out the different brands of filters and their filter capacity .

    0W-8 is here: JASO GLV-1

    Its 1955. What oil are you using?

    I was born in August of 1955 . Dad had a 53 Chev 2 door he had bought new . Don't know what oil he used but when I was a few years old I recall it not starting when hot and him cussing it out . Likely had a sinple vapor lock issue.

    Parking car outside for about 2.5 months

    Hall , a full cell is aprox 2.1 volts . As soon as it begins to drop from that any amount (10V) it's not good for the plates.

    Parking car outside for about 2.5 months

    It's always best to keep a battery fully charged , letting it go dead starts the plates to sulfate.

    Parking car outside for about 2.5 months

    If there is a lot of dampness/condensation that gets at your brakes you may have some issues with noisy rusted rotors or have a siezed slide or caliper but not a lot you can do about it . Good advice from the others .

    Turn Signals?????????

    Driving properly with some courtesy has almost vanished. I see so many in a rush for no reason and causing accidents . Along with signals people making left turns and drifting across lanes drives me nuts . Just one of many poor driving habits you see now.
