2004 Ford Taurus Vulcan 3.0 - almost 13k OCI. Orange Can Fram 3600 "Didn't fit." Car had 145,389 miles. Attempted to show some of the oil coming out, as well as verifying mileage on the car. Topped off with HPL Please let me know if anyone else would like to see anything else on the filter...

Well, at least in Brick NJ store it is. But it wouldn't surprise me if it is off the shelf elsewheres... I was in and out so I didn't have presence of mind to take a photo, but. It's gone. I will admit, I bought it at least once to "try it out," as is the AMAZING power of marketing but.. is...

So, I have some miscellaneous things that I am realizing I will likely never use, some I just don't want anymore.. and, while I'm not in a crunch to "make space" or anything like that, I would like to see if there is any interest. If interested, please reply in this thread or send DM if you have...

Again, while this particular instance could be construed (in my case) to a Sunwest 2.5L SOHC EJ251 "Enhanced short block" https://sunwestautoinc.com/product/subaru-ej25-short-block-2-5l-sohc-1999-2005/ mated to some Subaru Reconditioned Non-EGR heads that should be for it, and with Six Star...

So. I believe I found this particular coolant, I should post the SDS in the other thread but. Yes it is manufactured in Illinois for Subaru and it is this: That, and the basically 100% new coolant application.. very simple question: Should I use and add the Holts Rad Weld a.k.a. this stuff...

OK! So, aside from discussing the CTEK MXS 5.0 in general.. In my specific application, the battery WAS ran down to "dead enough to need a jump start" in the recent overheat/blown radiator incident in the Subaru. (Lots of jump starting from the Taurus. This is now my profile banner pic, too...

So, This thread is intended to be about engine specific applications of POAT coolant perhaps replacing the conventional IAT coolant... like, specifically, Either if a car came with it already, or if the cooling system was being completely refilled after being empty and flushed. In my specific...

I'm having trouble getting good information about this. P0538 disables the air conditioning (this example is related to a 2004 Ford Taurus, Vulcan) I knew it was something like that when compressor could be manually engaged and changing $10 solenoid did nothing. Turns out P0538 is a "Thermistor"...

This is an attempt to make a thread about RMI-25. I do not see a whole lot of discussion nor information about it. Only a little bit. On a leap of faith, I decided to add the 8 ounces (should be 1/4 of the 32oz. bottle it comes in) to our Taurus in the signature, which is now seeing increased...

Good morning all! Hoping we could run down some "interview tips." I have a BIG interview tomorrow morning, and I hope I get moved to the next round. I will say, it is for a government job and its over Webmeeting or some kind of virtual.. still, though, they could advance me or not, and I want...

Off the Ford. A little over 3000 miles. Date code A30381 How does it look? Marks are from filter pliers getting it off the engine EDIT: @StumblingElk 2nd cousin to the UOAs and VOAs 🤣🤣🤣 @Brian123 Thank you! @Dave Hess Why such little miles?.. 1. Cars/engines and me don't usually get...

I'm sort of happy I got out of the auto industry for work... As to Ford, article this morning: https://www.freep.com/story/money/cars/ford/2023/06/26/ford-alerts-salaried-employees-job-cuts-coming-over-next-two-days/70358170007/ Your thoughts?

Decided to rip it apart during my morning breakfast. This filter feels really well made. Some sort of satin metal finish. Date code on this one is 22355AF 15:37 No idea if these are only at Walmart or not.. As shown yesterday, no more sealed boxes.. @Kira noted correctly that the gasket...

Was on my car for 5,000 miles.. in pure coincidence, to the mile. Fram Ultra. About 14,000 miles on the oil. 3rd filter change on the OCI. Date code was A21642 Reason for removal was to get a peel at engine health (any evidence of bearing material? I want to get oil tested to see if there is...

Have to ask.. if anyone has perhaps yet seen this. Something about this movie looks to me like it will be a sub-par "yawn" in an attempt to invoke charming weirdness like Little Miss Sunshine with Steve Carell; it seems to be set in a desert town in it says "1955" . I wonder the initial...

Primarily in the US.. What gas station brands have. Turned into what? (Like for example.. Amoco turning into BP, why you usually don't see an actual Amoco aside from the occasional legacy-themed branded station..) Texaco turned into Chevron? Or.. some of the information is dated and some I've...

About 1000 miles on filter. Reason is HPL oil, seeing how loaded up etc. I didn't take the utility knife and cut open the media off the can but if anyone really wanted to see that maybe I could do that later. Getting ready for my day and that would make my hands super extra oily and also take...

With Fast X coming out (if it comes on TV somewhere then.. ok..) they are auctioning off the one in the opening "Train Heist" of Fast 5. https://www.roadandtrack.com/news/a43988943/the-fast-five-de-tomaso-pantera-is-up-for-grabs/

"Virgin" simply meaning "Unused." Date code A30391 No gasket? No mercy lol Thought I'd finish cutting the paper off the old oily one. (Different filter, these last 2)

Cutting it open... probably about 8000 miles on this filter. Oil not immediately changed. This filter had the HPL No VII 5W-30 in it exclusively, very minimal top-off of other oils as I refilled my HPL at the event on Friday. This filter was on for all the road trips from the initial "zero mile"...
