    Use the search function, I am not going to spend my time finding all of the relevant discussions about people discussing esters to clean their engine just to please you.

    Using Stihl HP Ultra 2 stroke oil as an Ester additive

    First let me preface this by saying I am not currently adding this oil to my crank case nor do I recommend blending your own oil... But with that said, I cannot even count how many times I have seen people blabbering on this forum about "esters" and cleaning your engine with esters. So I wanted...

    Check out my magnets on my oil filter

    I have pics of only one.. but its a similar setup. I run XG4967 or XG4386 and i happened to have some old Xtended guards that needed to be used up first.. so i put the magnets onto it. I will have an XG4967 in a couple more thousand miles to post some pics of... You can see a little tiny...

    Fram OG Ultra & Synthetic Endurance (Just some pics)

    I originally thought the Synthetic Endurance had plastic mesh backing, and a thinner media.. but it seems that may have been just one model I saw in a YouTube video.. These two filters were both identical except for color. Very robust, and the media felt thick.. I honestly could not tell any...

    Brands ranks video test wix xp royal purple and purolater boss results shocking

    I have Fram Ultras in XG4386 in the OG Wire backed, as well as the new type. If anyone doing the testing reads this, I will offer them up. I have been dying to know if they perform similarly... the new ones are rather thin... and not very confidence inspiring compared to the OG ones which...

    Brands ranks video test wix xp royal purple and purolater boss results shocking

    I am confused as to how they got the Purolator Boss performing better than Royal Purple. From reading this forum, I thought the consensus was that the old style Fram Ultra was the best, followed by the Royal Purple. I remember the Purolator Boss being well behind both of them in the Ascent...

    Rislone Engine Treatment - Smells like Strong Chemicals

    Part# 100QR Rislone Engine Treatment 32oz / 1qt The MSDS claims “Fruity Smell” but in reality it has a strong chemical smell (to me) like paint thinner, acetone, etc. It makes me wonder what exactly they have inside of the stuff to perform the cleaning. The TMP ester is great for cleaning…...

    Used Fram Xtended Guard (Ultra) - over a decade old!!!

    I only ran this for 3,000 miles. I was concerned how such an old oil filter would hold up. I bought it as old stock, it had been on the shelf unused for all these years. Well these Fram Ultras are built like tanks. Over a decade old and ZERO issues. Good rubber gasket, and nice and flexible...

    The Decline Of Rock Auto

    I have only great experiences with rockauto… They are not trying to pad the shipping fees… I work in the shipping industry and prices are insane compared to how they used to be… And the reason that the location “A“ “B” “C” etc changes when you move items to and from your cart is not only that...

    SuperTech still decent oil?

    Yes, I emailed the seller ahead of time and he ensured me that it was fresh stock. Sure enough, the bottles were fresh stock and actually shipped from a WalMart just 15 miles away from me. It’s a long weird story, but he is a drop shipper and selling oil via Walmarts website with a coupon...

    Rislone Engine Treatment - Smells like Strong Chemicals

    LOL - I switched from Mobil 1 to Pennzoil Platinum, so it’s just some leftover I have from a 5qt jug. And before that I was getting dealer oil with 8-10k OCIs as recommended by Toyota… only problem is my dealer was giving me aftermarket parts and not always using genuine Toyota oil. They were...

    Rislone Engine Treatment - Smells like Strong Chemicals

    I know this is beyond un-scientific... but I was smelling my Mobil 1 EP, Pennzoil Platinum, and Redline HP to see what the fuss was about as far as esters smelling fruity... I may be biased but Redline in ways smelt quite similar to Mobil 1 EP but definitely had much fruiter background notes...

    Oil Filter Multi-pass Efficiency Testing Service Available for New and Used Filters, Just Mail them in.

    The ones I really want to see are below New Fram Ultra - mostly 15 micron and 10 micron. The old Fram ultra was still over 99% at 15 micron. Correct me if I am wrong but we could raise $800 and get the 15 micron and 10 micron on the Fram Ultra, Correct? Champ XL - is it as good as Royal...

    “Testing oil filters”

    I just watched this. I am very surprised the K&N performed better than the Fram? I know K&N oil filters are made by Champ labs who also makes Royal Purple… so it’s believable… but I don’t know if I believe the testing just because he didn’t say if it was done by a certified facility etc
