Fram xg3980 and a Quaker state qs3980

[jhellwig]

Bought a suburban a couple of months ago. Changed the oil as soon as I got it. Oil was unknown but had a recent looking fram ultra on it. Don't know how long either was in it. Cut open the fram today and saw lots of grit in the bottom of the pleats and in the can. Filter looked great.





When I changed it I used ultra 0w-40 and a Quaker state filter. I had planned on running it for 5k but I had pulled the valve covers to replace the gaskets and saw it was fairly varnished up but no sludge. After seeing the grit in the lsat filter I changed it today with valvoline white bottle sm 10w-40 and a super wix filter. The ultra had about 3k on it. I think I will do 2.5k changes for a little while

The qs had some grit and chunks in it.




Ps the Quaker state had louvers and the motor didn't die.

Yes this is the new fad slits vs holes supposedly some people think the slits will cause your car to spontaneously combust and everyone in the car will be sent straight to he.ll

But they have louvers. Some people on here don't like that.

I think it's more than that, the math (at least for the ones with the holes) has been demonstrated to him repeatedly and yet the song continues.

 

[robo339]

I like the slits better than the holes lol call me crazy
