Maybe all oil isn’t the same?

Sorry brotato chip.

But that's a P66 bottle.


according to their latest D1G3, Shell is making some too now:

Product name : ACDelco 5W-30 dexos1 gen3
Product code : 001G2275
Manufacturer or supplier's details Manufacturer/Supplier : Shell Oil Products US PO Box 4427 Houston

So I see what you’re saying, I know that Honeywell and champion labs make their filters. I personally have never seen those P66 bottles like that at a GM store. I have put my hands on thousands of quarts. Could be that service fills are Mobil and they sell the P66 at say Walmart or parts store. My in laws get their oil from dealership and it’s Mobil bottles. I will check parts stores now to see. It’s 100% Mobil at the dealership.

Is Honeywell even still in the automotive filter game? Thought they went after they stopped making oil filters for Fram many years ago. This is all I could find in terms of Honeywell filters.

Sorry I’m thinking old school FRAM and just typed Honeywell off my brain.

Wasn't there a big valve spring recall (they could fail and do major damage) on some engines too?

Not super up to date on that one, possibly… never personally owned an FA or FB so I’m not quite as up on those. I’ve just got 15 years of trouble-free EJ & EZ ownership to reference personally.

End plate fuel oil filters are not that “automotive” …

Yeah, that was the point of saying they are probably out of the automotive filter game since that is the only filter that comes up that Honeywell makes today.

Not that very long ago , Honeywell had their hands in almost everything. Wonder what happened?

Chasing more profitable areas and trying hard to not follow in GE’s footsteps.

Honeywell is now trading on the NASDAQ and is included in the Dow Jones.

Moly takes a while to plate up and work.
Tick goes away, right after change.

I bet it's a slight viscosity change.

All of Mobil 1 oils are usually on the thinner side
Valv is the opposite.

Now that would be a very good idea!
