Post your latest oil change

[wemay]

wemay: is that a MANN or MAHLE filter? Thank You friend ☮

Hi @53' Stude

It's a FRAM CH11784. Walmart had it on sale a few months back for $5. Regular price is $10. I bought 6. You actually put my mind at ease about these when in a past thread I was worried about the center opening being too small. You and, I believe @ZeeOSix explained that once saturated with oil, the fit is just fine and snug. Which has been my experience to a tee. Thanks as always.

Hope all is well buddy.

Thank You Wemay and you are correct. I am well sir

Looks about right for an EcoTec filter, I think the only filters that don't consistently come out crumpled are wire backed media filters.

In a year we'll see how the wire backed fram holds up.

Do you know if the engine computer has to do some adjustment when you swap the viscosity? Like the electronics does when you change the fuel type, I forgot the exact term for it. Just realized you went 0w30 to 5w20 and it got me thinking if the hardware notices that at all

Good question. I seriously doubt it but not 100% sure.

I doubt it too. Btw that Magnatec looks so cool in the new jar, I hope the molecules are serving you well

Thanks, feels fine and I hope so too. OCI will be <5k.
