Truth.I find it funny that a dissected filter showing carbon crumbs or is collecting sludge gets accolades when certain products are used, then challenged when other products are used.

Yes, if I lived in Ontario, I would buy some 5 gallon gasoline cans in Walmart that fit in my trunk (perhaps 3 of those), and then would cross border to fill up the car's gas tank in US + fill up the the 3 additional 5 gallon jugs. You can bug a $1 funnel in Walmart that fits into gas tank hole and makes it easy to pour.I sent an email to Valvoline asking when it was going to be available in Canada and that person said they didn’t know when that would happen
I don’t live too far from the border so I bought a jug of it from a Walmart in Niagara Falls NY
Not really something I would ever do, especially if I’m in the Corvette since I would be smelling those gas fumes from the hatch area directly behind meYes, if I lived in Ontario, I would buy some 5 gallon gasoline cans in Walmart that fit in my trunk (perhaps 3 of those), and then would cross border to fill up the car's gas tank in US + fill up the the 3 additional 5 gallon jugs.

You could probably save $100 a month doing that.
That top row looks like a totally different piston design to the bottom row. Am I missing something?

Accurate.Where exactly in Ontario, because I can leave my home, drive for 24 hours with a few small road stops, and still be in Ontario at the end of the day.
Exactly, when certain products are used and dump all sort of junk in the filter it is like Moses just parted the red sea, if it is any other product and does it it is like Dr evil just dumped a sketchy product on consumers.I find it funny that a dissected filter showing carbon crumbs or is collecting sludge gets accolades when certain products are used, then challenged when other products are used. Even when the filter is a one off, and no others from the vehicle are shown to compare it to. No brands or products in particular, just an observation that dates back here a very long time.
Yes it will occur no matter what viscosity is used, but having stuck rings can certainly increase the rate of fuel dilution because there is more ring blow-by when the rings are stuck and not sealing like they should be when 100% free.Short trips, low miles over long duration, will create fuel dilution no matter what oil is used (<5K/6 months) even on a new car with fresh clean rings.

Canada is big, big, big, but isn't it also more or less empty? I think I read that something like >90% of the population of Canada resides within 100 miles of the southern border and the majority of the rest live in the Maritimes? (That's 160 kilometers for the wicked.Accurate.
I love those "The American mind can't comprehend" memes that show you can go through 7 countries in the span of a few hours. You can fit Germany in Ontario 3x, the "oh, just build some cables to connect to wind power in Alberta" it's like, they simply don't understand the scale. The James Bay watershed in Quebec is 4x the size of Denmark and the reservoirs alone for the James Bay Project cover an area twice the size of Holland.
Im fine with that, there is no fun being normal. Theres Facebook and Reddit for the normie crowd. BiTOG gets its own unique share of success and horror stories but also the occasional entertainment when a simple question turns into a 40 page debate amongst BiTOGers.BITOG....a strange corner of the interwebz....
I got your back, in 5 months or less ill post some pics of the friends KIA oil fill port cleaning progress.When Valvoline offers a Youtube video on how four separate OCIs of this stuff progresses over time in a TGDI-sooty engine, I'll become more-of a believer.
BITOG must be extra weird if Redit counts as normie, LOL.Im fine with that, there is no fun being normal. Theres Facebook and Reddit for the normie crowd.

See that old dude with that fast beater at the track? Under the hood is a clean valve train. 500,000 miles, how does he do it? Must be a thickie type of guy. Those types really hate the EPA and their CAFE. He sure knows something we dont.

Looks like a BITOGer produced this for sure. "I've got some xyz in my filter, that means [add a myriad of things that you have no idea what caused them]"."This filter was basically completely clogged."
How did he test that?
Just going by the looks & scraping a little bit off?
I'm sure the Valvoline was to blame for all that junk in the Ford filter.Looks like a BITOGer produced this for sure. "I've got some xyz in my filter, that means [add a myriad of things that you have no idea what caused them]".
