    New Supertech oil

    Today I saw a new Supertech oil for vehicles over 75000 miles. It was in 5 quart bottles that were reddish if I remember correctly. Price was about 6.55 for 5 quarts. Comes in 10-30 and 10-40 viscosities. Anybody with some insights into this oil? Mike

    Vastly decreased tappet noise

    I've been running Super Tech 10W-30 oil in my '99 Tacoma for about a year. It ran good, I guess, but I was getting a fair amount of tappet noise over the last 6 months or so.

    Bypass filters vs. using the best modern oils

Does his getting huge mileage out of his car disprove the value of a bypass filter, or are there other benefits to using a...

    Mounting Frantz bypass unit

    With my 99 Tacoma 4 banger, I had a quandary as to where to mount the filter cannister and how to mount it, too. I've used magnets to stick the cannister in a corner not adaptable for drilling and bolting the unit in. It's worked well. The Frantz takes standard TP rolls,all you have to do is...
