Here's the link, but it has nothing useful but a little safetly kleen PR bits. http://www.ecopoweroil.com

(Did not drive as much over the winter. A little over 8k in 4 months. Slowing down in my old age...)

Toyota Corolla 2005 5 sp 167,000 (ok, 166,976

) last of my Pennzoil conventional 5w-30 stash with a Toyota filter.

Next oil change will be using the Chevron 5w-30 or QS in the stash.

Missed the target miles by a little...

Toyota Corolla 2005 5 sp 178,100 QS 5w-30 and Supertech ST4967 filter. Did have to add about a quart around 8,000 miles and it was down about 1/3 qt when changed.

Whoever designed the 5 qt old style jugs for QS I'd LOVE to meet in a ally. Light or dark!

This was the first time that I've ever had a gasket come off of the filter and get stuck to the block.Caught it though!

Switched my Accent from Castrol Syntec to Pennzoil Ultra. 3745 miies since last oil change due to warranty. Sticking with the Hyundai Filter- I'm not sure who makes them (possibly Hyundai?) but they are extremely well built.
