Pretty sure that's not how this saying goes.

Kind of surprised I had to scroll so far before someone caught that.

Kind of curious about why the two o's in 'fool' were self-censored, too.

+2. Also don't buy Royal Purple or Amsoil and the marketing fluff that comes with it. Running a script are you.


Actually all of the Amsoil and RP in my stash were bought on clearance from either oreilly or Walmart
Sorry

I just want to try different oils and see if I can hear a difference in engine sound or see a difference in UOA. if after a few UOA of redline/sustina it looks close to the same as my 3.5K castrol snythetic analysis, I will switch back to M1 EP for more testing with it. I checked my RL before leaving yesterday and it was in between full/low holes on the dip stick. If you put exactly 3 quarts into a 3A92 you get this level, 3.25=all the way to the full mark, the manual states that between these holes is where the oil level should be. After 8K miles no oil has been used, lots of idling and abuse as well (taxi).

I know the fram ultra's are very good filters but they still don't advertise 99.6% filtration that the M1-110 EP does, they advertise 99% efficiency. The M1-110 EP is rated for 15K miles just like the Ultra. Currently the fram ultra XG7317 is 8.97 at walmart vs 8.50 for the M1-110 on amazon.

please post links for your facts, i cant find anything that says a M1 is 99.6% efficient at 20microns

the M1 uses blended media, same as a pureone and a bosch distance plus

from mobils own website

LINK HERE

Fram ultra shows 99.7 @25 microns according to Mobil
M1 filter is 99.6@25 microns according to mobil

now ask yourself WHY mobil doesnt post data of filtering @20 microns?
or 15 microns?
or 10 microns?

I know Walmart and O'Reilly sells Royal Purple, but I was unaware that either sold Amsoil.

Oreilly sold off all their amsoil on clearance last summer
Walmart had rp 0w20 on clearance this summer

This will put me past my OCI, should I just slap some M1 EP/M1-110 for now or should I wait for my sustina 0w20 to come in? I am ordering the sustina on thursday and the cheapest place I have found is... http://www.ft86speedfactory.com/eneos-su...sg#.VhsDucu6cok

everyone else seems to be out of stock.
If you believe all the hype about syn oil why don't you believe that is lasts longer?

Lets go already, I want to see the 8K mile UOA
