Thanks for the info. I was going to test the coolant before I added a coolant filter to my truck ('02 F350 w/PSD). I think I'll go ahead and drain/flush the system and replace the thermostat at the same time that I add the filter setup. I'm still just under 60K miles on the truck. The way prices...

Have you received the results, yet?

Are there test strips that can be used with the gold coolant? I know there are for the green coolant, but I'm not sure if they could also be used with the gold stuff.

Yea, it's beginning to look as if the answer we get depends on what page happens to be open in front of the person answering the question. And, for all we know, it may be from a Cosmopolitan, or Mother Earth News magazine!! I know it'll be a month, two, or even more, but let's let the UOAs...

The Baldwin B164 is a perfectly fine filter for a bypass setup. It has a 1/16" orifice and is rated at 1-3gpm flow, without adding any restrictions. The ratings that Tim says he got from Gina Johnikins aren't the ratings she gave me. She told me that the B50 and B164 were 98.??% efficient at 2...

These particle counts for the B50 absolutely show that it is a very efficient, and very cost effective, bypass oil filter. Certainly beats spending over $500 on some of the other bypass filter setups, even if they might prove to be minutely more efficient. Every comparison that I've seen...

Yeah, I'll have to find some of the oil change stickers for her windshield! I almost didn't post this UOA because of the long interval. But, I wasn't quite embarassed enough not to. And, it is HER car. :-) I've used Pennzoil in everything, except my diesels, for over 40 years and have always...

What do they call a blonde who dyed her hair brown? Artificial Intelligence.

How do you drown a blonde? Put a scratch-and-sniff at the bottom of the swimming pool.

I take it you have the Cummins. I'm glad to see the good numbers on the UOA. I just put this same setup on my PSD. It'll be a couple thousand more miles before I change oil to get a test run. Is the Rotella that you're using the synthetic? Thanks for the good info.

Well, I get the feeling that Steve S thinks that it's "Still in grade." So that's good. ;-) My wife drives fairly sane; but, our daughter has driven this car for at least 500 of the miles on the oil. When I changed the oil, I changed over to Mobil 1, 5W30, to try it out. So far, I can't tell any...

Pablo, I only see a small "x" in your post, nothing else.

I'm very happy with the setup I had installed. I'll pay 1/4 as much for each replacement filter, compared with the Amsoil BP replacement. And, the filters I'm going to continue to use will filter the oil sufficiently to give me more peace of mind, since they are actually refrigerant filters. The...

Can anyone direct me to a better way to post these report images? I haven't figured out how to get it to load into the post.

This is the UOA for my wife's Honda. She's supposed to let me know when it needs an oil change.... still working on that. Do y'all feel the same way they do about the lead content?
