Thanks all! Appreciate the quick help!

Should have been the WIX 57356XP. It looks like the fitment for Supertech is the Super Tech ST6607

As the title says I was changing the oil & filter on my 2013 Acura RDX. I have a bunch of filters for different vehicles and thought I grabbed one for the RDX, but I think it was for an Accord. The filter in question was a Supertech MP7317. I don't see any leaks and the filter spun on okay...

Only the multi-vehicle T6 is CK-4 and SN. The regular T6 is rated CK-4.

I've searched and can't find a clear answer to this. I just bought a 3-gal case of T6 on Amazon and when checking the delivery dates I only then noticed the 'new' multi-Vehicle version of it. I went and checked the last bottle of it I bought from Walmart a while back and it's the same...

It doesn't look like they got services done at the dealer. The receipts were from a local shop that also did other work on the car over the years so who knows what they were putting in or what filters they were using. The good news is it runs awesome and is in really great shape so there's that...

You know, I had not even considered dissolved varnish. That might make sense, and varnish does look kind of red. Assuming all the prior services were done with bulk oil maybe the T6 is cleaning that out and that's what I saw? I do remember the filter I took off the first oil change was...

Hi everyone - I purchased a used Toyota Highlander (2007 V6 VVTi 3.3l) with 147,000mi last summer. Had it checked out by my mechanic before buying and he gave a thumbs up. It was a Toyota dealer trade in and I found info about the prior owner in the glove box. Looks like she's a married 50-ish...

The FRAM for my Highlander was $27 at Walmart while a replacement with carbon was $9.97 on AMZN. The FRAMs are expensive!

Could be several things. Low refrigerant would cause it to work until it freezes up and then stop working until it thaws repeating the process. Essentially it's freezing up until it stops the fan and then eventually thaws.

Thanks! I appreciate the offer. I suspect I'll be in touch here and there, although I hope to not have that need. There are two items bugging at the moment. The first is all the buttons on the radio, climate control, etc are 'sticky' -- Like there's a coating that's failing. Have you...

Thanks for your thoughts... Appreciate it!

I'm inheriting a 2005 SAAB 9-5 Aero wagon which is a 2.3L I4 16V MPFI DOHC turbo engine. The car has 185,000 miles on it and it runs super smooth. I understand that this vehicle was dealer maintained in it's early life and that the 2005s don't suffer the same sludge issues that plagued the...

I have a '97 Ford Taurus & was wondering if there were any thoughts on the Supertech Mercon ATF fluid? I've looked and couldn't find a specific post on the site. A few things about the Mercon V, but not this porduct. Basically I did a trans line cooler drain & fill/swap using 2 gals of...
