I changed the oil on my 2010 Honda CRV today and found out the hard way that the rubber gasket from the old Fram XG7317 filter stuck to the oil filter block. When I installed the new Fram Ultra, the new rubber gasket mounted right up against the old rubber gasket. I couldn't see this as I was...

Why do people still hate Pennzoil? Quote: Penzoil is practically the worst motor oil out there. I dare say it is the single WORST name brand oil available on the market. Let me state that I do use some oils that would be classified as "botique oils" but I don't use them for everything. I use...
