Hi Bitogers, I'm looking for some opinions on which oil to run. I have a 1992 John Deere 318 with an Onan Performer 218 opposed twin. I've owned it around 5 years and I've been Using Amsoil Max Duty 15w40 since I got it. That oil seems to be working fine. I've been wondering about the Amsoil...

Here is the Microgard Select that was ran on my 2014 Nissan Altima 2.5. Was in service about 10 months and 11000 miles with Amsoil Signature series 0w30. Great looking filter! Significantly more media than the Champ XL for the same application. Think this is my "go to" filter now! Champ vs...

Some pics of the Champ XL that was in service for about 18 months and 10k miles on my wife's 2011 Nissan Quest. Silicone Adbv was still soft and pliable. Louvers looked good, well opened up. And the media looked good. I don't normally let the oil and filter go past a year but life got away...

For your viewing is a USA built Baldwin oil filter. This fits older Ford products, equivalent to Motorcraft FL1A. Was on my 1957 Ford 860 tractor. Has been on tractor for 9 months but only about 6 hours of run time. (Tractor purchased in March , has been sitting in a field, old oil was very...

I have a gift card for O'Reilly auto parts and was looking at getting a 5 gallon bucket of their "premium" tractor fluid. I can't really find much data on this, or who makes it. Haven't came across any voa's in my searching either. Just wondering if anyone knows the maker of this or how the...

Silly question, but I have a 1957 Ford 860 tractor I am slowly fixing up. The cooling system has pretty obviously been neglected. I replaced the thermostat and rad hoses and installed new Zerex green coolant. When I had the thermostat housing off, I noticed it was pretty rusty in the housing and...

I just acquired a late 50's Ford 860 tractor. I got to thinking what would be a good coolant to run in it? Most of today's coolants seem geared towards aluminum protection. What's a good coolant to run in this old beast with cast iron engine and copper/brass radiator?

Hi all, Got my 1st modern atv that is liquid cooled. Though it is still new, I'm always looking ahead at future maintenance. It is a Cfmoto, and they do not sell their own line of fluids. The owners manual just states to use a 50/50 coolant mix that is safe for aluminum. Just wondering what...

Just changed the oil on the wife's Nissan Quest. This Amsoil filter was in service about 10 months and 8k miles. Fill was Amsoil Signature series 0w40. Another good looking Amsoil filter. Wire backed media looks good and sturdy construction all around. Same filter and oil went back in and on...

This Korean made Wix 51334 has been in service about 5 months and 4000 miles. Construction appears very close, if not identical to the oem Mann Hummel made filters. No complaints, nice even pleating and robust construction.

Was in service on a Briggs Vanguard v twin for 1 year. No issues noted. Combo valve in this filter, likely due to being too short for a separate bypass valve.

Cut open an Amsoil Ea15k12. Was in service about a year and 7500 miles. No issues noted. I have been using these a few years and always look good. A small filter so short media.

Unbranded quick lube filter from my 2008 Kia Spectra. In service 8 months and 3000 miles according to lube sticker. No issues noted, decent looking filter.

In use for 2 years on John Deere stx38 riding mower. No issues noted.

The wifes Nissan Quest recently rolled 100k miles, so I have been spark plug shopping. Rockauto had NGK Ruthenium for $7.90 each, which was cheaper than iridium, so I pulled the trigger and ordered them, along with a plenum gasket, since it has to be removed to access the 3 rear plugs. Here are...

The Nissan Quest is finally due for some front end work. Can't really complain, 8 years old and 92k miles, northern NY potholes are not kind to front end parts! Had on my friends lift last week and found 1 outer tie rod is slightly loose and the bushings on the control arms are begining to...

First experience with a Motorcraft oil filter. This was on my 2008 f350 for about 10 months and 2500 miles. 2 fails in 1 can. 1st the dome end metal endcap wasn't bonded to the adhesive and fell off. I can live with that, the leaf spring held it all togeather. The 2nd and most unacceptable...

Here are some pics of the Amsoil filter I recently removed from my Cavalier with the 2.2 Ecotec. Was on around 11 months and 10k miles. Held up very well!

I am rebuilding an old home made log splitter I bought on craigslist. I have a new 13gpm pump, and a 10 gallon reservoir. Looking for hydraulic oil (aw 46 is recommended by pump manufacturer), I have found Sinopec aw-46 available to order from Walmart online for $33.50 per 5 gallon pail and free...
