    Seems like OK deal on a mower?

    https://www.mtdparts.com/equipment/mtdparts/mtd-gold-21-self-propelled-mower-12avb2a9704 I called and they have it for $216, free shipping no tax except Ohio. I bought one. I thought it was a good value for the features and has the no oil change engine, the next grade above their base engine.

    No more oil changes

    Maybe this was already posted. They say the air filter and sealed oil tube keeps the oil clean. https://www.briggsandstratton.com/na/en_...technology.html

    Fram Ultra media not used in their racing filter.

    Why is it? The Ultra is supposed to be the best flowing, strongest, but for racing they don't choose it. Just a question, nothing more.

    Looking in center tube 2- Baldwin

    The center tube is jagged and doesn't go all the way to the end cap. Hard to get a good shot of it without can opened. Goes about half way around with the gap and looks worse by eye than this. The yellowish media can be seen and the center tube edge. Another waste of money.

    Glue down in center tube issue

    I recently removed a TG4386 off my daughters car and found two glue shards, one in the center tube and one on the baseplate. Very angry as it is a father's responsibility to do a good job, even though it wasn't my fault. I still put the filter on bottom line. It could be there are still pieces...

    Bosch 3311

    U code year Bosch Premium used on my lawn mower. No defect. Nice adbv, just a good design, perfect centering. Round holes in spiral center tube. These had a high efficiency rating too, don't remember what. Should have left it on another few years, or forever. Replaced with Delco pf1233.

    Puro Boss videos

    I don't know if this has been shown before. "nothing gets by us" "nothing gets by you" I found it sort of funny, given the cut adbv problem and closed louver problem. Among the problems. It is the plastic net they are trying to tear, not the media IMO. There are like three clips...

    It's still on new Fram website

    www.fram.com/media/1070/fluidfilterrating.pdf "End-users should also be wary of numbers games – they can also be played with B ratios. B ratios higher than 75 indicate little additional improvement in filtering efficiency. Furthermore, the test procedure to develop the B ratio is valid only for...

    New Fram looks and media?

    I was looking trying to find out if Fram changed their fiber end cap to round shape from segmented, hexagonal or whatever it was, and noticed the TG also has been reworked in media. Maybe it's old news. Couldn't find a filter blow up cross section either. Looks pretty good to me, the TG...

    Delco PF1233, Baldwin B37, Luber Finer PH477

    The Luber Finer is a very heavy filter with silicone adbv and they claim full synthetic. The base is very thick don't know what the story is why. There is a mark right across the base plate like something dragged across it. Doesn't have any noticeable depth so should be OK. The Baldwin B37 is...

    Supertech ST4386

    I cut the super tech open awhile back. I didn't like much about it. The ADBV was made of this odd rubbery material that wasn't very springy, retains it's shape. The one picture I bent the lip to show how it isn't very springy and has a bad memory. I can see why people have problems with it. The...

    This oil filter discussion

    seems to be dwindling and boring. I guess the strong opinions prevailed and the meeker decided it wasn't worth it to argue. I'm the latter. Or maybe with 3 oci filter intervals no one in changing filters much. Personally I look forward to changing the oil filter each time. Then I can research...

    Denso air filters

    Just a FYI for the good Bitog people. Denso Products has free shipping on their air filters and I know for my Toyota Camry and Prius they were very cheap for the OE quality. My Camry filter is under $7. https://www.densoproducts.com/Automotive-DensoProducts-l1351.aspx

    Baldwin filters defects words only

    I bought some Baldwin and Hastings from Zoro. Trying to use USA made is the goal. Very nice, I was happy at first. Looking inside the BT223 I see the center tube in one area not extending all the way down to the base. The sharp cut metal end was exposed, and media seen behind in the gap. Both of...

    Bosch Distance Plus 3325 cut open

    Used 5K miles over about 10 months. I was pretty impressed by the ADBV setup on this one. No neck on the end cap, the ADBV is the neck, and done right so there is a space to open into. The ADBV has three nubs to center the valve over the thread precisely, nice detail. I don't know the date but...

    ST4386 cut open

    This is a new ST filter in the smaller size. It has a purplish adbv. The adbv is made of a strange rubber. It seems to have some memory. In the side picture of it, the sealing part is still returning to it's shape after I bent it up. Infatuation with glossy new, chamfered inlet holes, outer...
