I’ve had this old Mopar for at least 10 years. It doesn’t fit anything I own anymore so I thought I’d post it here. Basically a Puro clone of the Motorcrafts of the era but with a nitrile ADBV. Everything was okay, pleat spacing not great and it appeared potentially primed to be one of the...

Phone deleted my first write up so this will be brief. 😡. Okay, user error. 😮 This OG Ultra was on my lawn tractor two seasons. I was surprised to find rust around the base plate. It was under a bunch of crud I rubbed off. Rest of filter was great as you would expect from an OG Ultra.

I’ve mentioned this in a couple of threads but thought I’d clarify it for any interested or who could benefit. Common knowledge here that a 3600 series equivalent is a good upsize for a 3614 size filter if you have the room. But the excellent Premium Guard 3600 series made filters come in two...

These EcoGard are the budget version, not synthetic but are a bargain in a well made entry level filter. The 195 is a 3614 upsize or tweener downsize ( 4 inches tall ) . Didn’t spot any other sizes but there could be...

So I got in on the EcoGard (Premium Guard made) Amazon deal like many here. However when my filters came (properly boxed btw) they were not the same as others posted here so I thought I would share with the BITOG collective. This is a 3600/FL-400s equivalent. First of all, they are green! I...

I cut the TG3614 I took off the Mustang last night. Didn’t take a lot of pics because honestly not much to see here and we have a bunch of these on here already. It was pristine. Accidentally cut the date code but it was sometime in 23. Had more pleats than I expected, 46, and was chock full...

The wipers on the wife's Edge have been fantastic, but I decided at 7 years old I'd refresh them out of preventative maintenance. I bought a single fancy Michelin replacement at Wally's. Not only was I unhappy with the tiny, tiny diagrams and the Rubic's cube assembly of the fastener, it just...

Been a fair amount of discussion over Quaker States Ultimate Protection here. One of the points of discussion has been whether or not it was really any different from the full synthetic. From reviewing the PDS sheets and VOA's they look very similar, except the Ultimate had an MRV of about...

A few months ago, I spun a PH10575 on my wife's Edge without concern. I've used plenty of orange cans without any issues, and the filtration is above average for an entry level filter. Then I saw this thread: https://bobistheoilguy.com/forums/threads/fram-extra-guard-10575-cut-open.364330/...

With all the changes and buy outs that have hit oil filter manufacturing the last couple of years, I started looking around and like many here became interested in the Premium Guard filters. I was looking at their site today and noticed a few things I found interesting. First of all, Premium...

My son in law was working in an abandoned house and found an old newspaper from March 1962. I enjoy looking at that kind of stuff. I snapped a pic of an article on Studebaker Packard that was interesting. Hopefully you can make it out okay. Man I would love to roll the clock back to those...

Anybody else catch the Chicago street race? I thought it was one of the most entertaining NASCAR events I’ve seen in quite a while. Loved the rain racing, short cautions and lots of spin outs where they simply turned it around and went back to racing. 👍 I’m definitely looking forward to this...

I'm looking at a 23 Ecoboost Mustang for a new full time daily driver. Not interested in burn outs or aggressive driving, but I DO want to drive this car as my only, which means for my daily highway commutes, running errands and driving the wife to church. I find myself at a stage of life where...

Do anyone know if warranty repairs show up on Carfax? I’m seeing quite a few dealer maintenance records with few to no repairs. I did a search and there were conflicting reports, manufacturer specific maybe? I know if there are recalls that have been fixed it’ll just say “no outstanding...

Ever since I've learned of the existence of All Weather tires I've been intrigued. Pulled the trigger last night and ordered new shoes through Discount Tire for the wife's Edge. I was sold on the Michelin CC2, but unfortunately multiple places had them backordered in her size. Bummer. Spent...

I need some feedback BITOG! My son just bought a 2001 Saturn SC2 with the twin cam 1.9. This was an emergency purchase from a co-worker due to his wife wrecking their other car. They are young with no money but thankfully a co-worker had this car available. Spent the last two days with it and...

So I had an older KIA that was the first vehicle I owned that specified a crush washer on the drain plug. It usually came with the filter, so no problem I used it. Eventually I was changing oil in my 2018 Passat VR6, and at every oil change VW specified a new drain plug each time. The plug had...

I was out and about today and was surprised to see the campus landscape service had a new Ford Maverick. I stopped and talked to the guy about it and he said they just got it, having ordered it in November. A gas turbo model and they already had a hitch on the back of it too. I was kind of...

When I first saw the Grand Wagoneer come out I was stunned at the size and price. I asked my wife "Who on earth buys those things?" Turns out my neighbor does. Traded in an Expedition XL on it. It sure looks nice but I can't wrap my brain around sinking that much into a vehicle. You could have...

Just curious what your experiences have been. I've heard of "pull me over red" many times, but is it a real thing? I've never owned a red car but have always liked them.
