Matches Fram orange can efficiency. Typical for a paper filter with resin of glass fibers mixed in. Ultra holds more dirt. Thats important to go 20,000 miles if you want.

Buying a used sports car....hmmmm.... Can't be sure it hasn't been flogged. I guess with CarFax or similar you can check the accident history at least. Or buy from a very old person! Its actually good the new hot C8 is making C6-C7 prices lower for anybody in the market though. Thinking about it.

Power: 750 hp Turbo Beaver: 680 hp Old Beavers had 450 hp Guessing the wing is the same; more weight? Keeping the CG in the same place must mean some batteries are near the firewall and an equal number aft.

Great choice on the Mazda CX-5. I took the boring route and went with a long warranty (6 years!) Tiguan. A CX-5 would be more fun and styled better. Originally Posted by Dwight_Frye GDI turbo engines, is rated SN+ and Dexos Gen. 2. It can typically be found for under $25 for a 5 qt. jug which...

Ok I see http://www.pureoil.com/en/do-it-yourself/oil-filters/oil-filter-selection-guide/ has the Boss being more efficient than PuroOne. Both aren't bad on efficiency. PuroOne is a cellulose (wood pulp) media mixed with resin or glass fibers, one of those mixed in.

Originally Posted by JohnnyJohnson Its still not up to the new Purolator One's efficiency at nearly twice the cost. Does the new PuroOne tear? Not sure if I trust that company with paper filters yet. Boss is fine though. Wait, efficiency isn't higher. They say "99% removal" on their website...

kschachn, see the k1rod TSB I quoted above, for more explicit warranty denial wording, and in that one, they may have opened it up to the possibility of media, not just ADBV rubber, clogging. Also the 11:38 point in the youtube video says "media": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tQbAC6TP3XY I...

kschachn, Finally a non-trolling post. Congrats! This was back a few years. They said it was ADBV material. They might have had a point, as I said above, about aftermarket oil filters. I thought there was a more recent set of info on filter material clogging engines. Here is the...

Originally Posted by JeffKeryk Porsche used the European standard which is more lenient; the 200 mile range is based on the EPA standard which is what Tesla range is based on. Any 'standard' driving cycle can be used. We could all make up one! All that matters is that there is an...
