Man, Owen, sounds like you were trying to compete with Exxon lol

BTW - my 2 cents on oil filters, I favor BOSCH oil filters. I have no fact or researched info. I base it from years ago, I tried a bunch of different filters and it appeared that when I ran a BOSCH filter, the oil was cleaner. Again, no actual study or research was done, just a guy in his driveway with an observation

The only filter I will use is the acdelco pf52. Its a little larger than the regular filter and fits perfectly fine. People say its not needed and Idk if it helps but my theory is bigger the filter the more it filters cleaner...

Glad you got her fixed!!

Cool you have Jack back on the road again George and you have rendered this a "Case Closed" ... Yeah happy for you

I tend to use Napa Gold as thats what my builder recommended I do. Guess they are made by Wix, which is apparently another reputable name out there.

Interesting John you are running that large of a filter. I looked it up and it is indeed fairly larger. I never liked the OEM little size, I'm going to jump up to your size next oil change. I also read on other forums where some guys will fill their new filter 3/4 full before they install it. Lessening the time the engine runs without oil. Any merit to that?

I always fill my filter with new oil and put a little coating on the rubber seal on the filter before installing to help with sealing etc.

Thats the best I'm doing for tires. I read your other thread a couple weeks or so back about your tire selections and had to do something. My BF Goodrich DR's were all cracked and such. There's no way the Hankook's are anything like your MT's. Will be awesome to see you hook up with them, they should get you down the track like no body's business. I see the track is only an 1/8th mile, isn't that kind of short for a turbo car?

lol im not sure if im bringing the drag tires or not im just busting your *****, i thought about showing the car with slicks and skinnys though and if i do then i will have them

that track is a joke if you ask me..... only an 1/8th mile? me and you will make street hits 0-140mph and then 40-140mph and then 60-140mph i think is 3 nice fair races
