made by wix

 

i use to run wix. but discount. box of filters for me is like 40 bucks.

 

Now i feel better about being cheap and getting wix lol

 

at one point they were. not sure about the new ones

 

Wix and toyota filters are bout neck and neck quality wise. at least the ones ive cut open. (i do things when get bored)

 

Hey Derek, you know what's good for shoulder pain?

 

Anyone run the Mobil1 filters for more than one oil change? They say they're good for 20k mile intervals but I don't know if that's actually recommended

 

it's all a crapshoot

 

Tbh idk what happens to the filters I take off. I usally leave them on the drain bowl then after awhile it just disappears.

 

i mean you could probably get away with it. i run toyota filters for 20k on my corolla with mobil one extended... but oil filter is kinda insurance for your engine.. best to replace every oil change

 

Themral trap the area then run your torch over it to heat up the area and relaz it...

 

torch cut it off. no more pain

 

When i first started driving I would replace my intake filter every time i did my oil...

 

Wix filters are generally pretty good or was. Been using Wix brand stuff in my cars since the late 90s. Not sure if they still are but I still use their fuel filters.

 

That is true. I hate that crap.

 

i replace my transmission fluid every oil change. but im up to 200qts of WS now

 

Yeah I usually do...last time though I didn't and its been sort of eating at me lol. I change my oil every 4 - 5k with Penzoil full synthetic, probably earlier than most do on synthetic but with the blower I notice my oil getting pretty damn dark right around 4k miles.

 

Now i have a CAI so i can just wash it lmao

 

The stuff just gets everywhere

 

You a hvac tech too?
