.....And we're off!

Still waiting on proof of documented engine failure from using ANY brand of oil in the correct viscosity for the application, and appropriate filtration and change intervals

Did he test the 15w-50 ? Just wondering..,for boaters

Did you recently, know Some Fram filters have been restructured and very good.

Did you know that Wix had been bought out recently and some of the filters are not what they used too ?

The oil and oil filter industry has, many times changed overnight. Good to check in on it yearly.
