Oil filter recommendation for RX?
(Preview)
I am about to start the cleaning phase soon, and was wondering if you had any filter suggestions. I normally use a Motorcraft FL 820s. Should I use a cheapo filter, or something decent? I guess I wondering about the filter becoming clogged.

Do you think clean ring packs had anything to do with his results? I recently ran the cleaning cycle on my 1992 Mitsubishi Galant, SOHC 2.0L, with about 145k on the clock. She would use about a quart, sometimes 1.5 qts, of oil every 3k miles or so, not bad really, but enough to make me keep an eye on it. I woul...

Maintenance Dose

After the final rinse, should I use a dino with the 3oz. dose or a synthetic? I understand that the maintenance dose will work with either, but does one work better? Frank frequently suggests dino for best results. Is this the case for regular use with the 3oz. dose? I don't mind spending more for a s...

Clean metal allows any oil to lubricate every nook & cranny. Now you have no drag/friction so engine n...

I guess we all know or at least believe that maximum, or optimal ring pack sealing, or mating provides maximum performance in any motor. Maximizing compression has got to provide for better use of fuel. Of coarse we can either use this performance for economy, or our right foot can enjoy the performan...

Abused for sure:) Well maintained. Flushed and filled w/ screen change once a year. Was starting to slip a tad under load. Ran the AutoRX per the instructions and flushed and filled. No slipping at all. Added bonus was a surprisingly smoother shift! Thanks Frank!
