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.

I lost track of how many miles and changed it out too soon (It's a weekend driver and sees about 3k miles per year). Would you guys have any idea how much cleaning it did? Should I do anot...

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...

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!
