yup. but some of the more upper end of the oil filters like the ultra guards and stuff have the bypass built in. but thats why they cost 2-3x as much verse the 5 dollar version
he doesnt need royal purple lol thats overpriced for his stock car, plus he doesnt synthetic. a good filter and your normal castrol, valvoline, and oils.
There is something castrol has thats makes it slightly better. idk what it is, but we had a guy that his job is to test and examine oil and he said he will only use castrol. but he wouldnt let us know why
lol this is a long conversation about oil and filters. sorry about the jack
royal purple adds hp according to the website:p
lol so do leaf blowers, stickers, air freshners and ebay electric leaf blowers
if you have over 75k miles on the car, it wouldnt be a bad idea to get high mileage oil either. it has ester in it which helps to swell old hard gaskets and seals to reduce oil leakage at the oil pan, rear main seal, vc

actually 2hp :eek:what, like half a horse?
I know what it is. Its liquid engineering
Lol I don't mind the thread jack at all. I'm getting some good advice on what to use for my oil change tomorrow. I was probably just gpnna pick up 5 quarts from Weis since its 1.99, but I want to baby my engine so I might go castrol.

5 quarts for 1.99? yeah i wouldnt use that. the cheap oils you want to avoid, they dont have the same additives in them to protect from rust, break down, all that good stuff
my dad and I have only ever used castrol gtx and fram filters most of the time and have never had any problems. his old 92 nissan truck only ever saw regular castrol and had over 200k miles when he sold it and was still running really strong.
Paint the VC any color! thats the joy of having the black car... any color would look good... or just polish it. As far FRAM filters... eh I've used them and never had any problems, but if you are going OEM more power to ya. As for oil, I think someone said it already, make sure its high mileage oil and not the bottom of the barrel stuff. Take care of your engine and she'll take care of you...
i dont mean just Fram when i say filters, thats just a common name i used. its almost all filters like stp and such. 99% of the time you wont have problems, but if one does occur, it will be with those. and im also only talking about their baseline filters, not their better ones.
I would also only use high mileage if i meet what it says, its worth the extra dollar or two to improve all your gaskets and seals. will also save money in reducing the oil your leaking

i have a guy near me that will do it, actually he is in lancaster area. some amish dude
Yeah dude I did, I have a pretty large compressor in the shop, just still didn't work that great, had to hit it with brake cleaner and shop towels lol.
I say either flat black or red on the vc!
I vote wrinkle red.
I'm undecided on wrinkle red or banner red for mine. Not sure which will match the milano red better.
Do you know how much he charges?
Well if Greg's friend can powdercoat mine, I think I will.
Oh and what do you guys think of Fat Fives on an integra? There's a craigslist ad in my area with gunmetal fat fives, bald tires for $150.
