Filter, in prospective views, can and most likely will be more important than the oil itself, look at it this way

filter lets a particle by

particle gets lodged in rod or main bearing

digs in, makes two particulates, those make four, those make eight

those make sixteen, those make thirty two

those make sixty four, those make one twenty eight.........and so on

use a better filter

Valvoline Max Life High Mileage, AC Delco filter.

I really hope you are not serious


remind me to NEVER buy a car from you

DansGen1Alero 11-05-2009 01:51 PM

^^ yup since I bought my beater, I dont drive the alero, its been sitting for a while, I drive it around here and there, checked the oil last month and looks brand new. Once i get the car up and running then i will change that too, its on my list....serpintine belt was replaced at the same time and need new one, brakes are about rusted thru and rust is back on the quarter panel. Once i get the money for the interior/paint work, I will be taking care of all that. Sad part is my engine is probably still in better shape then most the 3400's on here

Mileage?

i have a 3400, had Severe Coolant into oil issues, when i bought it

147K then

171K now

155PSI Comp across all 6

28MPG

Will start in 0* weather, and 100* weather, never heats over, runs strong, breaks the tires loose on every attempt, no noises (except tappets..) a great car.... i think i need the LIMG done again though...

does not use any fluids, does not leak any fluids....i <3 my 3400

DansGen1Alero 11-05-2009 02:00 PM

Mileage on mine is just over 140k, and all but 5 miles were put on by me ORIGINAL OWNER. I know every place that car has been, never ragged, neutral dropped anything. LIMG replaced 2 or 3 times (dont remember, but have every single reciept invoice and documentation including tire rotations and oil changes from 5/19/1999 through the passing emmisions report from Tuesday) upper IMG replaced once. Never any collant leaking into oil, no leaks......except for absess after any changes. Just a lil old and needs some maintenence, but I am waiting on that, since if i do it now, its just gonna be wasted ie new serp belt will crack again by the time I am ready to show it again.

Mobil 1 15W-50
AC Delco PF46

DansGen1Alero 11-05-2009 03:10 PM

^^ I dont do black, gunmetal, alloy, steal......only thing left is chrome, Im show not go ha ha.

jayson_waltz 11-05-2009 03:15 PM

people who go solely on mileage should know that oil still breaks down when not in use, at the absolute min of barely any driving it should be every year to be safe, if longer and the oil gets a chance to break down, it will actually eat away at your seals instead of protect them.

i use mobil clean 5000 mile oil. change it every 3k, nice and clean every change.
PF46 filter, acd is just as good or better than the advertised performance ones.

Everyone seems to like to throw the blingiest rims they can find on their cars for the sake of being a "show car." A lot of show cars don't use chrome and stick with the clean aggressive look.

This guy can take his car to shows, or the track..
