Oil Filter Thread

[Burla]

we are on the edge of our seat, lol. Maybe I be the first and buy them out on top of the twenty I already have in stock, lol.

 

[Curmudgeon]

Well, here they are. Again, from MyAutoParts123-dot-com, ordered 04/02/2024, received 04/04/2024, at about 1:45pm via UPS Ground.
FREE shipping on orders of $25 or more. Just about $40 for 3 filters.

Filters well packaged and all 3 look perfect and made in Mexico, exactly like the ones I got from Summit and RP Direct.

 

[Curmudgeon]

So, after this positive experience I just placed a 2nd order of RP filters for my wife's 2.4L Eclipse. A 2011 model year with under 37,000 miles.
Her last OCI was at the dealer using Total Synthetic, Lubeguard, and OEM filter.
I'm thinking her next OCI will feature PUP and an RP filter.

And become a reseller?

There has to be a speedy and economical way to get "the good stuff" to our friends stranded on Canada Island.

I've given up on RP due to availability issues. Fram XG2 works for this canuck!

No, not entertained. Two? Maximus killed twice as many of that single handedly and then some.
Kinda thin there bro, ...thin.

 

[KYPOTLICKER]

[Burla]

I'm trying to order now and it won't let me past the entering info for the purchase.
I put in all my Ontario, Canada info and then no shipping methods...
Dang it....lol

I've only got 12 x RP 20-820 oil filters left... looks like I'm having to go to the Fram XG2 moving forward... Dang it!

I should have bought 30 of them months back from RP Direct when they were $11.99USD per filter with an order over 6.

I eat oil filters like little debbies cakes...

Heck, I just did my first OCI on my new Warlock with only 3,500Km's on it and that's after less than 6 weeks of new vehicle ownership.

I had a jug of RL HP 5W30 left from old stock and added in a jug of HPL SC 0W30, too.
Now that's a blend

I'm going to push 6,000km's on this OCI and send it to Blackstone... it'll be skewed AF as it's two premium synthetic oils with different viscosity's... but..meh... whatever.. let's see what it says.

I then have 16 gallons of HPL SC 0W30 to chew through after that....

Who the heck are these guys? Even Rock Auto doesn't carry those.

No idea, I only found them from a link posted by another member here. I verified the filter with a search-by-vehicle on the Royal Purple site first.
I looked around a little, it seems they have very little variety, just wiper blades and RP products?

Seems weird but it works, and quickly too!

You're a braver man than I as I'd never mix two differentl formulas. They're both great oils by themselves but the balance might be upset by just mixing stuff together. Not sure it matters for a short once-off run but still.

Mine came in the exact same boxes,lol. All are Made in Mexico and look good. I gave each one a touch of silcone lube on the gaskets ,and threw them under my slotcar track in the basement,where it's dry,and the wife won't stumble over them,lol.

 

[HEMIMANN]

Didn't RP used to be made in USA?

Champion move to Mexico?

Agreed & understood.
First OCI on the new truck and it won't be in there too long.
I only had a jug of RL HP 5W30 left in stock, so.... in she went.
We'll see what the UOA comes out with.

In my '94 Ram 2500 with the V10 and my '87 F150 with the 300-6, I've got 3 quarts of Delo XLE 15w40, and 3 quarts of Delo XLE 10w30.

Works out to a 12.5 w 35. Smooth quiet starts and running, and the inside of both engines look almost new.

Here is inside the valve cover of the Ford.
