Yeah, I was debating the Fram, but someone earlier on the thread mentioned they were pretty good.

Its a great filter.

See Burla’s oil filter thread that is in his signature.

Seriously,

Try the tractor supply bar oil. You will save money and it works perfectly fine. Winter formal...I add a little less than 1/2 quart or so of NEW 75-140 gear oil (cheapest i can possibly find) to a 1 gallon container of bar oil. Thins it out a bit for the cold.

I didn’t buy it inherited it when my uncle died. We have had those jugs for years. It lasts a long time except these Stihls always seem to leak even when you tighten with the tool!

Probably 2nd best!

I am considering the EA from Amsoil and The RP the same as they basically are. Otherwise we shall give it 3rd place.

Yeah you can run it, there's been varying results with it tho. @Burla didn't have a good experience with it but @R.L.K. had a great experience with it....

Lol, I meant in the saw.

Here she is sir. Looks like its the “MAX”. I could be misinterpreting this but it seems the Hercules possibly has a much better battery.

Yeah, that's the "MAX," the "Max" is brushless. I'm not sure if they could make it more confusing. It reads like a better battery, but I would like to see some to some real world tests. I don't trust HF :)

Yep, as @U&A said. Mine leaks, I believe there's a bulletin for a fix, like a little plug in the front.

EA has less holes on top x2, a little disapointing imo. If RP stops making them, I still think EA would take top spot from what we know currently.

Id have to skip the EA. Id be an emotional wreck using a filter with such few holes[emoji1787]

Id jump right to the FU

Nice looking truck. Burla and I LOVE stock rims and aggressive tires.

You planning 2 trans fluid changes obviously? Your diffs have gaskets or you using RTV? Aftermarket gasket?
