bosch oil filters FAR

Sweet. I'll check my Autozone here in San Antonio to see if they have the same deal. I'm due for an oil change too! Thanks!
 
saw an ad poster at one in austin, tx when driving by. wondering if it's bosch made or just rebadged...
 
yep,
bosch, and valvoline 5-20 was on sale for 1.49 qt. funny thing was when i opened up one of the filters i got a free oil filter wrench. i guess someone could not get it off the filter and reterned it.


so now i have 2 mazda rx8 wrenches.

beers

how is changing filter/oil on rx8? simpler than usual engines?
 
oil not so bad, but you only change 4qts out of the 7 in the system. the car has 2 oil coolers that dont drain all the way. the filter is a different subject. it sucks bad location and faces downward. you need at least a 12" extention and a uni joint attatched to the wrench.

that was interesting . thanx 🙂 i wonder why they designed it not to drain all the way.. -_-; odd.
 
Oil cooled pc? hmm this is new to me, use regular water pumps? how much more can I overclock with it? does it come in cool colors other then black?

lol 😀
 
it's too bad that the normal, "cool" operating temperatures of car fluids is much hotter than your average cpu at full steam

Motor oil is not black. It's golden. It's the impurities from combustion that make it black. If you oil-cooled your PC with motor oil it wouldn't be black, unless your PC is powered by an internal combustion PSU.
 
I went to Advance Autoparts the other day and noticed that they had some new Valvoline MaxLife Oil filters FAR. They also had some new Advance Auto Part Brand oil filters Buy 1 Get One Free. Well, on closer inspection, these new Advance autopart brand ones are almost exactly the same as the Valvoline ones except that they are covered in grip material making them even better. (I already knew that the Adance Auto part brand oil is made by Valvoline.) I picked up all 3... nice deal. 😛
 
got it today. faster than microsoft. and ocz has blown me off. from now on i am going to take dig pics of everything i mail.

beers
