Put a coffe filter over your fill hole and pour your oil. Look at all the trash and small metal your putting into your engine with new oil. Cool trick I learned in school.

Interesting.
I'llhave to check that out.

will do.

Sounds tricky...but I'll pour it through a filter into another container first.

What brand did you experience this with?

Worst was Penzoil out of 4 types same weight. Most just have trash in it,but some will have shavings. We done it with Penzoil, Mobile 1, Castrol, Quaker State. Mobil 1 was the cleanest, quaker was closest to that and castrol was 3rd.

penzoil is a HORRIBLE oil. nobody should be running that.


BTW..pennzoil and quaker state are the same.

Never tried it, but I'll stick with Valvoline.

Dino or synthetic?

Penzoil and Castrol Dino

Mobile and Quaker Synthetic

Wasnt as in depth as it could have been getting ALL the dino and synths but it was what we had around for us to use.

nice trick! I always use Mobil1...
and figures, i just saw this thread today and changed the oil in all the cars yesterday

I wonder if there's anything that should be going in that is getting filtered out by doing that? I will try this on the saturn 1st.....since that's the only running car I have right now.

I can never get my oil to go through any filter. It just puddles up on it

btw: I think this is a bad idea. I mean some of that shit is probably in there on purpose. I'm sure Mobil1 knows wtf their doin'.

You would think so.

Auto paint supply stores also have extreme fine (I can't remember how many microns thick) paper cone filters used for pouring paint from mixing cup to gun, they give those out free to customers.

Those would be my 1st choice, but about like a coffee filter.
