[QUOTE="Fallen Jim Rides again, post: 58277, member: 686"] Ya know, I am having trouble disagreeing with this. Back in the day, I built up a '74 Challenger. Used nothing but Quaker State at breakin and Valvoline most of the engines life. And no filter other than Fram. Had to do a tear down around 50000 miles (broke a dip stick in the oil pan and despite much assurance that it wasn't possible the oil pump pulled it off the pan floor and through the sump screen and . . . . ) Any way, that engine looked exactly the way it did the day I sealed it up. So clean that you couldn't tell that it had been broken in, never mind 50000 very hard miles ( I broke three 727-a torgueflites with it ). I don't use Fram any more, but that it largly because of community info and I know that their anti drain back valve simply doesn't work, at least not for a 3.5 liter V6. Still, I have become a fan of purolator in much the same way I have been a fan of Autolite for 30+ years. Because it just works a little better. Rad? Jestal? [/QUOTE]
