what about the Mopar Performance Filters? i heard those were actually Mobil
1 filters, but we can get them cheaper through the dealership.

Exactly.. BTW I just bought a couple of those fram filters with that rough crap on the end, just to see how they work. I'll probably tear one open after I use it just to see how it compares to the mobil 1.. After reading Rascal's post, I think I am going to switch to K&N (but I have to figure out where to get them..) What is the K&N part # for a 99 5.2?

With the HEX HEAD, I do use a wench to remove the oil filter vice a slip-grip oil canister wench.

I didn't know that - Why don't they put the hex head on the mobile 1 filters, then... THATS why I want it..

Barry, Mobile 1 and K&N are the same filter.
However, I do not recommend in using Mobile 1 Syntec in low tolerance manual trannies.

What I heard was that adding ATF to engine oil essentially replaces some of those components that normally break down first. Detergents and such (forgive me, I am not a chemist) I tried this in an old jeep, and it did work..it broke free enough crud to clog my oil pump and fill up my oil filter with sludge... Personally, I just stick to Mobil 1 every 5k with mobil 1 filters...

I know it's an ol' secret to add some ATF just prior to changing the oil to help celan out the engine. Let me ask the following:
1) Does this really work? 2) How much ATF do you add? 3) How long do you run the engine for and at what speed?
Thanks william
