Oh and Napa has mobile 1 quarts of oil for 5.99!

At least mine does.

You can get the 5 qt jugs at most Walmarts for $25 or less... which is cheaper than that $5.99/qt

Edit: Just checked and it is $24.95/5qt jug at my local walmart

What was the test result like with the K&N? Do you have a link to the video?
I think One road did one. I believe that was his name...or maybe it was another guy? Project Farm may have one too. I ha e watched some too. They let all kinds of fines In. They DO make more HP, but at a cost of engine life. I would admit it won't cause it to die not or next week or next year, but your are for sure shortening it's life. I would believe it to be statically different as well. Meaning a noticeable difference in overall life between paper filters and KN over the life of an engine.

I am specifically thinking of two videos. One the guy tests air filters and strictly measures o to 60 speed and overall mph. The other video I am thinking of the guy uses various particles to measure how well they trap them...I think he uses baking soda for the fines. He has an expensive particulate reading electronic monitor to measure the particulates that make it through the filters. If I remember the device is really scientific and cost a lot of money. It may have been project Farm but I'm thinking it was someone else?? At this point I just don't remember. I personally would only run one in a drag race type scenario. Many of those guys already run filter less anyway. This I think is not much more restrictive than nothing at all.

Brake pedal was real easy to push till about half way then brakes would work. Brake light came on. So I pulled the top off the Mc to add a little fluid. And the rubber gasket with the round deals that come down as the fluid level does was all contorted and not sealing properly. So I fixed that putting it back right and added some fluid.

Took it for a spin and the brakes work better now but, the brake light is on. Why?

My square brakes work great but im not sure why my brake light always stays on faintly. A bad sensor in the prop valve? A bad connection at the prop valve? Idk

It's been a long day....I gotcha now. It won't be given away, but I'm not one of these idiots that thinks his rusted out **** box is worth 25K, because he seen one on Mecum that looked just like mine....and it went for 90K. I know what's in it, and what has been done to it. If I don't get what I'm asking for it...that's OK too. I was just wanting to concentrate on my Extracab...I'm a fool to think I can do two frame off resto, (At Once) lol

Sorry,I do not have the link.I will have to hunt it down,the video.I watched several of this guys videos.Air Filters,Oil fiters,and Oil.

The guy definitely put a huge amount of effort and detail.I was impressed.Until I can or YOU can find the video,take my word for it....or not.

I know I like to have the best possible equipment I can afford.I was very disappointed when 100$ worth of purple filters got yanked out.Probably more than a 100,I have the oil and cleaner as well.

From what I saw,WIX had top results on oil and air.Either number one or two if I remember correctly.All I know is my 60,000$ Ram has wix and so does my beloved K-30
