name any type i need this for my car.please help quick?????????????.Wich oil filter is the best for chevy malabu 3.5 litter engine.?
Wix filters are the best out there. Napa filters are made by Wix so you can pick them up pretty easily.Wich oil filter is the best for chevy malabu 3.5 litter engine.?
fram oil filter and just go to the parts store and ask them for the right filter for your 3.5 engine.
The best brand to use is the Delco/AC by General Motors but any name brand with the correct interchange number will work. When changing the oil filter, be sure to remove the old gasket. DO NOT double gasket when installing the new oil filter.
well the worst oil filter is FRAM they are very cheep and the second worst is STP they are very poor in quality. the best oil filters to get are Mobile 1, AC Delco, and Puralator. these filters have the most surface-aria which means better flow rates and more space to trap dirt these filters also have the best anti drain back valves. Cheep filters Fram,STP have very cheep anti drain back valves that will allow the oil to drain back into your oil sump when the car is off so as a result when you go to start the car in the morning the engine will be staved of oil for a couple of seconds before the oil pump fills the filter up with oil again.
i would install a gm filter as that is what the manufacter recommends also that way there is no chance of having a warranty problems down the road

What size of FRAM air/oil filter does it use of 1999 peugeot 306 SW 2.0 HDI?
Other brands are fine too.What size of FRAM air/oil filter does it use of 1999 peugeot 306 SW 2.0 HDI?
I will pass a shop TODAY and stop and look it up for you.
Nobody has answered you in two days, sorry.
I'm back. The same oil filter fits many models of Peugeots. The catalog shows the same number for all petrol and diesel models between 106 and 406 currently. Just a few models take a different number, which is the same filter base, but shorter in height.
From my personal experience, my own cars, the same filter fits Peugeot 204, 205, 305, 405, and your 306.
FRAM PH3985 fits them all. Also Purolator 9, AC DELCO PF9, Castrol MaxPro CM3985, and STP S3985. Just look at the book at your local shop and see the number that fits. If the page is missing, look up Peugeot 205 or 206. It's the same as the 306.
These oil filters are the same for Jeep '87-'93. Dodge Monaco '91.
The air filter was Bosch 765, or Microstar LX 694 272, at my local shop, for all years of the 306, 1999 on. 14.99 euros.
I'm curious why you didn't go to a shop, look it up or ask, and buy one?

What sensors activate the ';service soon'; indication in a 1996 GEO, oil, filter air-filter plugs new, stil on.
what sensors activate the ';service soon'; indication in a 1996 GEO, oil, filter air-filter plugs were changed. need a geo book if you have.What sensors activate the ';service soon'; indication in a 1996 GEO, oil, filter air-filter plugs new, stil on.
you need to go to an advance auto parts store and get a Haynes repair manual for it they have all the info in there you will ever need for that vehicle,its made specially for the Geo so it will help you a lot ,good luck i hope this help,s.What sensors activate the ';service soon'; indication in a 1996 GEO, oil, filter air-filter plugs new, stil on.
first one that comes to mind is the O2 sensor, you did not say if the car is running badly the O2 sensor is usually the first to go a good place to go is your local auto parts store i like autozone as they can bring out a diagnostic tool to tell you what is wrong for free and they have the parts on hand to fix it, as for the geo book try asking your local GM dealer if they are still available if not try hemmings motor news found at good book stores just ask they will direct you to it even wal-mart sells them, if the light came on after you changed the air filter check to see if you got the filter housing sealed right if not it will let in to much air and throw off the sensors and give you a light. oops almost forgot at the auto parts store they may have a repair manual for your Geo, my bro. had a Geo and he ran the snot out of it he really liked it. Good luck
try holding in the trip meter reset button while turning the key to the ignition ';on'; position hold it there for about ten seconds and you will probably hear a beep or the indicator will go off it works with most cars
hope this helps dude
Its a 96..... so its obd2
Go get the codes scanned (either at autozone, or advance auto) to determine the exact problem before you go throwing parts at it...
After fixed.. take the battery cable off to reset the computer.
the service soon light comes on whenever there is a fault in a sensor or system that affects emissions. from vacuum leaks evap system cats fuel system. your best bet is to go get your car scanned to find out what code it is and follow up from there. even if you get lucky and replace the correct sensor the light will stay on till the code is erased or after a certain number of drive cycles after it no longer detects the fault.
I know on a lot of the vehicles you have to turn the ignition to where you only get battery power. Then press the gas pedal 3 times. turn the ignition off and start the car. I know it sounds ridiculous but I have to do that to my car every time that thing comes on. Then it will come up again when you need to change the oil. It will probably say in the owners manual if you have it available

I changed inline filter on the oil heating furnace. Need help with bleeding?
My fuel line is coming from the top of the tank to the furnace. When I changed the inline filter, I noticed the stop valve was also bad. So I went to home depot and got a new stop valve. Apparently fuel siphoned back to the tank during the process.
So far, I have added diesel in the inline filter and fired up the furnace with the bleed valve open in an attempt to make the fuel flow. I get all the fuel that I filled in the inline filter; after that bleed valve throws air for approx. 30 seconds and then furnace stops! Fuel just does not want to flow from my tank to the furance..... What do I do????I changed inline filter on the oil heating furnace. Need help with bleeding?
You may need to raise the level of the tank. There should be a small screw on the top of the filter where you can bleed between it and the tank. Then you can bleed it by loosening the line next to the pump (making sure you have rags under the line). This assumes that the tank is high enough for gravity to work. There should be a switch you can hold to try to force the furnace to run for longer. There should also be instructions on the side of the burner pump.I changed inline filter on the oil heating furnace. Need help with bleeding?
You need to get fuel in the line from the tank to the filter. At the filter, remove the line going to the furnace. Open the bleed valve at the furnace oil pump. Apply vacuum to the open end of the filter in order to draw fuel from the tank. Once the fuel reaches the filter, re-attach the line from the furnace. The fuel should flow to the furnace. You might need to turn the furnace on to pull the fuel. When the fuel gets to the oil pump, close the air bleed valve. I would call a furnace technician if you are not sure how to do this. Have a bucket to catch the spilled fuel, and plenty of rags.
You should also consider having the fuel line piped to the BOTTOM of the tank.

Infiniti QX4- where is oil filter?
It is a 2000 with four wheel drive. I've looked under the SUV for 30 minutes and I CANNOT find the oil filter and I've scoured the net trying to find help to no avail. I griped at my lady for wasting money having the oil changed at a service center, I don't want to eat my words now that I can't find the filter! haha! Please help me!Infiniti QX4- where is oil filter?
Never worked on one. But i do know that the oil filter will be located next to the oil pan. The oil pan should be near the transmission. I hope this helps because it would suck to have to tell her that you cant do it and eat your words. lol. :] Good luck man!cartridge

MOBIL EXTENDED - $10

Out of the filters that you have mentioned the Mobil is the best filter. It is a clone of a K%26amp;N filter without the higher end case of the K%26amp;N. If you are trying to get the best filter for the money then I would also suggest one you left off your list a Bosch. The Bosch uses a cellulose media. The Bosch %26amp; the K%26amp;N both have a quality design that will prevent dry starts. Purolater also makes good filters. STAY AWAY FROM FRAM. They are cheap and poorly constructed filters that have caused engine damage for some when they fail. It is not worth the risk. Motorcraft also makes a good filter out of the ones you have listed. If you are going over 5k before a change then I would go with the Bosch, K%26amp;N or the Mobil.Which oil filter to pick?
Fram is cheap because it is mostly made out of cardboard. I used to work at Advance Auto Parts and My manager and I cut apart all the different oil filters that we carried and Fram was the cheapest made. I would go with a Motorcraft or Powerflow if you are going for low price.

Ford oil filter quality?
I used to be a Volvo owner where you only use Volvo (Mann) if you want a high quality filter. Is the same true for Ford?
I have a 2001 Taurus with Vulcan engine (new owner) and I took it to Chevron's Oilstop to get the oil changed. They use ';Warner'; (Champion Labs) filters, no idea of their quality. I know Fram is crap. My mechanic used his pipe cutter to cut open a few types of filters and the Fram was pathetic.
Should I stick with Ford factory filters or some other aftermarket brand?Ford oil filter quality?
Wix, Ford, Purolator and AC are the best, Fram is the cheapest and worst...Ford oil filter quality?
I don't believe you can go wrong with using the same parts and liquids that originally came with the car. Use Motorcraft for Ford, it's a good thing!
I also believe that places with fixed price oil changes will do anything to cut costs and improve profits. Cheap filters, cheap oil, cut corners, etc... are the norm. Just my opinion, buyer beware.
Anyone remember Franz? I actually saw one at a garage sale a few years ago.
I have had a ford taurus for several years and mantained it nicely on a fram filter. May I add my car has 180,000 miles on it and still starts every single day.
What you should be worried about more then anything else is that crappy vulcan engine same with the fuel flex engine it was crap. The only engine that was ever good in this car was the 3.0
Fram Is one of the top of the line old filter and air cleaner. I will use nothing less. Champion is the worse of the line. And will not install one on someone car.
I don't know it being the best but it's the only one recommended by Ford as they have found other filters actually come apart and clog the passageways that are critical sometimes.. more so on the new 3 valves than anything
Its said that factory originals are the best and cost the most. If you have the extra bucks to spend, go with the original.

Just wanting to know if it's worth paying more for Purolator or Fram or even Bosch or Mobil oil filters, or if it's safe to go with that brand since it's from the oil lube place.Are Mighty brand oil filters as good as store brands?
We used to use Mighty filters, never once had a problem with them, you'll be fine. Also for the last poster, Mighty oil filters do meet or exceed OEM.Are Mighty brand oil filters as good as store brands?
I would stick to a name brand that guarantees to meet OEM requirements.

Can i change my oil but not my filter?(I know it just as important.?
I know this may seem dumb butI am going on a trip tomm. from NC to Maryland, the oil and filter was changed in late January and i just changed the oil but i couldn't get the filter off. so i left it on and had to change the oil..should i just get some filter pliers tomm. and try or will it be ok until i get back from the trip???Can i change my oil but not my filter?(I know it just as important.?
Not a good idea at all.
The old filter is clogged with previous debris from cycling .
How well do you think it is going to filter new oil.......not good......not good at all.
In fact if the filter clogged all the way up.......It would be the same as running an engine without any oil at all.
The blockage of a clogged oil filter will starve the thousand inch oil clearances quick
Change the filter !Can i change my oil but not my filter?(I know it just as important.?
it will be fine, but if your going on a LONG roadtrip its a good idea to change the filter to. you can just twist it off with some adjustable pliers, its an old filter so it doesnt matter if you damage it, then put the new one on a 1/4 a turn past hand tight. good luck
ps. if you do oil changes regularly you will be ok not to change your filter just this once. but when you get the chance you have to do an oil change and filter.
too late dude. damage is done. 11:30pm your time now. fresh oil is fresh oil, that's what matters. now learn to do your own oil from here on out, and be confident that it's done right!
yeah, change oil and filter at same time and stuff. i have many ways for you to get that evil filter off.
i was taught that an oil filter should not be installed with a tool...it should be a little more than hand tight.
have a safe trip!
You should change it.(Unless you work for Wal-Mart Tire and Lube) They tend to change the oil, drain the filter then reinstall the filter. Did it to my wifes care, my moms truck and my brothers truck. Then charged them for a new filter. Support the Chinese Army, Shop at Wal Mart!
You need an oil filter wrench. You can get them at any auto parts store for around $5.00. You need to get one that fits your filter so next time you go buy a filter ask them for a wrench to fit yours and buy it along with your oil.
if you leave it on then your keeping a quart of dirty oil in it. i use 1 of those filter wrenches that slips on the bottom and i use an extension and a ratchet.
You really just need to bit the bullet and change them both. It's not the end of the world if you don't, but this is taking saving money to a silly level.
It is important to change the filter with the oil change. Your filter could get plugged up and not work properly. It may not filter correctly and cause you engine problems. Change the oil Filter.
There alot to ask - how many mile do u have on your last oilchange
and did u dent the filter trying to get it off
you'll be fine for a few days, but definetly change it when you get a chance

Oil filter slackened off?
I have a hole in my oil filter and someone told me it had been slackend off what does it mean as i dont know much about carsOil filter slackened off?
Sounds like he meant it has been loosened...replace it anyway%26gt;Oil filter slackened off?
well a lot of people punch a hole with a
hammer and screw driver in them to
undo them and replace them but there
is a tool with a chain on that slackens
them so who told you was right replace
it.!!
get it off and fit a new one.its no good with a hole in it.when fitting the new oil filter ,smear some oil on the rubber sealing ring and screw up hand tight.wipe dry ,and check for leaks after filling with oil and running the engine for several minutes.
It means that someone has been beggaring about with it.
It is NOT an expensive job to rectify the situation.
If it has a hole, have it replaced.
Most oil filters screw on. It must be tightened down (screwed on) completely as it is installed for it to work properly.
The term slackened off simply means that the oil filter wasn't screwed on tight enough. Most anything that screws on and isn't properly tightened will loosen (slacken off).
I hope this helps, but I'm very serious about replacing that filter. Go get an oil change immediately.
Reckon he's been trying it on, did you leave him for a second to check under the bonnet? That's all it would have taken for him to take a screwdriver out his pocket. punch a hole through the oil filter, and possibly unscrew it slightly.
Other answers are right, DO NOT drive the car, at least until you've replaced the oil filter and topped up the oil.
Unfortunately, you've discovered that when selling a car privately, it's not just the sellers who get up to no good!
Looking at your previous question too, it's evident the bloke stabbed something through the oil filter and used it as a lever to loosen it off. You'll lose all your engine oil through either the hole or the loose-fitting filter.
The oil filter needs to be properly screwed on, hand-tight will do, and it's a favourite technique to stab a screwdriver through it to loosen it if it's too tight when you're replacing it.
Don't whatever you do try to run the engine, as you'll lose all the oil and wreck it. The filter needs to be replaced, and the oil either topped up or replaced too.
Basically, he's committed serious criminal damage to your car.
If you have a hole in it, it needs replacing. It will leak and you will lose oil. Not good. If it had been slackened off it was obviously not screwed on tightly. An oil and filter change is quite cheap ( around 拢20 ), get that done, and you'll be ok, but do it asap.
Get an oil change now to protect your engine. The term has no industry accepted meaning in my opinion.
Tell who ever told you that to quit treating you like @#^%%26amp;@! ';Slickended Off'; good invention, No such work or phase! There may have been an oil or fuel line in the filter that rubs aginest it while you're driving.
I see it now a buyer was trying to pull something over on you and when he took it on that test drive he, or a friend of his punched a hole in the filter to make you think it had an oil leak so you'd lower the price because there was a problem. This person that told you that didn't help any!
One way of getting an oil filter loosened is to jam a screwdriver through it and use screwdriver as a handle to turn the filter!
Sounds like this may've happened to you, i would expect loads of oil to come out rapidly, so the car may have no oil left in it!
Why its still on the vehicle is a mystery!
Have you only just noticed it or just bought the car?
Oil filters are not expensive, get it changed asap and use an oil with the correct 10w/40 rating as in the handbook if you have one. It makes quite a difference.
Hope this helps

Sounds as though someone didn't tighten it up when they fitted it and now it's come loose.
I bet there is oil everywhere.
The oil filter should be screwed on hand tight and after you have refilled the engine with fresh oil, run the car until it's warmed up.
Stop the engine and tweak the filter by hand just to nip it up.
Sorry to hear that you have met such a person-these scum prey on the unwary!Get new oil filter+fresh oil then all will be good-also get a friend to be with you when you sell it....will help your confidence and stop these scum trying to rip you off.GOOD LUCK with the sale!!
what type of oil fillter is it. It sound as if it needs replacing
it sounds like hes put a hole in it and loosened it slightly. probably trying to buy it cheaper.youve just learnt a valuable lesson . dont let anyone take your cars for a test drive .unless your in it
Sounds like he meant it has been loosened...replace it anyway%26gt;Oil filter slackened off?
well a lot of people punch a hole with a
hammer and screw driver in them to
undo them and replace them but there
is a tool with a chain on that slackens
them so who told you was right replace
it.!!
get it off and fit a new one.its no good with a hole in it.when fitting the new oil filter ,smear some oil on the rubber sealing ring and screw up hand tight.wipe dry ,and check for leaks after filling with oil and running the engine for several minutes.
It means that someone has been beggaring about with it.
It is NOT an expensive job to rectify the situation.
If it has a hole, have it replaced.
Most oil filters screw on. It must be tightened down (screwed on) completely as it is installed for it to work properly.
The term slackened off simply means that the oil filter wasn't screwed on tight enough. Most anything that screws on and isn't properly tightened will loosen (slacken off).
I hope this helps, but I'm very serious about replacing that filter. Go get an oil change immediately.
Reckon he's been trying it on, did you leave him for a second to check under the bonnet? That's all it would have taken for him to take a screwdriver out his pocket. punch a hole through the oil filter, and possibly unscrew it slightly.
Other answers are right, DO NOT drive the car, at least until you've replaced the oil filter and topped up the oil.
Unfortunately, you've discovered that when selling a car privately, it's not just the sellers who get up to no good!
Looking at your previous question too, it's evident the bloke stabbed something through the oil filter and used it as a lever to loosen it off. You'll lose all your engine oil through either the hole or the loose-fitting filter.
The oil filter needs to be properly screwed on, hand-tight will do, and it's a favourite technique to stab a screwdriver through it to loosen it if it's too tight when you're replacing it.
Don't whatever you do try to run the engine, as you'll lose all the oil and wreck it. The filter needs to be replaced, and the oil either topped up or replaced too.
Basically, he's committed serious criminal damage to your car.

Should there be engine oil in my Jeep's air filter?
I took the rubber cover that connects my air filter and my carborator off, to clean out my carborator with carb/choke cleaner, and it was dripping oil. I checked my air filter, and there is oil in that also.Should there be engine oil in my Jeep's air filter?
thats a very common problem with jeeps. it doesn't really affect how they run so i usually just ignore it---unles you have excessive amounts of oil in there-then you need to get the rings replaced--or just get a new truck cuz thats a lot of work.. but if it runs ok i wouldnt worry about itShould there be engine oil in my Jeep's air filter?
No, engine oil should never be in the air box. Check your PCV valve. Good luck.
No. You really need to get that checked.
Not that I'm aware of. You may have other problems, you might be getting the oil from the pcv valve. good luck.
oil rings are gone,blow by,thats why your getting oil in the carburator
No there should not be oil in the air filter, How many miles is on your Jeep?
if there are a lot like 100,000 there could be blow by from the pistons. It may be the pvc value is bad.
This is a result of blowby, the oil rings on the pistons are bad. This is very common with jeeps.
No, there is something wrong somewhere.

george b is right, I know it sounds stupid but I have seen many Honda engines go because someone installed the oil filter backwards, even techs at the dealerships!
On the right side of the engine. The filter is inside the little cover with 3 bolts.

Where is the oil filter located on an 88 S10?
4X4 2.8L engineWhere is the oil filter located on an 88 S10?
Its right behind the flex capacitorWhere is the oil filter located on an 88 S10?
Look between the left front wheel and the engine, there should be a rubber flap connected to the fender well. You will need a filter cap wrench on a extended socket set to reach the filter through the side. If you need any other help, let me know. Best of luck.
driver's side of engine, low back toward the firewall unless...it has a remote filter on it as the 4.3L 4x4's did which would be located by 2 lines running from block out to above driver side headlight. Good luck.

Does the mass air flow get oil contaminates after re oiling the K&N filter?
Does the MAF get contaminated after reoiling the K%26amp;N filter? Can it get contaminated before oiling and cleaning when the filter is brand new? I have a 2000 Mercury grand Marquis.Does the mass air flow get oil contaminates after re oiling the K%26amp;N filter?
If it was over oiled prior to them boxing it up and you buying it Yes. It has been known to happen. This is why you also need to properly wipe down the filter before you install it. As mentioned before you may want to contact K%26amp;N for any further questions.

BTW it would seem dodge man does not know where the MASS sensor is located on the Ford motors. It's After the Air filter.Does the mass air flow get oil contaminates after re oiling the K%26amp;N filter?
Most people over oil their K%26amp;N filters this causses the contamination. Put just enough oil on to turn the filter Red not so it is dripping off.
yes it can you should only use paper gasket filter. they make a spray cleaner you can buy to clean the MAF.P.S dont take you car to that guys shop.
i own a shop,and no it wont get contaminated the air is always puling in not blowing out,so there's no way it can get on the mass air flow sensor,good luck i hope this helps.
being a gm dealership tech i can't say about fords,buti know for sure it will contaminate the maf on a gm product.it semms like the closer the maf is to the filter the worse the contamination. gm has several bulletins on this subject, it causes all kinds of fuel trim problems as well as trans shift concerns. most of the time you can ';clean'; the maf by spraying it with carb. cleaner ( do not try to wipe the sensor,you will damage the sensor)
Oil and dirt,paper filter elements do a better job,K%26amp;N filters give you a measily one or two Horse power at the cost of ruining your engine.
