Mama always said that if you’re gonna be dumb, you better be tough too.

You got that Hengst D110??

Wait, you guys are changing your oil???

Some people can’t help it sometimes. We try not to judge too hard.

Stupid questions don’t get serious answers.

/facepalm

Honestly, people give OE filters some crap sometimes and certain ones (Honda) definitely deserve it but the ACD ones are actually really decent and relatively cheap considering.

It also depends on what criteria someone is using for “best” when talking filters. Are we going off best efficiency? Best quality/QC? Etc. because the two may not mutually exclusive.

They’re not the same wiz as 10-15 years ago. QC has fallen pretty hard. The XP line was never good though in the first place. https://bobistheoilguy.com/forums/threads/wix-filter-rusted-through.386492/post-6991372 https://bobistheoilguy.com/forums/threads/i-ve-used-my-last-wix-filter.27299/ https://bobistheoilguy.com/forums/threads/looking-for-a-better-replacement-for-wix-51258.403977/ https://bobistheoilguy.com/forums/threads/convince-me-in-using-the-purolator-boss.401537/post-7420147 the forums are littered with posts and examples of not great wix filters the last couple years

Not sure why this is people’s go to when they get defensive and wrong. It’s not about it blowing up right this second. It’s about taking care of your stuff. If you could get one of two products that cost extremely similar or the same but one is markedly better, why wouldn’t you get the better one? Literally makes no sense.

Used to* and wix xp efficiency is god awful

Oh dear god why

Oh, I see what you're saying now. The *combined* weight of everything being more than 2x the weight. The way you worded it made it seem like you were talking about the trailer itself being more than 2x the truck. At the end of the day, it's a figure of speech. If you're hungry, could you really eat a 900lb horse?No. If you were mad at someone, is a sane, reasonable, logical person really going to kill the other person? No. Does anyone really not notice a big camper behind them or that notice being 0%? No, of course not.

The curb weight on a 1 ton crew cab long bed is around 7k lbs. Now, I don't know where you went to school but 9k is not more than 2x 7k lbs. More than 2x 7k lbs would be 14k+. With that said, obviously yes you're going to feel a 9k lb trailer when slowing down. I already said, when accelerating. When changing lanes? No. But if you look at the context of what was quoted, the original person said, "after a mile or two..." which means that would be after the accelerating portion and you're driving a generally steady pace. Please do learn to read and comprehend.

I have a 36' bumper 9k FR and unless it's super windy, the only way you know its there is when rolling out from a stop.
