The curie temp for Neodymium (used in a filtermag) is around 600F (or higher, depending on the exact variant). If the magnet were regularly exposed to temps in excess of the curie temp, that would...

It's been a while and I don't even have my stock undertray or bolts anymore, but IIRC the 4 rear-most bolts have plain heads (no phillips slots), and the rest all have phillips heads. There could be...

They're really nice, I like mine. A couple minor caveats if using on a modified car though: the oil door is in the wrong place if you go with some aftermarket oil pans (AM Performance), the whole...

The (dots) holes are the actual Low and High marks, you want to be somewhere between them. I usually try to shoot for around 2/3, but it's not worth obsessing over as long as you're in range.

According to the service manual, on a stock car with no oil-related mods, in US Quarts it's supposed to be 5.125 on a regular oil+filter change, and 6 for a completely dry engine (overhaul). If you...

No mods needed for the HP-1010, or any of the other mfg's longer filters either. Like ChrisSlicks said, I run the HP-1010 on top of a thermo sandwich plate with no probs.

Just getting caught up after a long hiatus. Re: larger filters, another option is the K&N HP-1010, that's what I've been using for a long time now on my 370.

The various compatible PL and K&N...

Could be, I'm also a fan of changing the oil hot from a drive, mostly so I can get a fresh hot sample for Blackstone. I typically pull the undercover while the car is still running, get the pan in...
