VIDEO: It’s Not The Filter’s Pleats, But The Filter’s Media

There is a myth out there that says the more filter pleats a manufacturer can cram into an oil filter, the better the filter. This is not true! It is about the multi-layer high-tech filter media that not only adds capacity, but efficiency over extended oil change periods.

VIDEO: Ensuring The TPMS And Check Engine Lights Go Out And Stay Out

After you have performed the diagnosis and repair, how can you verify the monitor and code conditions? The simple answer is you need to use repair information not only before the repair, but after as well to verify that it was done correctly.

VIDEO: What Can Cause An Oil Filter To Collapse?

Andrew Markel covers the possible root causes for a filter media to collapse due to extreme oil pressure. Ignoring the signs and hoping the new filter will correct the problem might lead to failure of engine bearings and variable valve timing components.

VIDEO: Stop Chasing Codes With Components

When it comes to misfire codes, it might be tempting to replace or swap parts like ignition coils and engine sensors to get rid of a code. But, you might actually cause new problems instead of curing the original problem. Andrew Markel covers why finding the root cause of a code is more productive than chasing problems with replacement parts.
