So what is the deal and how does the remote filter work to cut down on maintenance (ie less oil changes)? "I hate changing oil so I figured I'd go out and get...
Well, it is a super fine filter that takes out most stuff. You need to have your oil analyzed periodically but basically, you only change your oil when the...
The reason is the way the government measures exhaust emissions. When new, a diesel produces more NOx than a comparable gasoline engine, but, diesel NOx...
