The air in my tires has been in there for 25k. Does it need changing? Or do I take the air from the fronts and put it in the rears? Please advise.
If you love someone set them free
If they come back no one else liked them
Set them free again

The air in my tires has been in there for 25k. Does it need changing? Or do I take the air from the fronts and put it in the rears? Please advise. The air in my Tacoma tires turned 14yrs old last March, and all this time I've been worried about the tread depth and sun damage. Maybe I should park my rigs on jack stands and pull the valve cores out so the tires can breath. Maybe I should start leasing my vehicles? Vehicle ownership is too stressful!

I rotate the air in my tires every 20,000.. so you are at least 5,000 over due... However it is very very important to remember, rotate your air to the tires on the opposite side of the vehicles, but ONLY rotate the tires front to back and back to front... if not following this rule, alignments are needed much more often... if driving a V8, rotating your valve cover gaskets, every 25,000 will let them last longer and it will not require changing them every 50,000, and stretch out their service life to 75 or even 100,000.... also remember to change your blinker fluid, when you rotate the air in your tires or your turn signals will wear out prematurely... same with windshield wipers... rotate them also I learned that living in St Michael back in Minnesota...

Isn't it time to go defend the honor of the WalMart check out gal from chicken schit hippy farmers by now?
Maybe some loud drunks are disturbing a family's meal some where in Reno.

I have seen on several web sites for oil change intravals of 10000-25000 (OR) once a year. Why would you change your oil that is recommended for 25000 miles at 15000 just because it has been in there for a year? Well I have a one year old truck with 44k mikes on it. So, I've changed it 4 times now. Coming up on my 50k valve cover gasket change soon.
Camp is where you make it.

Did the defend the check out girl's honor yesterday and stopped the loud drunks from disturbing a God Loving Family's meal down in Reno last week... gather you're the "oh, I don't want to get involved" California type...not like we have a shortage of those around here.. show up to tell us how wonderful California is, and how unwonderful we all are here.....

But filling them with helium lightens things up. My truck went from 6900lbs to 6500 lbs with 65psi helium in the tires. You just gotta watch and not let 'em float away before you putem back on.

General statement...
If these oil type filters were so great, why dont you see the high dollar real world working diesel equipment running them (think , cat, deere, case, etc)? That's where you have real need for horsepower and reliability for expensive equipment and maintaining wet filters is a nightmare.
Quoting airflow is questionable because you can only pull so much air volume on a naturally aspirated diesel and a turbo can only push so much air into the engine. The engine takes what it needs.
You answered your own question. Dry filters work as well and they're throwaway when dirty. I like reusable, throwaway is easier to service. "Naturally aspirated diesel?" Who even uses them now? A turbo forces air into the engine and the engine uses what's it's given. Diesels can take a lot of air. You are sadly mistaken if you can clean a depth loaded oil air filter and attain the same protection of a dry element. Reusable is not the time to think you are going to get better performance. Oil bath filters went away on equipment in the 1950's for a reason. And there are a lot of naturally aspirated engines on many pieces of equipment. You are only thinking of your pickup. Yes Turbos do push air in, but a lot of it goes out the waste gate too. The CAC adds a lot of air restriction so you get diminishing returns and the engine only takes what it pulls it. Its not an infinite volume to pressurize and they regulate the stochiometric burn to hit emissions targets. Your saying you get "25 HP more" is a loaded marketing lie. If you got 25 HP more power out of the engine, you would boil your cooling system. You may be getting 25 HP more than a falsified heavily restricted and biased air filter test to make the oil filter product to look good, but the cooling system was qualified to a dry paper air intake system. You can get any more cooler or fan performance to cool that magical 25 HP that shows up from no where.
Other than that, How was the show Mrs. Lincoln?

Test, falsified to look good??? To whom? Go read it again. Overheating??? Where do you get this stuff? Hummer you're beyond stupid. Been reading too much without knowing what it's about.

You are using sarcasm in your self deprecating humor, while still arguing it makes sense to change valve cover gaskets every 50k. Meanwhile, anyone you have had issue with in the past is dealt with in swift nonsensical fashion. I'd say I'm not missing anything.... Back to the scheduled program.

Why would you change your oil that is recommended for 25000 miles at 15000 just because it has been in there for a year...? You supposed to 'change' it...?!?!

oil is a mixture of substances. Some are more volatile then others. Over time, they evaporate out of the liquid, in use or not So their is some deterioration of the oil, even without use.

WTF does ripping off the parts store or taking advantage of the local junior college have to do with where you or I live?
You do contribute to the JC's programs for all the free help and tool rentals, don't you? Or are you just the freeloader taking advantage of them the same way as the hippy getting his chickenshit loaded in his S-10?
As to location, that all you got, call the Californian gay or liberal? Talk about liberal free loaders.
How much does Rancho pay for the rent?
