Reviews of Dorman 65327 AutoGrade Oil Drain Plug and Gasket

Dorman Oil-Tite drain plug gaskets (3-pack)

M12 (65327)

The description says "plug & gasket," but this is for a pack of gaskets only. It was just what I needed and fit my 2002 Saturn SL2 perfectly. They seem to be of good quality, but I haven't seen how they'll hold up yet. They recommend changing the gasket with every oil change, so I wonder how durable they really are. I paid about $5 which is a decent price, but it would be better if more than just 3 gaskets were included. Overall, a good product & I'm glad I saved a trip to the auto store.

I use this in my 2006 Volkswagen Jetta TDI. It works well, and I would recommend Mann filters for both oil and fuel filters.

Good quality German filters. By reading the forums for VW & MB, these are the way to go. Price is fair too.

These are the same brand and part number of the factory filter that comes from the dealership. It fits and works just the same.

QUALITY IS THE ONLY WAY TO DESCRIBE THIS FILTER.

AS WITH ALL OF THE MANN PRODUCTS, ALL ARE TOP QUALITY AND THE FIT AND FINISH IS SECOND TO NONE. I EVEN LOVE THE QUALITY OF THE "O" RINGS THAT ARE PART OF THE KIT.

I USE THIS FILTER ON A DIESEL (TDI) ENGINE AND SINCE ITS FIRST OIL CHANGE, I HAVE NOTHING BUT COMPLIMENTS ON THE PRODUCT.

THE PRICE IS ALSO SPOT ON AND I WILL NOT BUY ANY OTHER FILTER FOR MY CAR...SORRY FRAM BUT THIS IS OUT OF YOUR LEAGUE!!

FILTERS ARE THE UNSUNG HEROES BUT THIS ONE NEEDS A PARADE AND AMAZON FOR HAVING IT IN MY SHOP AT THE LOWEST PRICE AND IN LESS THAN THREE DAYS.

Lisle 13250 Oil Pressure Switch Socket Review

The headline says it all. This $8 socket was the best price I found on Amazon. You absolutely cannot remove the GM oil pressure sending unit on my 2003 Chevrolet Silverado 5.3 L V8 without it (and a flex joint, and a couple of long extension bars). The sending unit's wiring plug is on top of the unit and sticks up about 3/4 inch. This socket is deep enough to fit over the plug, but you have to be careful to keep it vertical or you will break off the wiring plug. Fortunately, I discovered this removing the old, defective unit. Also, place the new unit in the socket to feed the apparatus down to the block on installation. The chances are you will have to do the entire operation by Braille.

worked perfectly on my 2001 Chevy Suburban 5.3L V8 oil sending unit, took about 15mins to change out with this tool. Not a bad price for something youll probab use maybe 2 times in your lifetime

I bought this to install an ACDelco D1846A oil pressure sensor, and it worked awesome. Originally I was not going to buy this $8.00 tool, but I'm sure glad that I did pick it up, even if I only use it once. It saved me so much time under the hood, GM puts these sensors in hard to reach areas and if you are not a contortionist it may prove to be somewhat difficult without the right tool.

Amazon recommended tool for GMC 6.5TD oil pressure switch Great tool buy wont fit in the valley of the GM 6.5 L diesel. I had to make a crow-foot spanner to do the job, so the pretty lisle tool is unused.

It worked great...Don't try to remove/install a sender without one. You will be sorry if you ruin a $40 sender by either over tighten it or kinking the case... then it will leak.

Review of Purolator PL14460 PureONE Oil Filter, Pack of 1

I ordered 5 of these filters expecting the orange filters that were pictured. What I received was 4 blue Pureone filters in beat up boxes and 1 orange Pureone filter.

Purolator changed the color of their Pureone filter years ago what I received was very old stock that looked like it had been beating around on the shelf for years. One of the blue filters even had a dent in the side of the can. I suppose these filters will work ok but they certainly are not as shown on the Amazon site.

I used to use cheap filters in an orange box long ago before I really started to get into turning wrenches and found myself hooked on automotive performance after my first time experiencing the sound and power of forced induction. Once I started to take a keener interest on engines and got into routines of doing used oil analysis' and really just paying closer attention to how I maintained my vehicles, both weekend toys and daily drivers, I started to invest in the extra couple of dollars on a quality oil filter. One can browse around the Internet and find many comparisons of oil filters disassembled to see exactly how they are made and what they are made out of. Having done that, I won't be running the cheap filters again anytime soon. Now on the flip side, there are many who do and do so with success and the horror stories are few and far between... but for me it just makes sense to spend the extra cash.

I change my oil around every 5k despite my UOA's showing I could push it longer. I drive a lot and my daily drivers get a LOT of miles on them. Well maintained, I put around 200k miles on a car before I sell it and buy something else. Assuming I change my oil every 5k, that's 40 filters during the life of the vehicle or approximately $240 for a lifetime supply of Purolator PureONE filters at current day pricing vs $160 if I used the cheap filters through the life of the vehicle. I'd rather have the piece of mind of a well constructed filter that's not likely to fall apart and cause significant damage to my engine than save $80 over the life of the vehicle gambling with the cheap filters.

I've been using these filters for the last three years and they've kept the oil very clean. Sometimes the rubber gasket gets stuck to the filter housing so it's important to make sure the gasket is removed with the filter otherwise a double gasket will leak oil everywhere. Other than that I love these filters and will continue to use them.

Every couple of years I do some web research to see how different filters are rated and what they cost. Needless to say I've used these filters exclusively in all our cars for the last eight or ten years now. They seem to have the best price to filtering ratio in my research and recommend them to all my friends. If you change your oil religiously every three thousand miles these may not be worth the money. But with busy lives if you happen to forget until five or six thousand miles these are worth the extra money in my book.
