I'm catching up. I'm over 65k now. I still use the M1-102 filter with the Mobil1 full synthetic. What's the advantages of the bigger filter? I change my oil every 5k. Haven't noticed a super nasty filter or experienced any issues. Just curious.
1. It's bigger.
2. It's easier to reach because it's bigger.

I've got this little claw like adjustable filter wrench that I just throw a 12" extension on. Wished I could get the damn drain pan in the right place. I've got like 6 different spots in my driveway where I miss haha

Same. It's still easier getting the longer filter off. I replaced the plastic pins with neodymium magnets from Amazon. Sandwich the flap between three pair of them with a dab of Gorilla Glue on each one.

Same. Today was especially messy.

I need to do the magnet thing. I worry that I'd lose them in deep mud and fast water. I'm a little rougher on my truck than most.

I lost two early on but none since I added the Gorilla Glue. Sandwich the flap between two of them in three spots across the flap about where the plastic clips were and a little dab of Gorilla Glue on each magnet.

Getting an early start on winterizing since I’m getting a knee replacement, #2, in two weeks. This is a box I built out of scrap wood last year to cover the sand bags and hold them in place.

Well I rebuilt my tire carrier. This time I bought some thicker material. This was my first from scratch job. I cut, welded, and fabricated it all myself. Then took it out and trail tested it. Hopefully it will hold up this time.

In theory, theory and practice are the same. In practice, they are different.

That was part of the bicycle carrier I cut up. I didn't weld that nut.
