Had the oil pressure sensor replaced on our 2018 Edge, 3.5, under warranty. It had triggered a low oil pressure warning on the dash. The service writer commented they were doing a lot of those replacements on 5.0's.

Seems like I saw this here quite awhile back, but a solution of water and baking soda does the trick, but will have to rinse off the white residue left behind.

Jocko Willink had the Marine aviator, former "Top Gun" instructor, who served as an adviser, on one of his podcasts recently.

I currently have BS quiettracks on my Mercury Milan. They are quiet and handle well, good in light snow. However, they aren't as quiet as the previous tires, BS Turanza Serenity Plus. They were silent. Would I buy the quiettracks again? Yes, have had them on for 2 yrs. now.

I felt fully recovered from the C. virus about 40 days after getting it, but smell lagged returning but read about retraining it by smelling various types of smells. I used vinegar, cologne, perfume, etc. At first, I couldn't even smell fresh ground coffee but it's getting better, still not...

My son drives a 2015 Fusion with the 2.5 Duratec, really likes the room and mpg. At 72-75 on the highway, he's getting 31-34 mpg. This time of year without AC on, it's about 1.5 mpg better. The car has 180k miles. One issue he just found out is that the bumper cover has to be dropped to replace...

Rake was pretty bawdy, an Australian series on Netflix.

My wife brought to our marriage a '72 Vega, and we used it for about 8 years. It was actually a comfortable car and I'm 6-3. It even sounded kinda nice with a Thrush glass pack muffler. It also gave me my first experience at bondo and rust repair. One cold winter night, I was accelerating onto...

I have used the fl-820 since 2001, the first year I had a Ford DOHC V6, had a number of them since and never had an issue until a few years ago. Low oil pressure light started blinking on my Mercury Mariner a week or so after changing oil, went away after getting rpm up. Finally changed the...
