The return of the $8.48 must be regional. Not available at that price here, though all the Castrol black are marked to $23.97. Its interesting that the Edge Advanced says rated for 20k and the Castrol EDGE Advanced High Mileage says 15k. Not that I'd run that length, but wonder why.

This is the filter called for on the Ford 5.0. I use the FL-820s equivalent from time to time, which is called for on some of the mustang applications. It has the same PSI and hold a bit more oil. (ST2, PH2, Wix51372, etc.) Not sure you have the clearance in the traverse, but I've been happy...

An oil change extravaganza today. 2017 F150 5.0 screw 116,567mi/ just shy of 3k oci Out: Valvoline HMFS 5w20 and microguard select In: Castrol Edge FS euro (the $9 a jug Walmart special) and a 51372XP 2006 Explorer 4.0 222,362mi / 3k oci Out: Valvoline High Mileage Full Synthetic 5w30 and...

Same is what happened to me. Ordered 5, there was a delay, 4 arrived, last cancelled and they sent me a $5 coupon for my next purchase. Pretty happy so many people got to take advantage of this. Its probably a big haul if we could add it all up.

My rigs need API SL or SN. So since it’s sq, I’m not expecting the engine to grenade on a few 3-4k ocis.

https://www.walmart.com/ip/18018069015?sid=6A142942-1FE1-49BD-BE86-EEFD9AB6734F I grabbed a few jugs for the shelf. Based on what I am reading there should be no concerns running this in my truck or Explorer. And for that price….

2011 Jeep Patriot 2.4 4cyl Owned by a friend of the family 183,120 mi OCI: ?? Maybe 11k, maybe 12k. Out: 2q of unknown oil and a wix filter. Cut the filter and the metal end cap popped off. Media was black as the devils behind. In: 4.25q of SuperTech FSHM and one bottle of Rislone, MSL57060...

I run one Regane from gumout (bigger bottle, black label) in my f150, and the smaller blue Regane bottle in the Highlander and Explorer every oil change. No issues, just preventative. They say PEA and have guidance on number of gallons treated, so I go with that.

Bracket with bushing is back on, after a drill out (bye bye all my bits), retap, bigger bolt, and a 1/3 JB weld speed stick. “That’s not going anywhere.”

Not yet. Bought the truck 15k mi ago, great maintenance history but ticking things off one by one. One of the sway bar bushing bracket bolts did not come out peacefully, so have to go back and drill the remainder and find a new bolt. Got to love suspension work on a 20 year old rust belt vehicle.

2006 Explorer 4.0v6 220k mi - New PCV - sway bar bushings - Repositioned the weatherstripping and siliconed it for a quieter ride - 12v light on the shifter - replaced the microguard filter after 1k miles (liked the last two I’ve cut open, sent one to Whip City Wrencher for a video and he said...

Alright battery boys. This here’s the Oil Change thread. Let’s lock in.

A little. It’s had good history on changes but likely bargain oil and it had a fram extra guard when I bought it. So I’ve switched to synthetic and want to help make sure the rings and pathways are free.
