By whatever vehicle you like, then install a 50" E-series lightbar on the roof from Rigid Industries. If you need more light, you're blind.

Anyone using their LED light bars? Looking at picking up the 10" SR series and am curious as to peoples thoughts.

I had these put on my F150 when I picked it up. It seems to me so far (2400 km) to be a decent tire. Grip is decent in snow/dry pavement. It definitely isn't a winter tire though, I've noticed a fair bit of slip when driving on ice.

Originally Posted By: RF Overlord I think the OP is concerned that if he uses an oil rated for 945 and his owner's manual specs 930 that he might have warranty issues. That's exactly it. I know that the 945 stuff will do just fine, the problem is, should a engine lubrication related problem...

I was mostly digging through store shelves, and some oils (like PP) meets Ford 945-A spec....not the 930-A Spec... Maybe a weird batch? For example, PYB meets 945/946 spec, but not 930-A. PP - 945/946 specs Amsoil OE 5w20 - Meets 930-A Spec; Amsoil XL 5w20 does Petro-Canada 5w20 (conv and syn)...

Hey, I'm looking into information about the the oil Ford has spec'ed for a 2011 F150, 5.0L V8. It's a 5w20, and any oil used (to keep warranty) is suppose to have an API Certification (starburst) and meet/exceed Ford-WSS-M2C930-A specs. Doing some research on my own, I've found Mobil 1...

Oh, and a relaxed driving style at highway speeds on cruise.

The engine is the 3.0 Vulcan out of a Ford Taurus.pretty much bulletproof if you take care of it. Driving style is almost all highway, with fifty km a week in city, four hundred km of highway, and sitting for four days. My main reason for the switch is to not be as concerned jefe the car goes...

While I don't anticipate an issue, I'm looking into mixing three litres of Amsoil OE 5w30 with three litres of Formula Shell 5w30. Primary purpose is for cold weather performance, extra protection, and a safety gate if I am unable to change my oil on time. What's the thoughts on this? Amsoil was...

Can I put instructions that my wife pick it up for me?

Quick question for those of you in the know. I'm purchasing Amsoil from their online store. It offers the potential to pick up from their warehouse in my town (Edmonton, AB). Will I incur shipping charges to have it shipped to their warehouse in town? Or, will I be able to pick it up within a...
