Gonna drain and fill the 6F35 in the fusion again soon and was wondering if anyone is running Dex VI instead of Merc LV? I Valvoline ATF says it covers both but can I just use Dexron VI? It's about half the price of Merc LV and more readily available

2018 F150 3.5 ecoboost. 5w30 Supertech Syn with a Motomaster OE plus filter.

I use 5w30 supertech in my 18. My camper is 8000lb and box is usually loaded with Mike's and fire wood, haven't blown the engine yet, still sounds like the day she was bought

The Duratracs on my personal truck and my work truck both have the same thing. Noticed it on other F150s as well. Never thought much about it

It's a 3/8 "lip" I guess you could say that extends bast the rim. Gives a little wider tire without having to go wider. Not much room on an F150 between the sidewall and the UCA without going spacers or new rims. Also, 275/70 has the best variety and price in 18 inch

It is purely a looks thing lol. I don't do much "off roading" anymore, maybe the occasional muddy road or field

Starting to look for some new 275/70R18 tires for the truck. Currently running Duratracs and like the look of them with the big rim protector, makes them look a little bigger than they actually are. Only problem is I dont need that aggressive of a tire anymore plus they are heavy. Looking for a...

A lady in the Local buy and sell has this unopened 5gal bucket for sale for $65, worth it? Other than cool factor, what would the oil be usefully in?

Wife's car costs about $9, got a dozzel jugs of VWB a few years ago for $1 each and an $8 NAPA gold filter. Trucks costs about $30,

So I had the oil pan gasket changed 3k(km) ago at the dealer and they filled with their bulk oil(Mobil 1000) but I dont like how loud and rattely it is on start up vs the PP they drained so I'm gonna dump it. I have a jug of PP 5W30 and a jug of Napa syn 5W30 so I'll probably just use the other...

No that was actual outside temperature. Probably get another 20 degrees colder before winter is over. I'll try and get a video when its -40ish. Even with block heater plugged in they still sound bad

This one was from last winter. The truck had whatever the quick lube place has in bulk.

Yes it does.

Short clip from this morning of a -25 cold start. The Ecoboost gives off a puff of black smoke upon start up when ever its cold out. Oil is dealer bulk Mobil Super 1000 5W30 that was changed last week when the oil pan gasket was changed, 12,000km on truck.

I use Stihl brand 99% of the time, no real reason other than I get to chat with the guy at the local Stihl shop. Bought some Walmart Tune it brand a few months back, it was on clearance for a buck. No directions on mix ratio on the bottle so went by colour, chain saw smoked like a sumbeech...
