Where does it say that ford uses the VVT/ 4 Banger mode? http://www.fordvehicles.com/cars/mustang/features/specs/#per Thats a dodge and chevy thing. The new mustangs are using 3 valves, rather than 2 on the GT's.. But back on topic, I only use 5W-20 MC or PP. Thanks

Ford is still a good company and its good they are repairing the padding and accelerator issues. If I had a cobra with a stuck accelerator pedal, I'd push in the clutch, and pull over. The rev limiter would cut the fuel pump off and then I'd just unpop the pedal with my foot. I got rid of my...

Yeah, I guess I'll just stick to my 4.6l mustang that gets 18/26mpg on 87 octane. I don't want to deal with 11-17mpg. Thanks for the replies. http://autos.msn.com/research/vip/jedlicka.aspx?year=2006&make=Jeep&model=Grand%20Cherokee

Any of you guys out there with the new Hemi engines have any problems? (2005-2006) I'm not so thrilled about the 4banger mode, but I like the way the new Jeeps look.

Pennzoil Platinum is or could be the same thing, different marketing. As far as Mobil, that is not any better and I would go Amsoil over them.

What kind of oil filter are you using? Is the ticking during startup only? I say stay with the 87 octane and whatever you are doing now.

I just put it in my mom's volvo and it runs real smooth. Got it because it was on sale at pep-boys, not because it said heat activated. I might have to try it in my car later on.

try Dino or go Motorcraft and lemme know how that works

Havoline is pretty good. I used it in a V-8 Mustang with no problems (5W-20) It has a high flash point (460 deg f) and rivals most synthetics. Go to www.havoline.com and look up the "product data information database" and choose havoline and the specific grade.

My Father's 2005 Tahoe has a big sticker on the inside of the door that says made in Texas. I think the newer GM's are made in the USA and don't have these types of problems. As far as your truck, let us know if the non-fram filter helped out. For the Ford 5.4L plug isssue, I'm sure the plugs...

What kind of oil filter are you using on the Silverado? I say try 10w-30 or the 10w-40 you mentioned before and the stock filter or a purolator. My father has an 05 Tahoe with the new 5.3L V-8. No noises going on there. Where did you hear that Ford 5.4L engines shoot out plugs? Maybe when using...

using it in a 2002 mustang V-8

I used it in lawnmowers and an old t-bird that sat for 6 months. They all fired up right away after being stored.

follow the manual but use the sm oil. I'd just stick with 10w-30. its good for around -30f

WOT all the time, no problem until i get into traffic
