I have heard of some people having problems with the Ford PVD's, but I have to say they are the best Ford OEM rim I have had so far. The painted alloys on my 2010 were replaced twice due to "water intrusion"(squiggly lines) under the clear-coat. and I had some aftermarket Chrome American Racing...

You guys crack me up !! I will say girls in bras are more exciting than my post though

I am ashamed to say It's been 11 years since my last post, but boy am I surprised to see what I am reading here now. When I last frequented the boards, the FL820s for my f150 was highly regarded on this forum, and Fram filters were spawned by the Devil.....Seems the roles have reversed now. I...

Stabil is very good....I use PRI-G in my boat gas and generators.

Update on the FL-820S price at Autozone.... I went back in the store today, and they had the 820S in the wrong slot. They had it in the slot for a FL-782 or 784 which was $6.99.It was on the very bottom shelf, and the way the label was curved, you'd almost have to get on your belly to see the...

No, the Autozone had Motorcraft in a slot that was marked $6.99. Maybe they had them in the wrong slot, but when I saw the price I kept walking. I'll go back again and double check to make sure. So back to the M1 and the spring in the domed end, Is that the ADBV or is that a Bypass valve...

Thanks guys, But a question for Roger. I thought it was the Bypass Valve , not the ADBV that is in the domed end of the filter. I don't know much about filters though. I used to get the Motorcraft from Walmart for about $4, but I am having a hard time finding the 820s in stock. At...

Which would you say is better for my F150 4.6l ? The M1 is only $2 more than my Motorcraft I have been running, so the price doesn't matter to me. I am running 10W-30 M1 EP. The thing I noticed is the M1 is actually a little shorter than the Motorcraft Thanks

Bobio, No there is only regular Supersyn in 5w-20. When I did the "survey" for help me decide, I chose above 0deg temps and out of warranty for one profile. I was surprised they suggested the 5w-20 instead of pushing the 5w-30 EP. If it is out of warranty, in the heat, why not push the new oil...

I did the "Help me decide" for my 2001 Ford SCREW. I have the extended warranty and 41,000 miles on it. If I checked "Yes" under warranty, it recommends 5w-20 Supersyn. If I check "No", not under warranty, It still recommends 5w-20 Supersyn. That seems strange, I thought they would recommend...

Haley10, It is a Motorcraft PCV. It was in place for my last OCI and I wasn't losing the oil with it then. I try to use Motorcraft parts as much as possible: Fuel filter, Oil filter PCV etc. MickeyM, Would the new EP formula be so drastically different than the Super-Syn I had been using...

Thanks for the replies. This is my 1st time using the EP version of 5w-30 and noticed the oil loss. I have previously used 2 OCI's with 0w-20 M1 Supersyn and 2 OCI's with M1 5w-30 Supersyn and used maybe 1/4 qt of makeup oil during the entire interval. That included trips to my deer lease...

I don't know whats going on I changed from M1 5w-30 to the new EP 5w-30 on my last oil change, and after 1 month and less than 1,000 miles, I was almost 3/4 of a quart low. When I used the regular Super-syn, I didn't use that much make up oil in 5,000 miles. The 4.6 SOHC Supercrew only has...

QUOTE Here's the UOA on the Pennzoil 5w20 synthetic. As you can see, it really didn't do any better than the PureBase 5w20. I wouldnt expect a GRP III "Synthetic" to be much better than the "Dino" Pennzoil anyway....It isn't a PAO correct?

I just didn't have the nerve to talk to the guy about his engine oil... I afraid he would have thought I was a freak! Dude....you crawled under his van with an IR temperature guage and read the temp of his Oil Filter........You are beyond a freak
