That’s scary man. My plan was to do the wiggle test. See if they’re in spec. If they are. Leave and drive. But……

Absolutely planned on it. What year and how many miles on your dads car ? Stock or modded ?

Pretty sure is is mobile one. I’ll do a compression test. It’s a bone stock car with very low mileage as I mentioned. But we will see. I can’t comment on burning any oil. I haven’t driven it hardly at all since o got it.

Yeah we will see. I have a feeling the oil changes on this car wasn’t very frequent. Then again it has low mileage. Who knows. The fun of buying a used car. They also have a bad cylinder head design where the valve guides fair and exhaust valve just drops in the engine and boom.

Got my report yesterday on my 2007 Z06 that is bone stock. I purchased the car in august. Had a funky feeling it didn’t have proper oil changes on time so I s ent them a sample. No idea when or what kind of oil was used.

It is bone stock. It had a stupid intake on it that I’ve since removed and put the stock one back in. Car runs and drives good. No insulation so you get hot and hear all the rocks 😂. It’s on pennzoil ultra platinum but may be on valvoline vr1 as it has lots of zinc.

Hey fellas. No one used anti sieze on the plugs. I said it LOOKED like (the sludge). Also The oil and filter aren’t original ones back from 07. I only have one receipt and it’s from 2015. That’s not to say it wasn’t done more frequently. The car is a garage queen. Clearly. I’ll

I just got this 07 Z06 with 7800 miles that is all original. I had a hell of a time attempting to remove the filter and the two drain plugs (used a breaker bar) so an idiot worked on it for sure. Aside from that inconvenience, the anti sieze like goop I found on one plug (they’re both magnetic)...

Its weird because the maintenance manual for the car states "Castrol Edge Professional Oil change 5w40 Synthec VW502.00 Required" https://owners.vwmodels.ca/maintenance/timeline/ ^^doesnt allow for the direct link; you still have to select car.

Back in the day, my go-to Injector cleaner was Redline and everyone raved on about it. I have never owned a DI vehicle and am wondering- is this still the best/some of the best injector cleaner products out there despite the fact that it is DI- or does that simply not matter at all (DI vs port)...

The other debate I have with this car is the grade of oil. Ford calls for 5 2@. Every other Eco boost engine is a 5w30. Now mind you, all the others are larger in disc placement as well. When this thing has a compression ratio of 10:1 and hits 20 psi of boost everyday, I do want to make sure...

The oil I purchased was in fact a synthetic type. Not a blend.

Hi fellas- I've got a new st fiesta that's direct injected and turbocharged. I did my first change on the weekend and I went with the motorcraft synthetic 5w20. Since this oil is only purchased from a dealer, it won't be going on sale (if it does it's not like I'll see it in the flyer) so I...

Something of the boutique type (Amsoil, REDLINE, GC, etc)
