I use fuelly app to track every liter of fuel burned in my 2018 f150 3.5 ecoboost. It was amazing to see how optimistic the fuel comsumption meter on the dash was from factory. I had to adjust the AFE fuel bias in the engineering test mode screen & have it a lot closer that the factory...

Compare it between classes. As far as I can see an EV vehicle outweighs its gas powered counterpart. I use my truck to pull and haul loads that a car wouldn't be able to. I can't justify owning a 2nd vehicle in a 1 person household yet, when I need a vehicle I can depend on to make the...

Yeah, I don't know the whole story. I only know what I have heard through her, but even so you wouldn't expect a car to be burning any oil at only 50,000 miles or 82, 000 kilometers, in a 3000 mile OCI or 5000 kilometer OCI. I don't know if it has a low oil level light, but by that point it...

Yes, vehicle was owned by my ex's mother. I am not too sure on the history of the car, just was always serviced through dealer. Not sure how much oil it was using, or if it was getting checked often enough, or if maintenance was completed as needed, or if the OCI has always been this often or a...

Yeah, probably not that easy to do with the ECM and everything else. Replacement salvage engines have to match up to serial numbers.

A friend recently had the engine fail in a 2017 Terrain with the 2.4 Ecotec engine. She purchased it new from the dealer and oil changes were being done regularly at the dealer 3800 to 4000 or 5000 kilometer intervals. because it is 7 years old it is out of warranty period with only 82000...

I use a 20 inch big blue system that was purchased from a Canadian company maxwater. Seems to work well, its a 3 filter system. The first filter has a clear housing, that allows you to see the condition of the filter.

I was looking at Zero turn mowers last fall. I actually had a deal on a Country Clipper mower 52 inch Edge XLT, but the deal fell through with the dealer. It was more mower than I really needed anyway, but I was looking for a single hand steering option with the single joystick design. I ended...

Yes, I was working in my garage late one night & was getting thirty. Figuring distilled water was good enough for mixing baby formula, I took a good pull on the distilled water bottle and got a few gulps down. Didn't realize that distilled water from the automotive store was differnet than the...

I have always just collected a sample from the drain plug/ Fumoto valve. We have an extractor at my workplace that we use for periodic sampling of our gearbox oil reducers. We were advised to use a purge container, and purge a full container to clean past residue from the hose. Seems to work...

If it was already broken, & headed to the dump, might as well try to find what's wrong & fix it. If you completely wreck it, you weren't really out anything anyhow, & learn for the next time. I have repaired many things with this mindset, & like to see how it works. Now with you tube it really...

a High Oleic Low Linoleic canola oil can handle temperatures of up to 475 F. Many fast food restaurants have been getting better service life out of these types of oils. https://www.canolacouncil.org/about-canola/oil/#high-oleic-canola-oil

They say that it may help with prevention of Multiple Sclerosis. I was tested & found to be low, & was put on 10,000 units for a few weeks & re tested. I now try to take it regularly. They say we don't absorb it from the sun as readily as we did when younger, & more important in northern hemisphere.

Same as up here. RCMP get their man, but the court system has them out in no time. In my opinion, they need to incarcerate them into some kind of treatment program, or the cycle just continues.

Yes. I also noticed that AGAT does not have a column for titanium. Not very many oils seem to use it in their formulation.

I thought south of the border you could just draw your sidearm, and take care of the problem if an intruder is on your property. Lucky guy they spared his life, and just called the police to take care of it.

I just purchased 3 x 5 Liter jugs of the GTX Magnatec in October just before changing the oil. Is it getting rebranded another name? I don't think its much difference than the Castrol Edge, is it? They had a good supply on the shelf, at my local Midway Distributors/ NAPA auto parts store.

That's what I usually aim for 8000 km. I was about 5800 miles on the most recent one.

Oliveoil2: Mostly highway, not many trips less than 20 miles. Most of the time it's at least 40 or 70 mile trips or longer.
