    Wish me luck. 2014 navigator oil change

    I still have all my tools including ramps*, AC jack, jack stands, a pig mat, and an open drain pan. I’ve been taking it to a local 5 minute place. They’ve done a pretty good job but the last oil change got close to $120. *iirc I might be able to slide under to change the oil without any...

    Wish me luck. 2014 navigator oil change

    Going to do my first oil change in a few years — wife’s 2014 Lincoln Navigator 5.4L. Bought some penzoil platinum 5w30* and a Wix filter. Pulled out the Mityvac extractor but the hose has broken. Guess I’ll be doing it the old fashioned way ;) Think I should remember how to do it but if anyone...

    Best floor mats

    It’s a ford OEM and it went in pretty easily. 3rd week owning and love it so far (when I can keep my wife from driving it).

    ceramic coated Bronco; finally complete

    I’d call four years pretty good. We are lucky to get 4 months on a good sealant here and waxes barely last a month in summer. Considering you really need to do about as much pretty, doing something that lasts 4 years is worth it to me rather than 1-4 months. The coating on this Bronco said 8...

    ceramic coated Bronco; finally complete

    Then there was something seriously wrong with the coating. How many years are we talking about later? Coatings are permanent.

    ceramic coated Bronco; finally complete

    That seems to be in line with what I’ve seen around here but some charge quite a bit more. Think I’ve seen $3200 given for correct and coat, which seems excessive for West Texas.

    ceramic coated Bronco; finally complete

    Some do state they offer Uv protection but I can’t say for sure they do. The easier washing is a real benefit to me. I’m not sure that I’d say that 3-6 month versus 3-6 year is a slightly longer life span (and from what I’ve seen personally the 3 year is definitely doable).

    What exactly do you mean by protection? Any evidence that waxes do? Sealants?

    So do I. The roof seems to be the biggest fail point after early issues with the 2,7l.

    New tires for ‘14 Lincoln Navigator L?

    Thanks for all the suggestions. Just for reference, I won’t go to Walmart for tires (or anything else).

    New tires for ‘14 Lincoln Navigator L?

    Wife’s 14 Navigator L needs new tires - 275/55-20. Looking for recommendations on all season. Also to be considered, she’s starting to think about trading it off but it’ll be 2-3 years before we can afford to buy it.

    Talk to me about mini splits

    We have three. The newest is in a porch we had closed in. There’s a larger one in a shop/teaching room that we built about five years ago. They’re both fantastic. Our original one is in the garage. It has been a good send but I’m afraid it’s getting tired. It couldn’t keep the space very warm...
