    0w30 vs 5w30

    0w30 always seems to have better specs on paper but is 5w30 a better oil to run cause of less viscosity additives? Oil will be ran in direct injection turbo engine and both 0w and 5w are approved. Vehicle is driven all year in Michigan

    There is still one hard fact on tires. None will give you it all. The higher the wear mileage the more you will give up in performance. Ultra high performance tires are generally the best In all categories but the worst in tread wear rating. Grand touring all season tires tend to give the best...

    Has anyone here owned just American vehicles or foreign vehicles?

    An American vehicle is one where the profit goes to the company that is based in America and shared with the American employees who then generally spend that money mostly in America. Honda world headquarters is in Minato city Japan and Toyota world headquarters is in aichi Japan. Ford is based...

    Has anyone here owned just American vehicles or foreign vehicles?

    I’ve only owned ford vehicles since I started driving. I’m 49. I have 28 years in at ford. Farther had 32 years when I hired in and grandfather had 38 years when he retired in 1972. Henry Ford would come in and check the assembly line when my grandfather was working. Many fords through those 3...

    Time for new tires?

    Replace them now. My reasoning is because u said they were 8 years old and showing cracking. They could have zero miles and be 8 years old and still need to be replaced. They are the most important thing between you and the road.

    Are new SP rated euro oils safe for 2.0 ecoboost

    I read all kinds conflicting info on this site regarding the sp ratings of the euro oils. I figured I might as well stick with the sp energy conserving ilsac 6a ford wssm2c961a rating until I can do more homework and see if the euro versions will void the warranty. They are all mid to high saps...

    Are new SP rated euro oils safe for 2.0 ecoboost

    I found 5w30 esp api sp in 5 quart jugs at auto zone so I bought one. They only had the old sn in quarts and I my ecoboost takes about 5.5 to 5.7 so I just bought a quart of regular Mobil 1 5w30. I think that little bit should get along with the 5 quarts of esp. I think the 2.0 ecoboost should...

    Are new SP rated euro oils safe for 2.0 ecoboost

    I’m used the Valvoline extended 5w30 for the first change because of the hths also. Mobil 1 esp is now sp rated and comes in 0 or 5w30. The 0 weight even has a pour point in -50 something range. Mobil 1 fs is also sp but I think it’s 0 or 5w40. pezoil euro l is sp and Quaker state euro is also...

    Are new SP rated euro oils safe for 2.0 ecoboost

    I was wondering if any of the experts on here had any thoughts on the euro oils rated with the new SP rating are safe to use in new 2.0 ecoboost. It seems that if they are rated sp they must be good at preventing lspi . Seems the only differences would be a higher hths that may have something...

    Automotive theory: tire sizes (how is this decided?)

    Those days will never return due to the larger brakes. Stopping distances are much better now. Traction is better too.

    What is your cars recommended wheel nut torque?

    I will say before I put the new wheels on the car after the ride home from the dealer, I checked the torque on the wheels before I removed them. The factory did not torque them anywhere near what they speced. I did incrementally torque the new wheels up to about 145. I first put 20 pounds to...

    I think it's crazy but the little ford maverick is like 148 ft pounds due to m14x1.5 10.9 hardness studs. I think the ford edge is up there too
