I did a little research for you. Since you are in Florida and you want great traction and decent longevity. If you are willing to go .6 smaller diameter you could put a 275/55/20 on. When you get into the 55 series you can step into the performance tire category. There are a few choices in these...

picked my new maverick from dealer drove it home and took the steelies off and put these momo racing wheels with continental extreme contact dws 06 plus tires on the steelies and tires are for sale in the classified section if anyone needs 225/65/17 tires or 5x108 wheels with 63.4 hub bore

I meant sp rated euro 5w30.

I think Mazda recommends an api sm or higher oil. not sure but they may recommend a ilsac rated oil. Castrol 5w30 K is rated sp but not ilsac rated. The acea c3 rating is the euro rating for light duty diesel and some euro gasoline engines. Im sure some senior members here can guide further, I'm...

after a lot of research I just grabed some valvoline 5w30ep and a Fram xg3614 for new ford edge with 800 miles on an eco boost the new maverick with same engine will be getting an early change in a couple weeks, we shall see what I should put in that one

After many years of using tire rack to do research I finally used them to buy tires. That went so quick and smooth that I then ordered tpms sensors too. highly recommended. I used discount tire for years before that. some good stories and some bad stories on that but that's to be expected if you...

I had that issue in my first house. neighbors kept having appliances go bad too. I checked and everything had low voltage. I had the electric company come out to check the power and it was a problem at the poll and many houses issues were fixed at that point

Just curious since you always did extended drains. Did you always use heavy weight 5w40 or did use what the manual specified when it was newer (less miles)

I don't want to offend anyone but Hyundai is junk with a great warranty. Many have had a few new in engines in the warranty period. Ford is great if you take care of it and maintain it.

I stayed within the company specs and went with Valvoline extended 5w30 and Fram ultra filter. Maybe the high moly will be good for breakin. the oil really stunk strong with gas and it only had 800 miles thank you for the advice

I had asked in another thread on using mobil 1 esp 0w30 in a new ford EcoBoost 2.0 cause I thought it seemed like a good fit. Well, that seemed to spark a lot of discussion. I took the advice of the well established members and stuck with an oil that meets fords spec. I hope I chose wisely. I...

I was looking for the best oil to use to avoid having to use the warranty. Some of the European spec oils like this seem to address many of the issues that seem to hinder the Ecoboost engines. European manufactures have been doing small turbo engines a lot longer than the Big Three. Was just...

I was wondering what the opinions are on running ESP in ford 2.0 Ecoboost in a new maverick and a new ford edge. It seems this oil would be perfect for the engine.

Yep. I had many focus cars in the past and always liked the tried and true 2.0 duratec but the trans sucked. Ford to the car out of the United States and fixed that flaw. The ecosport mates it to a great transmission thats been mastered over the years. The car is old school in that it has a...

I had it done today at krown Rochester hills. Looks like they did a good a job. A little nervous about the holes drilled but they have been doing it that way for years. Ii called the corrosion free in Ann Arbor and the guy said they don’t do it anymore. Prolly new owner. I was more comfortable...

My alignment was out from the get go so I had the dealer fix it. I did switch out the tires to cross climate 2s which really made it drive smooth. I upsized to 215/50/17. I put McGard lug nuts on cause ford nuts are awful down the road. I just had Krown rust proofing done today so let’s see how...

Yep, all titanium’s are 2.0 awd. Ford now puts drain and fill holes on them. They realized they are not lifetime fills. Stuff turns to black crud and they fail if you don’t maintain them. I plan to do fluid maintenance on ptu, trans, and rear end.

A pilot alpin prolly would not be a very good tire in the warmer months. It would be too soft. There are few all seasons with the snow flake but it seems Michelin created a new category with this tire. It performs like a performance tire with the nice ride of a grand touring and has the best...
