    M1 5W30 EP vs ESP : Which would you run a longer OCI with ?

    What vehicle is it? Do you road course race with it? Do you do drag with it? Do you toe with it? Where do you live? What kind of driving do you do? 5w-50 Amalie, and Mobil 1 SUPERCAR 5W-50 is what I use for road and road courses, in the mid Atlantic. I have thought strongly of switching summers...

    Why not use watered down wheel acid to clean: water spots,brake dust and track slag off car?

    Whole car is ceramic coated PPF, but it looks like below fuel filler the coating is gone due to it no longer beads or no longer hydrophobic. The very back of the car the vertical surface is not protected with PPF.

    Why not use watered down wheel acid to clean: water spots,brake dust and track slag off car?

    When a person does a weekend at Summit Point Virginia International Raceway, I assume there’s a lot of brake dust all over the car. There’s also always a lot of track slag. It seems like it would possibly be more cost-effective to just water down wheel cleaner, and use that to clean the car. Is...

    FORD Gen 3 Coyote engine tolerances good for 15W-50 engine oil in the summer?

    Again for all that have education and experience with this matter is appreciated. The other nice thing is that mobile one 15 W 50 is a good bit cheaper than the SUPERCAR. Am I in any way providing less protection for my engine by using 15w-50 Mobil 1 full synthetic? Thank you folks!

    FORD Gen 3 Coyote engine tolerances good for 15W-50 engine oil in the summer?

    This question is for all of you. I use 5-50 now. Why wouldn’t 15w-50 Mobile 1. be even better? Especially on road courses HPDE, where a lot more heat is built up? What would the drawback/s be? The pluses as far as I understand is the better bearing protection/metal on metal(without oil or to...

    FORD Gen 3 Coyote engine tolerances good for 15W-50 engine oil in the summer?

    It seems to me that 15W-50 would be a great engine oil to run in this engine for both road courses and daily driving in the summer since the temperature stays warm. The only question I have is the tolerances are the too tight for the bearings and such? Does it need a more watery engine oil...

    brake dust sticking to wheels

    Is there anything that can stand up to break dust etching/sticking to your wheels? Do any of the ceramic coatings stand up to the brake heat? I am assuming the brake heat, then heating up the wheels causes the ceramic coatings to soften, and also the adhesive on the wheel weights to let loose...

    How can one coolant or anti freeze work in all vehicles?

    Which cools better? Or are they all the same? Or for summer would distilled water and a couple bottles of water wetter work far better for road courses? Something else?

    How can one coolant or anti freeze work in all vehicles?

    I went to a Valvoline quick change place a few months ago and I noticed they use one coolant for all vehicles. I’m also pretty sure when I was at the auto parts stores that they have a model of coolant that supposedly works in all vehicles. I daily drive and use my car on road courses, so I’m...

    202x Ford MACH 1 with handling package, 9k miles, 10R80 transmission failed. Any real fixes yet to get 200k miles or more?

    202x Ford MACH 1 with handling package, 9k miles, 10R80 transmission failed. Any real fixes yet to get 200k miles or more?

    That is a logical response. I love the car when it runs properly! Another problem is a lot of the other vehicles have their problems. Also I’ve also already spent quite a bit of money on this car so I would probably never get what I’ve put into it.

    202x Ford MACH 1 with handling package, 9k miles, 10R80 transmission failed. Any real fixes yet to get 200k miles or more?

    Feb. 10 2025 I got my car back! My car with 9000 miles had been at the dealer this time for almost 3 months since November 19, 2024. Ford finally gave in and put in a new 10R80 transmission. Now, I am trying to figure out how to make it last longer than a few months.
