How do you like the EFI? Does it start much better than the regular carb'd version? I'm looking at a X590 for my next upgrade but none of my front attachments will mount since they changed that in 2016.

The X5 series is a really solid line up. The 570 has a K72 transmission thats pretty solid and easy to change the filter and fluid. How many hours. Only downfall is the plastic hood, be careful not to crack or break it. Best way to open the hood is from the seat, gentle lift up on both sides and...

No attachment.

You need something to remove the oily substance. Dawn dish soap bath followed by a vanilla extract bath. Mix a cup of vanilla extract with a gallon of water. Soak your pet in the mix for about ten minutes and then shampoo, rinsing and repeating as necessary.

I like a lot of continental tires but the factory Continental ContiProContact tires that came on the focus were awful.

I only ran 5w-30 for around 15,000 miles, I bought the car used. I got a good deal on the 0w-40 and have a stock of it. 5w-30 seems to shear ( and fuel dilution) into 20w. and I wanted to to extend my ocis comfortably. 0w-40 can shear, handle some fuel dilution and still maintain a 30w...

When I run out of SSO, I’ll probably use M1 0w-40 as it’s easy to get here. That’ll be a while though.

That’s how I was taught to do it as well. Bench grinder and a nail. Although I’ve learned to not make it razor sharp as the curls the blade.

Nope, it was barely under the full mark.

The 2.0L ecoboost in our edge makes 1/3 less iron too. Although, that’s a completely different 2.0L ecoboost (twin scroll version). Just goes to show that while the engine might be the “same” they all have different personalities! Also why I started with around 3 uoa as a baseline before I...

Most recent UOA for my 2015 Ford Fusion with the 2.0L Ecoboost. This run had 12,575mi, 333 hours, and 25.7 average mpg. Oil (amsoil sso 0w-40, SN+) and filter (OG Fram Ultra 3614) installed 8/14/22 and drained 6/2/23. This was the winter run so lots of remote starting and warming up, and cold...

What does your owners manual say?

These types of labs usually have to be certified/accredited for the analyses they perform. I'm assuming they are probably not accredited to perform particle counts on engine oils and could be one contributing factor to the resistance. The best option would be to try another provider that offers...

3.90 for 91 E0 for my OPE.

Fram Endurance Boss is nylon mesh backed

I've had good experiences using Wagner pads and rotors in the past.
