I'd do 2 or 3 'spill and fills' and see what happens. 129K is a lot of miles on the FF.

Wouldn't it be nice if the pleats were as uniformly spaced as in the picture....that hasn't been the case with most Frams I've seen dissected. PS: The ST6607 for $3.84 seems to be a better filter as long as you don't need a Silicone ADBV IMO.

I've bought several new cars in my life (8 that I can think of right now which doesn't include family members cars) and I've always done an early oil change and never had an oil burner. I've done the first OC as early as 1000 miles with 2500 miles being the longest (on my 2.5 Duratec Escape...

When I was in Walmart the day before yesterday the 0w20 25K Edge EP (Gold jug) was $25.97 for the 5 quart jug. I'd never go 25K on any oil but I'd feel better doing 10K with this oil or Mobil1 EP in my sump. PS: Has anybody figured out if the current Mobil1 EP is really the same as the...

I found 3 quarts of GC (green version I believe) in my stash and will probably use them one per OCI as the 6th quart in my Escape 2.5 which has a 5.7 qt. sump (I put 6 quarts with the over sized 3600 filter.) The 'esters' should do some good for the seals and cleaning. What would you guys run...

How much does gasoline cost in Germany?

Does your 2017 Fusion have the Duratec (MZR based) 2.5 or the Ecoboost? I'm not surprised you're at 1/3 of a million miles on the Duratec but I'd be surprised if the turboed engine went that far.

I've owned a good number of cars. The best A/C system I remember in a car bought new was my brother's new 1988 VW Jetta...you could hang meat in that car (it did have other issues). I think the worst performing A/C was in my (bought new) 1988 Mazda 626 with a manual transmission. It was OK but...

In North Florida you wouldn't hurt a thing using 5w20 or 5w30 IMO. Pennzoil Ultra Platinum 5w30 is on the 'thin' side for the grade (just above a 20w) so I'd probably go that route if I decided on using a 5w30. It won't be long until you start hearing..."use the search feature"...."this...

Update # 1....Chase denied reimbursement. My daughter has requested the paperwork on why it was denied. She isn't going to roll over on this...she has already contacted her state representative in Albany and plans to fight them.

Wow...I won't use another Fram after seeing that filter. Where is the 'quality control' at Fram?

I went on the Autolite website and supposedly the Autolite Iridium plugs I installed in my in-laws 2015 CX-5 a few years ago have a resistance of 4000 Ohms. At any rate the CX-5 is still running well with approx. 65K* on those Autolites. * In post #5 in this thread I said the Autolites had...

I don't have a multimeter but the NGK Ruthenium plugs list a 5000ohm resistance right on the Rockauto site. Interestingly, so do many of the other plugs such as Denso Iridium TT's so I should be fine with the Rutheniums.

I wonder if the fact that Subaru oil filters are on top of the engine (rather than on the underside) has anything to do with why the 'glitter' wasn't trapped by the filter?

They assume a lot of 'short trips' if you're under the OCI mileage but reach a year.

When I bought my new 2014 Focus I specifically bought a 5 speed manual.I t's been one of the most (if not the most) reliable cars I've ever owned. I've driven 'stick' for over 50 years and I have to say that driving in today's stop and go traffic can be a PITA. I'm now retired so I don't have...

I am the OP. I don't have an update but will give one when it's available. Thanks for all the replies.

My daughters debit card was hacked and $6000 was withdrawn in 3 withdrawals. The 'fraud dept.' of the bank (a major bank) told her that she's responsible for everything over $500 because they had her PIN #. The guy in the 'fraud dept.' sounded like he was in India and wasn't very nice about it...

See post #7.....we were typing at the same time.
