Hello, Today we have another UOA from my 2016 Ford F150 with the 5.0 Coyote V8. This vehicle has a Roush supercharger, which has been modified with an upgraded fuel system (pump/injectors) and several other go fast goodies. This vehicle is a work in progress, and as such the parts list that is...

The 6.2 is a tough unit, I bought a retired oil field techs truck with a 154,000 miles and almost 12k hours on it, and it ran great with good power. The drive line was torched, it needed front u-joints and bearings/hubs, along with rear axle seals. It was starting to develop a rear main seal...

Originally Posted by Buzzinhalfdozen Out of curiosity did you use "stock" sized ultra; fl500s equivalent or did you use the fl820 equivalent? Ford racing uses the fl820 in race applications for what appears to be higher flow rate from what I can tell. I was planning on using the ultra fl820...

Originally Posted by JoelB Is the truck 2 or 4wd? Sounds like a blast. Hello, the truck is a regular cab short bed 4x4, and it is indeed a blast. My personal best so far was an 11.46, and its remarkably consistent running mid 11's all day long. It'll get to 60mph in 3.39 seconds according to...

Originally Posted by oil_film_movies Does the Roush use it's own oil, like some of the GM & Ford supers? If shared oil with the sump, that's an extra source of iron that might add up to very normal for the engine. Your choice of oil (Amsoil SS & M1 0w40) and Ultra filter is spot on, that is for...

Originally Posted by addyguy For the use, I'd say it did great. I'm impressed at how low the silicon is - usually in HP applications, SI ends up high bc most prioritize flow over filtration. I'm using the Roush intake that comes with the blower kit, and it uses a very large Roush branded AEM...

Hello, this is the second analysis of my 2016 Ford F150 5.0 V8 with a Roush Supercharger. This run occured between October 2018 and April 2019, and was just a little under 6,000 miles. This is a pleasure vehicle, and operates 80/20 highway to city, with frequent 1/4th mile drag runs and during...

Thank you all for the great info! Originally Posted by dave1251 It is amazing the grade recommendations without knowing what your oil temperatures encountered during your interval. The 5W30 held up very well do you have the oil temperature data? Unfortunately I do not have oil temperature...

Hello, figured I'd post this UOA on my 2016 Ford F150 5.0 with a Roush supercharger. During this run I was using Amsoil SS 5w-30 with 10oz of Liqui-Moly MOS2. This run consisted of approximately 4000 miles of hard street driving (approx 6 months), several 1/4th miles runs, over the road engine...

There is no secret, this engine is very robust and can last a long time on any oil. My company runs a fleet of explorers that are pounded on day in and day out with many over 150,000 miles now, all on bulk 5w-30 changed every 5000. There are many thousands of idle hours to go along with the...

OP, great thread! Please ignore the haters and the ignorant, your video was great to watch. I empty about 1-2 ounces of fluid out of my trucks catch can every 1000 miles. That's fluid I don't need coating my heat exchanger, pooling in my manifold, or lowering the octane of my air/fuel charge...

Always heard it was a good UCL, but a poor cleaner.

I gave up reading this after page 4, but here are my two cents. I had a Scion FR-S. They are notorious for cricket chirping noises from the direct injectors. I used MMO with every fill up, approximately 4 ounces. I significantly reduced the chirping from the injectors. If I went a couple tanks...

Its a 2700lb car with 12" rotors and twin piston calipers. It has plenty of braking, even for track duty. OEM pads are not suitable for track use, but with the right pads, the brake system is plenty adequate. With good tires it'll stop from 60mph to 0 in about 106ft, which is pretty good for a...

Anyone had the chance to drive one? Anyone own one? I've been on the market to replace my aging Focus, and I've driven all sorts of vehicles. I had settled on a used 2011 Mustang GT or 2010 Comaro SS, but by chance I got the opportunity to take a drive in a Scion FR-S. Turned out to be a...

My 2003 Focus ZX3 was a great handling little car, especially after I replaced the stock springs and struts/shocks with those off an SVT Focus. The new Focus handles well, but its increased mass dampens a tiny bit of the fun. The new Focus ST is an excellent handling car. But in that price...

Scion FR-S / Subaru BRZ twins. I wouldn't consider them compact cars, apart from their size, but the fun to drive aspect is off the scale. Noise, handling, etc etc, they are a blast.

Don't have a 226 Navy, but a standard 226. I can't stand the stock Sig grips, so I went with the E2 grips, and it makes all the difference. Mine is in .40S&W, and is a nice pistol. I still prefer my gen 4 Glock, but everyone has different taste.
