This came off of a vehicle that I serviced regularly but I did not have time the last time they needed an oil change so they took it to Walmart and apparently this is what was put on it. 2010 Ford escape approximately 5000 miles. The wide pleat as seen in the picture was separating slightly...

Update on the Kohler EFI v twin The throttle position sensor was bad. I put a new one in and did the ECU reset and the tps learn procedure and now it runs awesome! Definitely rekindled some new life into this “high mileage” engine. Thanks for the responses!

He gave me a whole gallon of the Lucas and said he runs it 50/50 with the Castrol 10W-40. I'm thinking that is a lot of unnecessary strain on the oil pump... I "poured" a quart from the jug of lucas into an empty quart oil bottle that I had and added half of that to the eXmark and half to the...

So what do you think of the WRdy after driving on them for one winter season? '21-'22 was my first winter on the WRdy on my 2020 Fusion and I am very impressed (compared to the Michelin Enegery Saver A/S which were absolutely abysmal in the snow '20-'21 winter). They handled quite well in the...

Looking for some help on a friends ~2012 eXmark X-series with a Kohler ECV749 EFI engine and the 60" deck. Running on one cylinder at idle and then really rough at full throttle with RPM's surging with no load and smells like it's running VERY rich. Put in new air filter as the one that was in...

My DD 2020 Ford Fusion SE 1.5T FWD 15,076 on car 5,089 on oil OUT: Napa 5W-20 Synthetic Blend (API SP), Motorcraft FL 910S filter IN: Dealer service, Motorcraft 5W-20 Synthetic Blend, Motorcraft FL 910S filter. Notes: at 5,xxx miles the oil was BLACK. The recommended service interval is...

Now…. would this apply to both Traveller “Conventional” and Full Synthetic motor oil products? Their “Conventional” is SP/GF-6 rated and $11.99 everyday price for a 5 qt jug. This is a jug of the 10W-30 I bought for changing oil in lawn mowers, etc.

I just put a set of the WeatherReadys on my 2020 Fusion a few weeks ago. They replaced the OEM Energy Saver A/S’s with 11,000 miles on them as they were abysmal in the snow this past winter season. I’ve put 1,000 miles on the GY WRdy and I am pleasantly surprised. They ride well and are quiet...

Napa Premium 5W-20 Synthetic blend (API SP) and a Fram TG3614 filter which I snagged at Meijer on sale for $4.99/ea. Any interests in a UOA on this oil after 3,000 +/- miles? Thanks.

This filter was removed from my DD 2020 Ford Fusion SE with the 1.5T engine at 6,100 miles. This was purchased as a “New” dealer service vehicle so it had 2,700 miles on it when I got it in December of 2020. The dealer did the first OC at that mileage before they put it on the lot. I am changing...

Contrary. The first UOA I ever had done on a vehicle using the Napa test kit, did include a note from the lab tech. Link to Napa motor oil test kit: https://www.napaonline.com/en/p/FIL4077

Honestly that thought/option never even crossed my mind. Nor did anyone offer that as an opportunity for a donor engine when we learned that the engine was shot from the failed oil pump. It was a very gradual progression. I don’t drive that vehicle frequently so by the time I noticed how loud...

You should read my thread about the Hyundai 3.3 V6 engine in our 2013 Santa Fe and it’s durability, or lack thereof. Good read. Oil pump failure @ 109k. https://bobistheoilguy.com/forums/threads/2013-hyundai-santa-fe-3-3-v6-blown-up-engine-109k.320695/

2020 Ford Fusion SE 1.5 Ecoboost 3,000 miles Out: Factory Fill / Motorcraft FL910S filter In: 4.2 quarts of RGT 5W-20 / FL910S According to the warranty information, this car was put into service in July 2020. I will note that given the short mileage accumulation on the factory fill (which...

No additives. Toyota shuns the use of additives of any kind: fuel, oil, etc. I figure if the oil isn’t formulated well enough to do it’s job it wouldn’t get the API/Dexos etc approvals.

New Beck Arnley installed its the same one I just took out of it. It had about 13,000 miles on it and looked pretty dirty. For $10 bucks I’m not going to loose any sleep. Fits perfect. Feels like it seats and seals well when I clip it in. Sooooooo ? 🤷‍♂️ I put Napa Full synthetic 0W-20 and a...

no recent work that I'm aware of, at least nothing since we purchased it. It's been a great running machine up to this point, and I'm partial to the 2GR-FE because I've had exceptional experience with them already. (2016 was the last Sienna model year with the 2GR-FE before they migrated to the...

To me, some of the wear metals look higher than they should be for this mileage (comparing to a UOA I had done on my 2008 Sienna in January of '19 using Mobil 1 5W-30 for 6,000 miles but that vehicle is 90% highway miles commuting to and from work). Both the 2008 and the 2016 Sienna's employ...

2008 Toyota Sienna / 189k miles / 4925 mile OCI Out: 6.4 qts of Mobil 1 5W-30, Fram TG9972 In: 3 qts RGT 0W-20 & 3.4 qts RGT 5W-30, Toyota OEM filter (comes to about 3W-26 Viscosity. Should help cold flow just slightly this coming winter season in Lower Michigan). Scored the Rotella Gas Truck...
