Originally Posted by Cujet 5000 miles/8000km is very likely the proper oil change interval for a 3.5 ecoboost. Plenty of owners, including myself have determined this works well. It's a good balance between fuel contamination, particulate count and oil life. So Ford is misleading their...

OK , I bought my first 2 cycles trimmer a stihl fs40. Looks like a fuel/oil mix according to the manual is only good for 30 days or if you prefer should be used within 30 days. I never had a 2 cycles engine before so bear with me , Am I going to screw up the oil and gas ratio of 50-1 if I add...

Thanks snagglefoot, its the white BPV. I have sent another message to Fram and contrarily to what I read on some post the FL500S BP valve is set between 17/23 PSI ( 2009 spec ) and not 8 psi So Fram will be ok at 22 ... so my paranoia is all gone , the TG will be put to good use, hopefully...
