Originally Posted By: Traction Still can't believe people still think sidewall pressure is correct! Some tires are rated for 51 psi. Just run the door placard pressure, and check more often would be best. When set to 30 cold they will come up from there anyway, 4-5psi on a hot day. +1 ..And...

I currently own a Ford Escape with the 2.0 and love it. Oh, it's AWD as well. The fuel mileage can be very polarizing. From my experience winter blend fuel really hurts economy. I'm not a fast driver I will hover right around the speed limit and in the winter months, on top of cold starts and...

One thing I think people are overlooking is Ford's new TT2.7 that can probably be had in this range comparing to the base N/A V6s the other two(Ram/GM) offer. The engine itself is only an $800 option as opposed to the V8s from Ram/GM. I've only read fantastic things about that engine too. But...

A lot depends on how the vehicle feels with the current set of rubber on the vehicle. Each tire will respond a little different to diferent pressures and temperature changes. For me, I like to put about 10% over the recommended amount in. It feels like I get a little better "roll"(because...

Ford just reccomends 5w30. Nothing too special. As you can see in my sig(2013 Ford Escape with the 2.0T) I too am using Pennzoil Ultra Platinum.

3.19 million barrels of oil were spilled. That's crazy.

Well, I have no issue running 1000 OCI really. And I would definitely say I want it to last and to last well. I guess I'm already 1/4 of the way to my next oil chance then! lol And honestly.. Even expensive oil costing $10/qt is still cheap.. and using 0.8qt per change is almost a freebie after...

[censored], 20 bucks for a plug??

1000mile OCI just seems so short. Mostly because I double checked my maual yesterday because I was curious what it said and it says 5000 mile intervals.. I mean it's less than a quart of oil so I really don't mind changing it, and it's easy.
