I am planning to purchase a new 2024/2025 F250 7.3 gas. Ford recommends or requires 5W30 with the specification WSS-M2C961-A1. wonder what I would be missing from that specification if I opted for QS 5W40 Euro. I have high confidence in that oil and am certain it added some years to my F150...

At last, BRP provided the comprehensive answer I sought, which was not easy to obtain. Whether you comment or not, it's the same to me, but I thought it would be interesting for some to read what BRP had to say. Anyway, it's kind of strange that outside of BRP, everyone says that JASO MA 2 is...

I've encountered numerous sources stating that one should pay closer attention to the additive package of an oil rather than its base origin. Thus, could a mineral base or a blend offer performance of a higher quality than a full synthetic or blend?

I'm asking for help from the gurus here, I can't personally evaluate tech data sheets, especially if they sometimes don't use the same testing methods. However, I imagine that there is a genius here who could compare the 2 data sheets and come to a conclusion that is relatively acceptable and...

Thats the 2 options I have here where I live in Canada. For all the much more educated participants here, what would be your go to oil between these two ? I plan to follow CanAm schedule maint. interval 9300 miles or 1 year I'm trusting more Sopus than Amsoil , but dont ask me why ... Its...

I had a surprise while repacking the bearing on my RV trailer ... one brake shoe lining fell off ... never happened to me before ... I will replace them but I was questioning myself about, why not gluing back on the shoes, glue for that exist and that will be a lot cheaper than 120.00 CDN for 2...

Dexter, Lipper are often recommending to lube the axle bearing at least once a year. Some are doing that through the easy lub zerks I personally think its ridiculous. Too much grease is not better that not enough ... to much grease can cause overheating I do it every 3 to 4 years , I put 10000...

I cant find the Lucas X-Tra polyurea grease in Canadian tire anymore. I always had good luck with it .. so im a bit disapointed I have to repack the wheel bearings on Travel trailer , I will wash them all and repack with the Motomaster synthetic multipurpose grease NLGI grade 2 GC-LB . The...

Looking at replacing the tranny oil cooler line/tube. Is there a lots of pressure in there ? Can one replace all steel tube with rubber hose compatible with tranny oil ? Thanks

I hate wasting oil and my time especially in winter . I live in Quebec Canada where winter can be brutal sometimes, and mild the day after or all at the same time .... I am considering using the QS euro 5w40 all year long , is it a good idea ? That looks ok to me if I look at a visc charts...

That looks like a big deal for some, i need guidance in order to know why ... If the filtering media is crimped or glued properly top and bottom with a good tight joint at the seam so whats the big deal with uneven pleat space and waves ... its a filter not a works of art :-)

Not that I want to use one however i am reviewing the products that i used on my truck . My mind is set on oil and filter and the Fram is not considered however. After hours of reading about MH messing around with Puro Wix and Gods know what, First brand ? Doing the same. Filter pleat brittle...

Thats the spec from ford that they wanted me to follow for my 3.5 eco im long past the warranty so Im considering QS euro 5w40 api SN or SP following many advice about moving to that grade to help minimizing fuel dilution and helping the valve train components no where its mentioned that spec...

Might use it on my 3.5 ecoboost since the oem drain plug keeps seeping even after replacement and yes there is no nick burr or else on the pan :) I am also considering to replace the OEM plug with a straight plug with aluminum crush washer since the rubber seal on the OEM plug dont seem to seal...

How two oil like 5w40 and 5w30 can have such a widespread difference in spec a 40c ? QS 5w40 euro is 80.8 PU 5w30 56.9 finally what that mean or what would be the difference when use in very cold climate , my understanding is a 5w is a 5w no matter what

Some members believe that I will make a good move if i stop using PP 5 w 30 . They suggest a 0w40 and or a 5w40 . Now, all of these oils seem to be labeled has European oil meeting api SN but not the specific spec m2c 946 from Ford for my first gen 3.5 f150 2014 with 95000 km This engine is...
