    Filter Thoughts

    I recently purchased a Canton Racing 6" spin-on oil filter to put on my F150, simply because I didn't like how small the factory filters are now. I did a lot of research on them, they are full flow, no bypass, no anti-drainback valve either. I wasn't concerned about that for this reason, the...

    OCI and E85

    I used the search and couldnt find anything that would really answer my question. Ford recommends shortening the OCI from 7500 to 5000 miles when running E85 more than 50% of the time. Does anyone know why this is? If it is supposed to be cleaner and burn cleaner, what affect does this have on...

    Valvoline Professional Series

    Does anyone have any experience with this stuff? Its Valvolines Professional Series oil additive. It says its full synthetic, uses a dual-detergent system to maintain cleanliness, and will not change the viscosity level of oil it is added to. I picked up 8 bottles on eBay for $20.

    Experiment

    Since I had a few bottles of both Edge and GC, I decided to mix the two and put them in my truck. Its an 07 F150 with the 5.4 in it. It takes 7 quarts, so I mixed 4 Edge and 3 GC. Ill do a UOA in about 7500 miles to see how it did.

    Semi-Synthetic and Group III

    From what Ive read on here, everyone agrees that most semi-synthetics contain some percentage of PAO, or esters, or some other true synthetic. But most of the ones that claim to be full synthetic are really Group III, do they not contain any true synthetic at all?

    ARx after Red Line

    Decided to do an ARx cleaning on my 07 F150 (30k on a 5.4l)a few months back, and nothing happened. The oil didnt get dark, no gunk in the filter, nothing. Then I did a little research and realized that I ran Red Line in it for 5k before I used ARx, and it got very dark and even used a quart. I...

    Castrol GPIII

    Ok, Ive been a member of this site for a long time now, and I still need a little help with this. I read a lot of stuff about Castrol and their synthetic issue, so I go and look at their MSDSs. All of them say petroleum hydrocarbon except the Syntec which says synthetic hydrocarbon. How is this...

    Ford Dealers and BG Oil additive
