    New M1 Formulation and Noise

    This would certainly be a valid test and I would absolutely bet money it would show results and proof to my findings. I'll see if I can find a good decibel meter to borrow, but then again, the M1 fanboys on here still wouldn't accept it and call my results "flawed" for some reason... ;)

    New M1 Formulation and Noise

    Engine builder for 25+ years, including $60,000 BMW race engines, Karting engines, Drag racing engines including 900hp Hondas and 1000hp SBF's are my technical reasoning, I know when an engine is making excessive noise, something is wrong! I don't need internet trolls or wannabe...

    To all you Xw-20 doubters out there…

    Its a **** Honda, it would do that on any oil and any brand as long as you changed it when needed.

    Lamborghini Block Heating Expands Crank Clearances So Much That A 50 Weight Oil Is Required

    Your iron blocked Navi is nowhere close to this marvel of an engine. Lambo does not specify 20WT oils for very good reason... totally different worlds here and completely irrelevant to your Lincoln.

    Why 10K Miles Oil change may not be good!

    IMO the 10k OCI was feasible a few years ago but now that they continue to neuter the oils and take all of the good antiwear ingredients out its going in the opposite direction. I change the oil in everything I own at 5000 miles max.

    Ford 6.0 245k miles: Delvac Extreme 15w-40

    Great UOA on the 'Hated" 6.0 PSD! I have an 05, that has also never had the heads off but it only has 160k miles and has been very well taken care of. I stick to the 5k mile OCI myself as these engines are very hard on oil! Anyone that says differently doesn't know anything about the HEUI engines!

    5W20 or 5W30 Another Ford question

    Cop cars and taxis are a different realm... they stay running 90% of the time which has a detrimental effect on the engine reliability.

    Don't have any engine oil? Put some diesel fuel in your crankcase!

    You mean all you thin oil lovers aren't agreeing with this? You're all about the new 0W8 and 0W16 oils and can't wait to try them! Why not try diesel fuel! Ultimate thin oil for maximum economy in your Yaris!

    High oil pressure in 2.5L TJ jeep

    Its not just magically going to go high, these old Jeep motors barely carry 40psi when hot. Unless you rebuilt it and had very tight clearances and a HV oil pump, its the gauge or sending unit thats at fault. Oil pressure didn't change

    PP 0W20 Defect?

    LMBO! Pennzoil is 3 times better oil these days than M1 is. I wouldn't run M1 products in my lawn mower...

    What Enables Such Long Intervals With Diesels??

    Sump Capacity and most any of these guys going with super extended OCI's are running a bypass filtration system.

    Ford 6.0 PSD experts chime in!

    Tried like heck to sneak the cover out but it wasn't happening! With my luck I was certainly going to drop a bolt on the motor while fighting it! Went ahead and pulled the intake and EGR cooler, replaced all gaskets and O rings which was a good thing, as they all needed it!

    Ford 6.0 PSD experts chime in!

    I got a great deal on a new HPOP with the updated STC fitting so I just went ahead and replace it all. I had a very audible "rattle" in the engine for a bout a year that always sounded like it was coming from the HPOP area. Got the truck buttoned up yesterday and fired. Ran rough for a bit until...

    Ford 6.0 PSD experts chime in!

    Thank you sir for chiming in! I'm putting a new HPOP on this week along with the new STC fitting. I figured while I've got it down this far I am going to not take any chances of it being a bad pump.

    Ford 6.0 PSD experts chime in!

    It was a pretty noticeable leak with only 120psi of shop air, so I can assume when its 2000-3000psi that its severe enough to completely lose high pressure oil and not run or start?

    Ford 6.0 PSD experts chime in!

    Cover is off and checked the back, doesn't appear to have blown completely apart and I see no cracks thankfully! Its been one of those trucks that has just always been reliable, and I'm the type that says "don't fix if it ain't broke" lol Guess it got me this time! The tow bill was painfull...

    Ford 6.0 PSD experts chime in!

    Was driving my beloved (and so hated) 2005 Ford F350 last week to the races, pulling a loaded 40ft race trailer up the interstate when it just completely shut off at 75mph! This truck only has 150k miles on it and has been meticulously maintained. EGR and all that long gone as well as the other...
