Most recent UOA for my 2015 Ford Fusion with the 2.0L Ecoboost. This run had 12,575mi, 333 hours, and 25.7 average mpg. Oil (amsoil sso 0w-40, SN+) and filter (OG Fram Ultra 3614) installed 8/14/22 and drained 6/2/23. This was the winter run so lots of remote starting and warming up, and cold...

Big new for those of us in central Iowa and the midwest. Now referred to Kum & Gone. Anyone have experience with Maverik? How are they? https://www.maverik.com/media/press-releases/maverik_adventures_first_stop_to_acquire_kum_and_go_and_solar_transport_from_krause_group.pdf

Well we know it would come to an end. The price of the 6qt box finally got jacked up. Its now $29.98 for the 6qt box for the lifelong full syn, up from 22.XX a few weeks ago. Now same price as the PRO-RS line.

I ran over a nail and it chewed a hole in the sidewall in the rear driver tire. The current tire was Michelin MXM4 235/40R19 from when I bought the car. A year ago that tire was $225 but now almost $300/tire. Yikes. The rear tires had 5/32 so I was planning to replace next spring anyway. If it...

Some sold their hemi 6.4L that needed 0w-40. They had 36qts that the wanted $5/qt for. I normally wait for the clearance but $180 for 36qts of “SN+“ SSO 0w-40, I couldn't pass it up for the Ecoboosts.

I have a desktop computer that currently has 2x4gb 3200 ram. I’m running out of ram with having multiple windows and programs going. I like to also do some light gaming periodically but have a dgpu. I can either buy 2x8gb 3200 or I can buy a single stick of 16gb 3200 $30 cheaper and run 1x4 and...

Have a 3 year oil MS170 stihl chainsaw. I finally used up all of the Stihl oil that they gave with me when purchasing it. I filled up with Amsoil Saber 50:1 ratio and now I have a bunch of white smoke when I open the throttle up. Any ideas on what is causing this? Is it clean up some deposits...

Most recent uoa on our 2016 ford edge, the winter OCI. This vehicle is my wife's work car and is short tripped to and from work with the occasional long trip. Vehicle is remote started at least once a day and is stored in our un heated unattached garage. Previous fill was valvoline full syn...

Most recent UOA for the Fusion we purchased last June. This OCI was the winter OCI and this fusion was outside 100% of the time so it saw number below 0f starts. It was remote started at least 2 times a day during the heart of winter. It is driven on 20% city, 40% highway, 40% interstate. It...

This was from that fusion o oil change I did yesterday. 6,743 miles on RGT 5w30. Wanted to change it at 5k but life happened and it was too cold on the weekends for me to do it. Ran a bottle of regane at 5700mi. Overall the filter looks good to me. Please note the dent and bent pleat was due...

3 of the vehicles I service use the FL-910s, fram 3614 or purolator 10241 filters. I was curious about the efficiency of the 10241 line-up so I sent purolator tech support an email. Here is what I received about the 10241 filter specs. I have two L10241 and one PL10241 in the line up to use next...

Took this sample on our 2016 edge this was the first UOA I have performed on this vehicle. Have owned it for 2 years and since 38,000 miles. Oil was bulk napa (valvoline) synthetic and a wix 1348 oil filter. OCI had 4,876 miles on it and the edge had 54,263 at time of OCI. Refilled with RTG...

This is the 2015 fusion we purchased in June and is my daily driver of about 60 miles a day city/hwy/interstate mix and some "spirited" driving. Did a shorter OCI just to get a sense of how things are going. This was dealer fill 5w-30 motorcraft syn-blend with a FL-910s filter. Looks pretty good...

Data from fram. All in one thread. Not much difference in efficiency. For OCIs less than 10k, no reason to purchase the ultra now, imo. Tough guard is 99% at 20.

I've been looking for a set of winter tires for our 2015 fusion. It has the 19" rims but I bought a set of 17" fusion rims with the 235/50r17 tires. I'd be buying 225/55r17 winter tires. I've found a deal of new Goodyear Ultra Grip Ice WRT for ~$350 new plus mount/balance which is a great deal...

We just picked up a 2015 ford fusion titanium this past week. It was very well maintained. Had an initial trans fluid change at 36K, which I was glad to see. It just had an oil change right before I bought it with a complete inspection completed. I plan to do a short 3K oci and perform a UOA and...

I need to replace my old worn out weber genesis and looking to buy a new grill. It caught on fire and even though I caught it on time, the bottom of the grill is warped. Some grease got caught and started on fire, even thought I clean it out regularly. It seems Napoleon is becoming very popular...

I used the search but didn't have any luck. I have a question relating to base plate design and how they hold the adbv. For instance the newer deere 125424c filter has the same base plate design as the ST filters (see pictures) instead of the traditional design like the older 124525 or...

I bought an E110 earlier this year but found it just wasn't what I was looking for. I still had the 185 that I had for last few years and the newer E110. I sold them both 2 weeks ago and found a real nice 2011 X360 with 397 hours for sale locally. After selling the E110 and 185, it was a net...

I am a new owner of a E110 with 24 hours. I did not pay very much for it as I got it from a family friend who's father in law passed away. I know these is a very basic entry level of Deere and is no where need as ruggedly built as my old 185 hydro but the 185 has its fair share of issues now too...
