I'm not sure you will be able to find a 2011 Crown Vic or Grand Marquis. This is going completely off the top of my head, but I THINK the last year for a non Taxi or Cop Car Vic was 2008 (I was working for Ford at that time, so remember this is just from memory). You would be looking at a...

Looking for a new set of summer tires for the wifes car. She has an extra set of wheels and winter tires for the snow. Commute is about 8 miles total. Pavement the entire way. Drives down a winding creek road, then hits the freeway for a few miles, and finally a little stop and go driving in...

Here was my install: http://www.bobistheoilguy.com/forums/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=2509811#Post2509811 I didn't opt for the magnets, but I've always stuck a couple rare earth magnets to the bottoms of my filters. I did the same on the bypass and the full flow with this setup...

So is your opinion "overpriced, not very good" or "overpriced, but a decent oil?" I guess the price didn't really scare me. Heck, I spend about $70 an oil change on my pickup. For the same price I got the oil and oil filter, and enough fluids to do the axles at least once, maybe twice. But...

Hi All I realize this is very much like closing the gate after all the horses have left... but - I recently ordered a full Polaris synthetic fluid kit. It came with engine oil and oil filter, and all the specific fluids for the differentials and transmissions - etc. etc. Anyway, what is the...

Yup! Happy to report that everything seems to be working as designed. The bypass filter was warm to the touch tonight after my drive home from work. Next, I plan on an analysis at around 9k miles to see how it is all doing.

Here is a quick install of a Pareto Top Dog V bypass filter on a 2009 Ford Focus. I've created my own systems in the past, but this time I wanted something that was already engineered and would be much easier to install. I'm very impressed with this kit. Here is the mounting bracket that comes...

My concern is heat. How are they put together? Will the glue fail at oil temperatures? Any other materials fail at oil temps?

Alright Alright Alright!! Sheesh. You're all a bunch of negative nancys around here. (just kidding). Here is my issue: they had a replaceable filter in early 09, went to non-replaceable in late 09, and back to replaceable in 10. That kind of torques me a bit. I won't add my own filter. I'll...

I have not tried the B164! I think that will happen on the next change. I THINK the first 2 oil changes with the analysis were with no bypass filter installed. Maybe just the first. I honestly cannot remember back that long. I got an e-mail that the bypass would likely ship last Friday. No...

Originally Posted By: doitmyself Does your Focus model also have the lifetime air filter? (I'm serious). No, it does not, thank goodness!!! Maybe I'll just leave the thing and not worry about it. Really hard for me to do coming from a diesel truck where I replace 2 fuel filters ever 15k...

Originally Posted By: NHGUY The actual filter is probably built into the fuel pump/sending unit,any auxiliary filter AFTER that wont be helping the original screen/filter... Whats the micron rating of that filter?

Yes. I commute about 600 miles per week. I plan on keeping this one until it becomes too expensive to repair should any problems come up. I hope for close to 200k before I switch to a new vehicle.

So I just picked up a 2009 Ford Focus to use as a commuter car. As I do with any vehicle that I don't know the maintenance history, I went through and started replacing every filter and fluid I could find. I get through the front half of the car and move to the fuel filter. I search and search...
