    Pennzoil Oil Analysis Test Program

    Thanks! I must have misplaced that sheet of paper. I have everything else, but not that.

    Pennzoil Oil Analysis Test Program

    A few months ago I got a message inviting me to the Pennzoil UOA test program. I got the welcome box, but never received the second batch of oil. Do I need to do anything to get the second box of oil shipped out?

    Oil Filter for Focus ST - Turbo Car

    In the turbo ST engine or the normal Focus engine? I haven't seen solid answers on OCI for the turbo focus, but I figured I'd stick to 7500 just to be safe.

    Oil Filter for Focus ST - Turbo Car

    Well I would love the second gear pull IF my second gear worked. It grinds and doesn't synch up about 20% of the time I go to shift it. [censored] near had an accident due to it. Love the rest of the car though!

    Oil Filter for Focus ST - Turbo Car

    Howdy! I have always used a good synthetic and Fram Ultra Guard for longer OCIs in my other vehicles... but I just bought a 2013 Focus ST, which is a turbo engine using 5w-30. What filter would be best for 7,500 OCIs? Would a high efficiency filter like the Fram Ultra Guard limit oil flow too...

    Where has all the Pennzoil Ultra Plat Gone?

    I have a 2013 Focus ST with turbo DI engine, and prefer Penzoil Ultra Plat for the additional cleaning performance. However, I can't seem to find the Ultra Plat in stock anywhere! Why is it gone, and does anyone know of a place to pick it up online in the USA? (Preferably cheaply) Thanks!

    Mobil 1 HM vs Mobil 1 Advanced 0w-20

    Who or what is TIG? I've seen this mentioned around the forums (I'm a hardcore lurker) but don't know what it means!

    Mobil 1 HM vs Mobil 1 Advanced 0w-20

    Howdy! I have a Ford Focus 2005 with 160,000 miles. It doesn't use a single drop of oil, even over 10,000 mile OCIs. Would you recommend Mobil 1 High Mileage 5w-20, or Mobil 1 Advanced (the fuel economy stuff) 0w-20? I plan to keep doing 10,000 mile OCIs. Some people on BITOG seem to think...

    Shell V-Power NiTRO+

    No benefit to Shell Nitro here. For what it's worth, I keep meticulous mileage records. The new Nitro gas gave me zero increase in gas mileage over Kroger or Chevron 87 (cheapest) octane gas. I drive a 2005 Ford Focus.

    Has anyone ever found an OBJECTIVE fuel study?

    Howdy! I've long been looking for an objective 3rd party study that tests the performance, cleaning, mpg, and other aspects of the various unleaded fuels available, as well as a pure petroleum "in-house-refined" product with no additives whatsoever as a control. The information that I've been...

    Mobil 1 high mileage

    I have a focus with 120k miles. It uses no oil. Should I switch to M1 HM or will that swell seals?

    OCI for 2005 Focus w 0w-20 Mobil 1 and FRAM Ultra

    Wonderful! You have the exact same car as me, so I'm thinking a 10k OCI is safe. Have you ever found a 12k or 15k UOA of our Focii?

    OCI for 2005 Focus w 0w-20 Mobil 1 and FRAM Ultra

    I actually just got 5 quarts of Mobil 1 synthetic and a Mobil 1 EP filter for $20 after the rebate they were just running

    OCI for 2005 Focus w 0w-20 Mobil 1 and FRAM Ultra

    I was considering getting a UOA, what's the best price for one, and would it be worth it, or should I wait until 10k and do it then? I found a $18 UOA kit from Wix on Amazon. I actually just bought the car 7 months ago and immediately changed the oil. 80% of my miles are carefully-driven...

    OCI for 2005 Focus w 0w-20 Mobil 1 and FRAM Ultra

    Howdy all! After spending hours on BITOG, I decided on Mobil 1 0w20 synthetic and a Fram Ultra Synthetic filter. I also added LiquiMoly additive. I have a 2005 Ford Focus with a 2.0 Duratec engine and 120,000 miles. My question is this: I've put 8,500 miles in 7 months on this combo with daily...
