2. That was the idea I got from this forum from several other long time members post in the past. Just was curious about it since I’ve seen long threads about it before.

So I guess the answer would be “whatever floats your boat” right? Lol

Always do. I take out 4.5 and refill with 4.5 on the Fusion. It’s always at the full mark when cold which is good.

You never know. I have read on this forum in the past about a vehicle manufacture saying to fill with 5 quarts of oil and the vehicle took more then that cause at 5 quarts it barely showed on the dipstick so saying the manufacture is always right is a far stretch as well wouldn’t you think? 😉

Sometimes the manufactures get it wrong though and I e read about that here on this forum way more then a few times in the past.

Any chance you could look up the drain plug torque on the 4 vehicles I’m gonna list here for me? 2008 Ford Fusion 2.3 Liter 2008 Saturn Aura 3.5 Liter 2010 Chevy HHR 2.2 Liter 2015 Chrysler Town N Country 3.6 Liter Ive never torqued down with a torque wrench the drain plugs before. Usually...

Nope. It’s the factory one that feeds straight down into the motor and not on a angle. Vehicle is a 2008 Ford Fusion with a 2.3 Liter Duratec.

I agree with this 100%.

Because it’s a forum and that’s what forums are for is for asking questions. 🤦🏼‍♂️🤷🏼‍♂️

My owners manual says to get it up to operating temperature, turn it off and wait 15 minutes but every time I do that it still never reads right. It’s still showing to high when I do it that way even though it only has 4.5 quarts of oil in it which is what the manual calls for. Funny thing is if...

Thank you. I’ve been a member for a while, I just never have posted before and I’ve read a bunch of threads on other forums about it and could never get a clear answer so I thought I’d ask here since you guys are all oil enthusiast. Figured I’d get the best response here.

Exactly!

Hello my fellow oil enthusiast! Hope you all are having a wonderful day. I have a couple questions that I was thinking about and they have my curiosity. Question #1. Is it best to change your vehicles oil when it’s cold or when the oil is hot from the engine getting up to operating...

Thank you

Curious, what is FCP stand for? Sorry if it’s been mentioned but I haven’t been on here in forever and haven’t read through all the forums.

Oh boy does it keep piling on! Went to change the belt on the car and the belt tensioner bolt snapped off!!! Grrrr!!! Now I gotta take it to a shop next week to have it fixed cause I don’t have the tools to fix it! So angry right now!

3 x 7,500 mile oci is pushing it a little to far for any filter. I would go max 2 x 7,500 mile oci safely. Never heard of anyone sticking magnets inside the oil pan before. Let us know how that goes. I like to run them on the filter body itself near the opening. Works great.

Distilled water. You can get it from Kroger for less then a dollar per gallon

ZeeOSix, what filter is that with the good louvers?
