    Batterys 2019 F150 3.3

    Yeah the cold weather got me thinking about it. The longest factory new battery that I had ( Toyota Tundra 2005 lasted right out 7 years. Most others was 5-6 years. That’s why I said I’m in my window. But I will run it till it happens. Just when it does I want a battery in mind to put in there...

    Batterys 2019 F150 3.3

    Got original factory battery. 2019. It's actually fine right now. No issues. But it's pushing 5 years old. So I know it's in its last couple of years. My experience anyhow. I haven't bought a battery in ten years . Stick with a motorcraft replacement when the time comes ? Or anything that...

    Hypothetically, who makes a good 5w-20 for a modern, non-turbo engine?

    My F150 calls for 5w20. It's the 3.3 n/a engine . I was searching just like you. Very similar traveling like yourself. I picked Pennzoil Platinum . Just because. But any at Wal-Mart is good to go. I change it 4000-5000 miles . Just because I can WarDawg

    Why do ford 3.3L Engines Tick?

    I have a 2019 f150 3.3. Just a daily driver. Homeowner running to Lowe’s vehicle. It’s been 100% reliable. I hate that they are going to drop it from there line up. I went with due to it being a NA non turbo engine. Did look at the 5.0 but to many oil issues being worked on with the cylinder...

    Stupid question of the day. Car ramps.

    I started changing my own oil again. Changed it twice. What a pain in butt with my fat ass. Not as small and nimble as I use to be. I had these ramps since the mid 90’s. Changed many many vehicles. But they was smaller trucks and cars. The weight sticker is faded. But I believe it’s says 6500...

    2024 Civic w/NA 2.0 - Honda recommends 0w-20 - Suggestions and thoughts?

    the info on these engines is all over the place. I was confused when I was buying mine. HRV 2023 2.0 n/a engine is multiport. I found information on the 2024 civic 2.0 n\a engine to say two different things. Honda news says it's a multiport system .

    2024 Civic w/NA 2.0 - Honda recommends 0w-20 - Suggestions and thoughts?

    The 2.0 civic , HRV is not a direct injection engine. It is old school multiport injection.

    Newerish to me Ford edge 2019

    I’m don’t want to be a doom and gloomer. The 2.0 T edge for a couple of years has a block design problem. 2017-2019 is what I remember. The head gasket will leak into the cylinders. The only fix is to put a new block in it. Ford has been swapping them out for this issue . I believe now at no...

    Please help sort my thoughts about buying a new car.

    It’s not a dog. Accelerates fine. But it is not a turbo direct injected fast 4 banger either. But not having a turbo direct injected engine is why I bought it.

    Best engine in 2023?

    I own both these engines. 2019 F150 3.3 n/a Dual injection ( direct & multiport ) and 2023 Honda HRV 2.0 n/a port fuel injection with no start stop bs. Neither are power monsters . And they aren’t rocket ships. But in todays modern engines , they are slipping into the old school engine’s...

    The time has come. I’m going to change my oil myself again.

    It has the 6 speed. I have no complaints with the engine or transmission shift points. I can pull 24-26 mpg if I let it roll at 65 mph. It’s flat land where I live and drive mostly. It’s not the engine for everyone. I’m not hauling or towing heavy loads. Mulch and a washer/ drier type stuff. 3.3...

    The time has come. I’m going to change my oil myself again.

    They had that in 2018. A plastic oil pan also. I believe. Mine (2019) they changed back to a steel or at least metal oil pan with a normal steel plug. This is on the 3.3 n/a engine.

    The time has come. I’m going to change my oil myself again.

    Free oil changes are over. 3 years worth. F150 3.3. I bought PP 5W20 and a Fram ultra guard oil filter. The washer on my drain plug , is it the kind I change out every time ? Or a metal/ rubber coated style. Had that on my thunderbird. If I should replace it , where’s the go to place to get...

    Please help sort my thoughts about buying a new car.

    I forgot to add. The 2023 Honda HRV has no stop start bs. So they’re tried and true 2.0 N/A multi port fuel injection engine. CVT I think 159 hp. The engine in today’s market is considered old school imo. It moves well enough. But not fast like the normal modern 4 bangers. I got one for the SOLE...
