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...

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...

Pondering about getting a jeep wrangler . New. 2 door Sport. Power nothing. Plain Jane. But dam there’s a lot of bad reviews on these engines. Are they as bad as advertised ???!

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...

New vehicle last night . Checking fluids this morning. The windshield wiper reservoir fluid is clear as water. Might be ??!! I put a sample in freezer. I tasted it. Tasted like water. A drop on my tongue. Rinsed my mouth with clean water. Is it supposed to be clear ?? I realize they put a dye in...

Motorcraft fl500s. Got some points to use at Ford dealership . I have a 2019 f150 3.3 Put 5000 a year on it. So once a year OCI normally. Getting some free fl500s and sitting them on the shelf for a couple of years should be ok ? Might throw in a couple air filters also. I figure no issues. Not...

I’ve search for the particular K series engine that’s in them. I’ve found nothing that identifies it. I’ve search long and hard. Best I can find it’s based off the Civic line. Was wanting to find info break down of the engine. Just nothing that out right identifies it. Other than a 2.0 n/a ...

2019 2.0 ecoboost. 90% short trips. Wife’s. Retired. Grocery store run. Direct injection doing its thing. I guess.

Every manufacturer has VVT . As far as reliability is concerned is concerned , are they created equal? Always wondered. TY WarDawg

Can I just go by a mail drop box on the corner and drop it in. First timer !!!!!! thanks.

I have a 2019 f150 3.3 NA Factory MC5w20 syn blend. It has 9000 miles on it. OLM has it being changed every 3000 miles. I’m due a change right now. Sitting at 20%. That’s my personal change marker. This will be the third oil change . Why?? I drive two miles to work . So when the free oil changes...

I took my f150 3.3 and had its second oil change factory spec is 5w20. My invoice papers today said they put 5W30 Motorcraft synthetic blend in it. I questioned it and the service guy said don’t pay attention to my owners manual. Said Ford changed spec for that engine to 5w30. I’ve looked on the...

I have a 2018 frontier with 600 Miles on it right now. OCI per Nissan is 5000/6months . I drive 2 1/2 miles to work. 4000 miles a year is probably realistic. I will run a full synthetic in it . Is a once a year realistic and safe due to the short runs? Thanks gawardawg

New vehicle. Dealership gave me a few free oil changes with vehicle. But if all they are going to put in it is dino bulk I'll just change it myself. It specs a 5w30sn oil. The factory oil change has been moved to a 6 months / 5000 Mile change. Nissan filters check out ok ? Is there a 5w30 sn of...
