Okay, I think I understand now! Thanks y'all!

Okay, I think I understand a bit, but this is just for my knowledge, really. You said "If you're cranking below -22F then you need a 0W-xx," but I'm not cranking anywhere near those temperatures. It rarely gets below 20F where I am. Do I understand correctly that "need" is the operative word...

Sorry, even as long as I've been lurking here there's a lot of information that hasn't quite sunk in and I get a bit overwhelmed. What I meant by "the 0 being closer to a 5" is that, if I am reading these comments correctly, either: 1. the viscosity of the Mobil 1 ESP 0w30 when cold is going to...

@tired you're correct, sorry, I'm just using regular Pennzoil Platinum high mileage, not Pennzoil Ultra Platinum. So for everyone else, basically, the "0" is closer to a "5" in terms of how it actually performs in the real world, and has additional benefits in the form of a higher HTHS and...

Chiming in a bit late since I have the same car. I'm perfectly happy with Pennzoil Ultra Platinum High Mileage but I am admittedly curious since Mobil 1 ESP is the same price or cheaper - why, in laymans terms, would one use a 0w30 in a car where the recommended factory fill is 5w20 (or 5w30...

Good enough for me.

Hi folks, I'll try to keep this short and sweet. I currently have a 2017 Ford Fiesta ST that I've had since new. This car has the 1.6 EcoBoost GDI engine. I have kept up with maintenance and done regular oil changes using whatever fully ynthetic oil I can find that meets factory specs, mostly...

Thanks for the assist, folks. I will continue running whichever I can get on sale (sometimes PUP can be found cheaper than PP) and changing it regularly.

Hi folks, SUPER quick question. I vaguely remember reading here on this forum a few years ago on here that Penn Platinum was a better choice in turbocharged, direct-injected engines than Ultra Platinum. In my specific case, it's a 2017 Ford Fiesta ST. Based on that, I've been running regular...

Sure. I have not been able to buy direct yet and am still not sure if it's an option, I certainly don't want to send a bunch of folks their way thinking they can do so as even if they were able to accommodate this request it would likely be a one-off edge case. That said, I did get a response...

yes as I currently only have one gun and it requires very little oil. I'm fine paying for shipping, it's just that paying more than 100% of the price of a small item to ship seems a bit much to me. The folks at Rattac and I are going to try to work something out since I have to be in their city...

I'm gonna absolutely go with Weapon Shield, I'm just hoping I can find a way to get it without paying $20+ for shipping. If I can't, BreakFree was my second choice.

Bless this forum. Been lurking here for years reading about different oils for my cars, and now I've bought a Glock 48 and here I am, learning about other kinds of oils. But y'all have always done right by me on telling me what to put in my car - my heavily-modified 2017 Fiesta ST burns zero...

Well, since burping the system, the problem hasn't come back, though it's also been much cooler this week. I'll keep an eye on it. It is interesting how low the fill of fluids is on these cars. dailydriver - same name on those forums for me! The Ravenol is a lot cheaper than the BG but I'm on...

As a side note, dailydriver, how do you like the Ravenol MTF-2 in the transaxle? I'm torn between that and the BG Synchro-shift II.

The WRC-style vents are nice and a number of people have proven that they are functional, though the best price I've found for them is about $290, not including shipping from the UK. The fan relay/recall TSB only extends to the 2015, I believe they fixed that issue along with the revisions made...

There was TONS of air in the system. Not sure how as no coolant lines were disconnected when we were working on the car, but I added probably a quart of coolant yesterday. No visible leaks but will be keeping a vigilant eye out just in case. Ford has a reputation for under-filling the fluids on...

Yeah, there's an air bleeder valve at the top of the radiator so I'm going to burp it tonight and add coolant if necessary, then check for leaks (I know a lot of the factory fill fluids are underfilled so I might just not have enough coolant). Good call on the A/C, confirming that my aversion...

I used the A/C while sitting in traffic, yeah, but I'm generally not a "blast the AC" guy. I agree it's likely an air bubble in the system as we had to move the coolant overflow tank to upgrade the passenger's side motor mount and a line may have gotten pinched/temporarily disconnected when we...

Hi all, Looking for some recommendations on a coolant additive, if any, for my 2017 Fiesta ST. The car overheated under normal conditions last night and I'd like to avoid that as we move into summer. It was 97F out and I headed up a hill on my way home after sitting in stop and go traffic for...
