    EcoBoost - Mobil 1 AFE 0w30 or Castrol 0w40?

    I just wanted to chime in on that timing chain rattle you mentioned. I noticed that only after I changed the oil on my dad's '18 Expedition Limited. after changing the oil I heard that ticking sound for about a few seconds and went away. But I never heard it before upon start up or since the oil...

    Horrible oil change

    It cant be the filter since you said you checked and didn't find any damage, but was there oil leaking from the base of the filter? have a look around again inside the engine bay. the amount of oil you found would have come from somewhere.

    2012 Hyundai Accent SE Code P0326

    I would check the wiring for the knock sensor. could be corrosion caused by moisture somewhere causing the sensor to give a false reading/short. Since you are not having issues operating the car, that rules out the PCM. And you have replaced the sensor so the only thing I can think of that...

    2019 Chevy Monza

    looks like a Chevy Cruze with a different name and slightly different c pillar and side mirror. Chevy could just be trying to market the name overseas.

    What was Toyota thinking with the plastic filter housing?

    Thats one reason that would make me think twice before getting a toyota. Its just extra things you have to do that complicates what is essentially a simple thing to do.Plus you need that special filter wrench too. But in all honesty, what I do want that Toyota (and some newer Fords, as well as...

    2013 Civic - PICK A #&$% GEAR!!!

    Have you tried replacing the pressure switches on the transmission? I replaced the ones on my 2006 TL because it started to exhibit the same symptoms you have. did that then did a trans fluid drain and refill and the problem went away. kept the car for 6 years from new and let it go around 95k.I...

    New to BITOG - advice on weekend car

    I've just been more used to using it. But I'm not opposed to trying out a different brand. I plan to change back to the M1 EP for the Evo next time I change the oil, but was also thinking of using Edge instead.

    2021 Bronco to get 2.3L Ecoboost..maybe

    The Ranger Raptor IIRC uses the 2.3 Turbo 4. I don't know if they will switch that up to the 2.7 though if its already good enough for a Raptor version.

    New to BITOG - advice on weekend car

    New to BITOG here. Full disclosure - I've always used M1 on all my cars long before I knew about BITOG so pardon my lack of knowledge. I'm pretty brand-loyal and up until a few years ago I've been using the regular M1 Synthetic you can get at Walmart. I would consider myself an advanced amateur...
