As someone who has autocrossed, I recommend leaving the assists on for at least half a dozen events, lol. It's tempting to just switch everything off right away, but unless you're already a pro, the car behaves COMPLETELY differently with all the assists off and you'll probably explode some...
Trak Lok WILL wear out eventually, sooner depending how hard you beat on it. Torsen is just...better, lol. But if it makes you feel better, a replacement trak lok unit is like $150. I just serviced mine after 8k of running wide and sticky tires out back (and a lot of curvy roads), and there was...
Part of me wonders how much Ford switching to 5W30 as the spec made a difference. My car seems to love 5W30 over the 20 weight, since the burn rate drops dramatically.
I'm actually a meguiars guy. It's well priced and readily available, while being a solid 8/10 quality wise.
If I had to switch it would probably switch to carpro.
Most manufacturers have that same type of clause now in the manual. In the beginning when the 2018 refresh first came out, Ford had a different definition of excessive, which was 1 quart in 3000 miles. They were replacing engines left and right for the F150, so they changed it to that. It's...
My engine seems to be doing well, so that's nice. The Valvoline EP is good stuff. Super high moly content. Gonna keep using it, since it's available locally unlike Pennzoil UP.
I think it has something to do with the tolerances between the cylinder and the piston rings. Not all gen 3 burn oil, just some do. Some are worse than others. Probably just manufacturing variances. I think it's one of the reasons Ford switched the spec back to 5W30 in 2021. Seems like most of...
My car is about a quart to quart and a half every 5,000 miles lol. It's annoying but otherwise doesn't really matter much. I scoped every cylinder and they all looked the same, same with plugs. Only burns if I'm beating on it. 2000 miles of normal driving doesn't burn a drop. Oh well.
I thought tax credits just reduced your liability? Much like the standard deduction does that most poor/middle class people opt for. The gov only taxes a certain portion of your gross income. So any credits that stack on top means your taxable income for the year decreases. It doesn't mean you...
