This is a new one for me. This was your only change and then no tick? I started with 2 bottles of Ceratec which worked, then backed it to 1 which seemed to work for a while, but now I'm hearing it early in my latest oil change. So was just going to go back to another bottle, but I'll try this...
I'm at the other end of the spectrum with my RS2. 2018 w 73K on it. Has been a daily driver for me with some highway love marks. Runs great, and I still love it, but have started looking for both what I could get out of mine, and since I do love the Roush, what a reset would run with a newer...
I actually got a second extended warranty via Flood when my first one was about to expire. Tucking away 2K to save for repairs is great, unless you run into a major repair. Then the 5 cents you made in interest on that 2K won't replace your A10. I personally feel good about the investment as...
Same single knock on startup "sometimes" here. No active exhaust so I'm ruling that out as "the thing." I don't think I ever get it on a cold start in the morning when it's sat overnight. But if I'm going here and there during the day and the engine is good and warm, many times I'll get that...
For me it's been Castrol EDGE Extended Performance in 5W-30 and 1 bottle of Ceratec. So far so good.
BUT - I had a little interesting situation. I change the oil in my Mustang and prior to my wife getting a new RDX, the oil in her Murano. Welp at some point, in my drain pan I found this...
You might be better off right now this moment looking for an older Acura NSX or Toyota Supra with low miles that's in good shape if you are looking for something that is on the rise. Reality is, if you have an extra 100+K to invest in something that you are looking to make a good ROI on, a car...
Just putting this here because it's a newer thread. But does anyone know if a 2018 Roush RS2 would have any other rotor/caliper/brake pad setup than a standard PP1 of the same year? My Ford extended warranty is about to expire, I haven't done brakes yet and needing it.
I want to get a 60K...
That is exactly what I attempt to do... I have taken to wedging a sheet of tin foil up from where the filter meets the threads down over that steel beam. That way "when" (not if) oil starts pouring out when removing the filter it goes down the path of the foil and into the oil pan and doesn't...
Agree with lighter, heat sink and corrosion. Cannot wrap my head around metal a conductor being quieter than an non-conductor. No matter what type of plastic it will absorb. Metal does not. Hit a flag pole with an aluminum bat. Now hit it with a whiffle ball bat. Which is louder? The...
I'd have to say composite. I've never seen sound deadening done with metal. I have often seen metal coated with non-metallic materials to make it more quiet.
I'm no engineer, but I would think metal would transmit vibration/noise more than composite would. Tap a metal tub with a hammer then do the same with a plastic one. Which makes more noise?
Side just looks way too Camaro for my tastes. Seems like it was a "we must do SOMETHING" move that really didn't work out, like so many other "we must do SOMETHING" moves....
You are going to get a zillion opinions on this. I run Castrol EDGE Extended Performance (but seems like it is starting to get scarce) in 5W-30. In the coldest part of winter where I live in Southern Indiana it may get down into the single digits, but mostly in the 20s. So I don't feel like I...
Mine came from Roush with metal baffles closing off the inner quad tips. Removing those was a pretty dramatic change. Don't know how the aftermarket ones come but if they do come with them in, I'd highly recommend taking them out. Super easy to do, so you can try them first with them in, but...
I love mine, but I've got the 10 Speed Auto, so I'm only running about 2K RPM's at highway speed and it's just a relatively low rumble. But when you get on it.... it's glorious! I had an 89 GT back in the day with Flowmasters and a 5 speed. That setup was drone city at highway speed.
