Meguiars HCW is great stuff. I am just as impressed with Turtle Wax Wax And Dry that I have been buying for $4 a 26 oz bottle from Amazon shipped free. Less than one third the price of HCW and just as easy to use if not easier. Doesn’t last as long but, shines as good or better than HCW and I’m...
I have a 2018 ecoboost automatic coupe. I travel back and forth between Charlottesville, Virginia and Lewisetta, Virginia. 150 mile trip. Going from Cville to Lewisetta I get 37 MPG at 65 mph and 35 MPG going from Lewisetta to Cville. Most don’t like to drive this slow. I do because I get to sit...
I don’t take turns fast so, I won’t notice a handling difference. What I do notice is a smoother ride with more sidewall and better MPGs. Those big 19” polished wheels were a lot heavier. The main reason I got the 17” wheels was for a smoother ride. I almost took this Mustang back a couple days...
No, I’m totally convinced now that all backyard “mechanics” are far more qualified than real, trained mechanics! You have totally convinced me real mechanics know absolutely nothing! Only back yard do it your self guys know anything!:like: Obviously!
I would trust the mechanic that HAS TORN DOWN ENGINES DAILY AND REBUILT THEM instead of a backyard do it your selfer. Think about it but, suit yourself.
Could it possibly be because he’s been changing and working on his own car and others cars ALL DAY LONG, EVERY DAY for 20+ years and is trained to do so. Why are there so many people that dismiss what real mechanics say? I don’t know but, I am not one of them. I’ll take their word over any forum...
I am too chicken to try for 7000-10000 mile oil changes with this turbo engine. Hey, I see you have magneride. Does it make your car ride smoother? How do you like it?
Don’t be cheap! This article says. Change it to be safe. Don’t use oil analysis to outsmart oil change intervals. Very good advice. https://www.torquenews.com/1/how-often-do-you-change-ford-f-150-oil-here-what-ecoboost-owners-say-and-what-oil-they-use
You mean you’ve gone over 300,000 miles on a car doing 5000 mile oil changes?!!! Scary the thought of changing your oil too soon!!! Genxer is a very smart person. He didn’t wait too long to change his car’s oil and it lasted a long time. Folks, if you have ANY question about whether you should...
Smart to change oil early rather than pushing limits. Common sense. Don’t let anyone tell you any different. Clean oil is better than dirty oil every time.
So, I asked a technician what had to be done to their oils to make them SN Plus certified. He said they had to make a chemistry detergent change.
Less calcium
More magnesium
I then asked if their synthetic blend would be ok to run in my Mustang ecoboost. He said yes but won’t last as long as...
Ok, so, I’ll bring in a few YouTube videos. I know, I know, don’t trust them. Anybody can make them but, to a certain degree, I do.
First one is this guy saying EXACTLY what my nephew mechanic says. Yes, your UOA may be accurate info but, nothing beats experiences SEEN WITH THEIR OWN EYES than...
