Are they finally admitting what new cars from the factory come with to reduce noises? Sounds like this is an admittance that Ceratec is OK to use.

Oh you need 10 quarts, well that’s more. Yes. I’m aware.

BG MOA is being offered now everywhere. My Mercedes dealer just offered it up on my TTV8 E550. Extra money...

Sounds like big time b.s to me.

BG MOA® is the number one engine oil supplement! ... Without these protective additives, severe engine oil oxidation occurs. Oxidation reduces oil to heavy, black sludge in the crankcase, oilscreens, oil passages, rocker arms and other critical areas of the engine.

Looks like just another oil additive

They only charged me $99. Yes it was 10 quarts of full synthetic. The advisor told me the wrong price, in my favor, for the extra quarts. I brought the filter since last time they had to go to another dealer and get one, as it wasn’t in stock. I have the spin on type.

Bells and whistles.

Stock tire aren’t rotatable unless you go side to side.

If you can’t check and modulate your tire pressures, maybe the GT350 is a bit too much of a car for you.

Most GT350 owners will know how to conduct:

• an all fluid level check and adjust accordingly with the product they choose; and
• whatever multipoint inspections are recommended or desired for their vehicles.

I have a hard time accepting a service costing $59.95 will use oil meeting spec
WSS-M2C931-C as directed by Ford much less one costing $119.95 and using a spec oil filter and actually doing all that is advertised.

Has Ford approved the use of additives?

Caveat emptor

Can anyone confirm if this is legit? As much as it pains me to say it (and i dont want to open yet another BBQ tick thread), I hope so! My 2019 has 2000 miles on it and has the tick. I'm hopeful that something like this would fix it!

Never said I couldn’t do any of these. I’m perfectly capable. As far as has Ford approved this stuff? I have no idea. But I hadn’t seen it anywhere on the forum and thought I’d bring it up

The vague nature of your post solicited a desire to post my opinion.

I don’t think I implied you were gonna do any of it. Apologies for any insult.

No worries. The world has bigger problems at the moment. I merely had not seen any info on BG MOA or engine assurance, as I know a lot of people take their cars in for oil changes due to warranty concerns / getting it documented, and let’s be honest, it is kind of a pain in the ass to change the oil on these cars. I know I’d make a mess. 100% chance of that.

Form A Funnel helps quite a bit. Theres links in the GT350 Basics stickies on how to do ‘clean’ oil changes for both the spin on and canister type filters.

As for the BG MOA, your post is the first I’ve heard of it. Thanks for posting it. I read the product page and it seems like it’s hyping the dangers of oxidized oil causing it to turn black and sludgy.

I would think, with today’s synthetics, you’d have to skip a few changes for oil to degrade to that point.

i agree. I think as anal as we are here about oil changes that shouldn’t be an issue either
