I have used and even talked with Garrett. It goes back to the simple point I made of conduction because the turbo is much hotter than the water even after heat soak some residual cooling can occur (conduction, radiation) but there are a lot of variables in any situation! The oil change is...

The short explanation. As a engineer, you should be able to apply/understand that the so called movement, if it exist at all cannot serve the purpose of cooling. When you shut that engine off, zero oil flow, zero water flow, no pumping. The engine and components go into a Heat Soak condition...

Just a tip! Have dealer show you that the EBB on your truck, not by VIN, is not in the recalled part numbers. With the parts shortage many times the one on the shelf installed at the factory is not the latest part! They have traceable numbers on the part. :like:

I'm not disagreeing with the existence/science of friction. This has been studied in the race world since I started driving. We could, way back when, gain close to 100hp on a dyno by using friction reducing tricks (actually many of which are used in today's engines as they caught on). The...

Gool Good points, FYI I'll be posting something in the future about those percentages they've been floating around a very long time, they simply have no factual basis of proof. Not even sure how it got started, 60 %, 70%, 80%, 90% seen someone use them all. :like:

Have you noticed any difference in drivability, idle, shifting etc...?? Mines been working fine and sure don't want some update screwing things up! :)

"Good for my OCD, too." O= Oil C= Change D= Duties Just had to there spellcheck! :like: :LOL::LOL:

Have you, or did your VIN fall under the recall for the EBB update? It can be done over the air? Just a thought. :like:

Nice find, enjoy and welcome! :rockon:

A lot of people are not as fortunate as you in understanding that point. Like I said earlier, a pictures worth a thousand words. 👍

Not hardly, I cut my teeth working on Detroit, Catapillers and Cummins! :sunglasses:

I been staring at motor oils since the 60's. No commercial labs were around like today. There were very few but very expensive. Our eyes were what we used by experience. A typical analysis does not tell you varnish potential which one can clearly see, like the photos. It requires a special...

FYI. Science/Physics says: " Considering fluid flow over a hot surface, conductive heat flows from the surface into a laminar fluid layer, then proceeds into the neighboring fluid that is moving. Therefore, heat convection is the superposition of heat conduction and thermal transport into the...

Gotta love a clean engine. My Son still driving my old Explorer 5.0l 288000+ and just now replaced valver cover gaskets. He said looked great inside and has only had conventional oil but of course more frequent oil changes. Pictures are worth a thousand words! 👍

Chemically speaking, yes. Oxidation starts the minute you crank that engine after an oil change. Heat from the engine only exasperates the process. I myself change oil once a year even if mileage is under change intervals. My motorcycle, show car etc.... I'd rather play it safe then end up...

Depends on many factors. Look in the valve cover if possible through oil fill. If you see the metals starting to gain a Carmel coloring any where you can see in my humble opinion change it more often than not. Oil is cheap insurance verses a motor or problems with it! :)

I just wanted to post/pass this this on so others can actually see proof that your oil change intervals matter. These are 2.5l engines, not Fords but just personnel picture proof of the difference. The clean engine is after 126,000 miles. I personally took care of that cars maintenance for 10...

It is made to slide over the existing cover. nice and snug, so far no problems. Go to link and look at the pictures might help you see what I mean. :like:

It feels kind of grippy. Pictures are right after install about a month ago to see how I'd like it before posting. Made of silicone so should last it's moneys worth. No Amour All or anything on it. I like the non slick feel myself.
