There is one drawback for PAO. It does not mix with the additive package. So you still have to add a group 3 or group 5 base oil to handle that additive mixing job. Even Mobil 1 has changed formulation mainly due to PAO cost. Mobil 1 has many flavors of base oil formulation over time and now has...

Red Line Performance vs Amsoil Signature, Both great, but targets different markets. If you search for comparison there is a lot of opinions. Be careful of the statement "meets, or exceeds". The ILSAC starburst seal is paid for, same as Ford standards. So under warranty, read your Operation...

My 4x4 XLT 2.7 is a metal pan. Yesterday I was able to reach my Ronin oil drain valve without issue. No pan removal.

The Rams let me down, down under. Always the Chargers to fall back on.

Just my view... Catch cans collect some oil but is a restriction to the engineered design of the PCV. What oil it collects does not affect the IVD. Especially a forced air and dual injector engine. Mazda Skyactiv engines use intake valves heated above 400 degrees, a air/oil separator before the...

Bet you cannot watch this whole video...

Today having breakfast, the waffle special, my mind went to wandering about then and now. 30 years ago we had Bob Hope, Johnny Cash and Steve Jobs... Now we have no hope, no cash and no jobs. Jesus, don't let Kevin Bacon die...

Hope this is not offending anyone. This was performed in Ghostbusters Movie dated 1940.

I have a 1 1/2 year left of my PUP. After that will be going to Mobil 1 Truck and SUV. Maybe Pearl refinery, Qatar will be up and running by then.

Like above. Rinse, wash, rinse. Then use leaf blower for most water removal. (Ego) Then spray with battery garden sprayer loaded with di-water and blow that water off.again. That DI water works really well for shine.

Fast food. El Niño and tropical storm surge swells make for great foiling.

New sport with some exciting footage.

I do the least amount of effort to document my oil changes. I take a picture of the milage, separate picture of oil used. Date is then on both photos.

Thank you for the borescope pictures. Agree with you that flow restriction is minimal. No matter how you clean the valves, or catch can exc. it is a fact that every 2.3 or 2.7 eco boost intake valve will look that way. A lot better than when the eco boost was just DFI. Clean it up, it will come...

Agree that the engines in the Ranger are optimized for E10 via the ECU.

We are both right. Check out the BTU per gallon under HP here. https://eco-savvy.blog/non-ethanol-gas-vs-ethanol-gas-comparison

I hear 10% ethanol fuels have an overall 3% reduction in power over non-ethanol fuel. Your engine ECU is used to it though. Suggest premium fuel, as I see you use. Top Tier + fuel is good advice.

I only buy Costco gas, so this is the average Costco per state. The State gas tax needs to be subtracted to see the fraud rate. https://costcogaspricelive.com/ Annual Highway Report https://reason.org/highway-report/28th-annual-highway-report/california/

No ethanol free here in Kaliforn. But because of the ridiculous price I thought I would start with regular gas. 1500 miles on my 2.7 I switched over to premium and my MPG increased to beat the price difference.

Wow. My favorite oil is PUP. Now I think a switch to Mobil 1 Truck and SUV is in the future. But that means the price of all motor oil is going up.
