Random thoughts for the day

Not 100% sure yet, but with the technology of the ecoboost motors being very similar to diesel motors the T6 might actually be of better use in our motors.
This is just a thought no proof or anything of that sort, but the diesel oils are designed with a strong cleaning package to reduce or hold soot in suspension.
plus they are designed with a thought to strong sheer resistance and a few other points. Plus its A LOT CHEAPER :)

5 gallon jug is $20 and right now there is a $5 mail in rebate, and 1 quart bottles are $6 to $7 dollars, plus a 8 dollar filter puts you cheaper than the oil change specials for the normal mobil 1, Castrol Edge ect. Considering you still have to buy an extra quart of oil that puts you over $45 dollars usually.

I have no problem running a 0w-40 or 5w-40 in the summer at all. And only limited hesitation in the winter.

You wouldn't know a problem if you had one.....You'd have to monitor oil pressure....It wouldn't be anything you could feel. If you were running the car on a road coarse you could potentially get the oil hot enough to thin to get oil pressure back down to stock levels
 
I would compare the MSDS/PDS for both the Motorcraft 5W30 and the T6 xW-40 to see how wide of a gap the differences are (at the very least).  Def don't want those oil passages flowing anything less than freely.
 
Too bad about the rainy days, BiGMaC, but I hope the food did make up for it.  Some of the best & freshest I've had has been in FL.

Started the sho for the first time in 16 days. :) 

Also I remote started the car with my phone but left the fob in the cup holder and when I open the door this countdown timer popped up in the screen and started beeping faster and faster as the numbers counted down saying car alarm will activate. Hah. Curious as I was I let it get to zero, it shut the car off and started the alarm. It wouldn't shut off either. I pushed the lock button on the fob, pressed the brake and start button, only thing that stopped it was pressing the lock button on the phone app.

It was an exciting experience to say the least haha.
 
Hopefully you did it in a quiet residential area or in a hospital zone ;)  I guess it's a safety feature that the originating device has to shut off the alarm?
 
I think so, what ever started the car is the only one that can deactivate it. Which is good because if someone stole the fob I could keep them from driving off with my car.

I know it's possible to recreate the same signal the fob produces and allow someone to steal the car but I think it would take them a little while. That and it's not exactly worth all that trouble haha.

I'll do it again and take a pic of it.

Oooh...intense moment for sure. Lol

I can imagine the scramble and array of button pushing that took place...as I'd probably be doing the same scramble.

I figure would post a couple of updated work orders related to the front and rear rotors and pads,since Ford always seems to be updating there part #,figured it will help someone from the confusion.Z
 
What are some of you guys using as a paint protectant? Also what about a swirl remover that actually works?

I've spent a few hours on forums reading into products but most have mixed opinions, as with everything.
