Mine was also like that. I was able to massage it back into easily with a plastic interior tool. Once it got into place you could tell because the rubber relaxed.
Break in oil change completed. The underside cover screws and push pins all came out in one piece.The factory oil filter is 3/4 inch shorter than Motocraft FL500S. I used 10 quarts of the Full Synthetic 5W30 Motocraft oil. The 1st photo of the dipstick is with 10 quarts of new oil cold. The 2nd...
The challenging part of the install is to create an area that is user friendly to mount the switches. I had to secure a wood block with zip ties to shim the block up a little bit so the switches could be mounted to the 3 way that is mounted to the wood shim block. I even had to router out part...
Your Magnets must be pretty strong. Looks very functional. My LED light strip has double sticky tape already installed on the back side of the light strip which made installation really easy.
Installed two 14' long LED light strips on my Wildfire 4 post lift. Had to put the wires, electrical chord and switches in areas that can be permanent and user friendly. Also made an accommodation to plug my battery tender in when it's on the top of the lift. Amazon sells these lights in many...
When I was in my teens I remember stripping the threads in my oil pan of my 73 Plymouth Fury. Went down to the auto parts store and they sold me a self tapping oil pan bolt made to fix the problem. He told me that if I strip it out again that he has one more size up bolt to correct the problem...
The specified Motocraft 5W30. However I'm going to use the full synthetic instead of the blend and OEM specified FL500S oil filter. Got it free using some of my rewards points.
You could measure how many quarts come out. When I do my DIY oil change I always put the oil in 1 gallon milk jugs and it gets picked up during our curbside recycling. I will record how much drains out of mine. I'm curious now.
Yes it has. I have checked it a couple times. If I recall it measures a little bit higher after driving it. I plan on warming the engine up prior to my DIY oil change. At that time I will check my dip stick and grab a photo before draining the oil so I have a bench mark of where things were...
My new 2024 GT has 1000 miles on it. 3 months old now. Just checked the oil after it sat cold all night. The dip stick shows 1/2 way on the cross hatches.
