Yes, let it come down from fast idle and then what I do is go.....somewhat gently for a bit Watch the oil temp. and when it comes up to what your normal is, it's good to go harder. I'm easy on a cold car. Parts, including the oil haven't come up to operating temps. which is what the car is...
Agree 100%. I live in the south and just got back from a 900 mile round trip of mountain two lanes, interstate, urban, you name it and my intake temp. stayed very close to ambient. Ambient was hot too. That is the reason I won't be putting a CAI on my Mustang. I think they're hocus pokus on...
Dealers suing Ford is a good way for dealers to lose a franchise. Just getting a car franchise is difficult to do and they can be difficult to keep. They aren't just handed out. No dealer is going to make it or not make it because of Mustang sales. If Ford quit making Mustangs today, dealers...
My Honda shows actual real time and average on the same screen and I find both to be useful to a point.
I haven’t seen but only an average on my Mustang. It’s useful in a way but I really don’t care what the avg. is running. I’ll drive how I want.
The car will tell you what the intake temp. is running, allegedly real time. Mine usually runs very close to ambient so where does the "cold air" come from?. Another way of asking what you just did ^^^.
My oil life monitor is me. Never had an oil problem. Car makers can do what they want and I'll do what I think is best. That is always sooner than they say to have my oil changed.
I didn't know anyone but idiots drove around town in Track Mode. They deserve what they get but some cops act like they are out to fill quotas (which are illegal).
As you say, all one has to do is push a button and nothing can be proven even if they were in track mode. The right lawyer can...
I have a J&L because I don't want that crap going back into my intake system and back into the engine. Easy to install. It's just peace of mind. It's there, I empty it now and then, I don't worry about it.
No, I can't answer your specific question. My average trip odometer fuel economy number updates pretty often.
I can't answer your question because I didn't even know there was an "actual fuel economy display" different from the trip odometer fuel economy number. How is it accessed to...
I would think that anyone that got a ticket for a stock exhaust system with AE being too loud would have to go up against Ford Motor Company too if the person hired a good attorney to fight the ticket. The odds of this happening are also around zero too I think. A little discretion always...
Recently got back from a 900 mile round trip with a little city, about half Interstate and half mountain two lane twisties. Averaged right at 25 mpg. I had planned on holding off the throttle much more but I didn't. People would not move on the two lanes so I did. Lifetime average is almost...
People need to learn to face it that if they are 1) Having to make high car payments for their budget, they can't afford the car and move on. 2) Most people haven't taken cost accounting and don't understand that the end product is driven by what parts and pieces cost Ford and 3) Nobody in...
The Dragon, which they said they had driven earlier, is definitely not a good place for these cars. Unfortunately, it has become a destination now so a lot more people are getting hurt on it due to under-estimation of what it really is. These cars don't belong on it.
I make a deal with my dealer to let me take my preferred oil (PUP) and filter, bought from Amazon, I stood under the car while the very good tech changed the oil and we talked about things a little. He poured both 5 quart containers into the engine and left a half quart for me to take home...
