Thanks. That's a nice tool that'll save many a lot of grief.

Does it then eventually fix itself? How fixed the first time? How long (in days) was the car resting before this update? Do you suspect the battery was low and something happened?

With general tools and sensible steps, you shouldn't have to worry about the vinyl becoming damaged. I've had similar decals on my hood for three years: they look as good as when new. A simple mitt, good soap and modest pressure works well. One step I take I see some people do and many don't...

It should have. The funnel is kind of hidden in the S550. I suspect it's in the same place in the S650. If you cannot find one, go to local parts store or order one on-line. Edit, To the uninitiated, the capless system used by Ford has two flaps in the immediate vicinity of the filler neck...

I store my vehicle during the Winter months and use Stabil, the one marked "storage" in the pink bottle. At the station, with the small white funnel (found in your trunk) inserted, empty the bottle of Stabil into the tank. Remove funnel. Fill the tank with gas. Drive home, about 10-15 minutes...

Yes. The main chassis ground, near the shock tower; this allows BMS to capture the current flow from the tender and ultimately to the battery. The other lead, the "+", is attached to the fuse panel. Attaching here allows for clean runs and lessens the chance of any entanglements. Here's one...

Those are some topics I should clarify. I have a 6G car with a manual trans. As mentioned earlier, one concern is the pads sticking, especially after detailing like a lot of us do for storage prep. To help prevent that any time of year, I do a slow parade lap around the block before parking...

I've noticed that in my car since purchase and consider it normal. IMO, load shedding and/or battery preservation in Fords can happen two ways: I've seen that, connected to a tender or not, my car will alert me to sleep mode at about the two week mark. Consistently. Always has. This aligns...

I'd think so. In the variable of time (one year), I'd say no, it would not be different. But with respect to engine operation, I could see some differences, the algorithm being tailored to that engine. The engineers at Ford built the OLM. With a stock car, I think it works fine. But... -...

Stickers like this are associated with a product made in the tens of thousands or greater, changing hands several times, with a lifespan of up to 20 years plus. The placard references topics involving emissions, roadworthiness, safety and maintenance standards. I realize these things can...

I've never checked the draw when starting, but some engines could take as much as 200A of current to spin over. Once running, the alternator assumes the load (ever higher in modern vehicles) and charges the battery. But at four miles and ten minutes, that's not a lot of time. When I was...

It depends. The Oil Life Monitor works in two ways: - Time. The counter ticks down 1.97% each week, even if the car is sitting. This is to ensure the owner is reminded of an oil change once a year, with an anticipated 10,000 mi / 16,000 km service interval - Operation. Given driving duration...

I follow the Oil Life Monitor, which works in two ways: - Time. The counter ticks down 1.97% each week, even if the car is sitting. This is to ensure the owner is reminded of an oil change once a year, with an anticipated 10,000 mi / 16,000 km service interval - Operation. Given driving...

Whatever your selection, you can also read up on and look into shops which install ceramic tint. The material can be purchased in differing ratings, from limo tint to something that appears factory. A key feature in all of them is the blocking of UV rays. Some installers use heat lamps in...

I realize it will be more expensive, but a dealer could be your best choice. Not only will you receive a genuine OEM screen, they'll have experience in how to install it and calibrate the electronics.

If anyone can attach a sound clip of the whine, that'd be great. The Coyote does have several characteristic ticks and rattles, but not a whine. - BBQ tick. At idle, often from underneath the car, there can be a random ticking sound, like someone trying to start a BBQ grill. Ford says it is...

Unfortunate. But not unique to any brand of dealer now. Some customers do have great experiences and relationships. Others, it's something less than expected. We've had a few threads of oil changes by dealers with oil levels later found low. Or other weirdness. It often comes down to a lack of...

If at all possible, stay away from the Quickie Lube places. The quality never meets expectations. If you cannot change it yourself, go to the dealer, a speed shop, independent, etc. It reads like the oil level was fine the day of the oil change, but low two weeks later it was lower, with the...

Grinding in never normal, any transmission, any mileage or age. Yes, I'd return to dealer. Replicate the problem on a test drive with the technician. If you've been consistently experiencing the issue for 1000 mi / 1600 km, as they are fixing the root cause, I'd ask them to drain and replace...
