I ordered a J&L catch can in black for the passenger side. I picked it up from American Muscle since I live in California and nobody else would ship me one.
I envy those of you who live in locations where you can get an oil change for $50 or $60 bucks. If you live in the wonderful state of California and especially the Bay Area, you're going to pay $150 plus. I think my local dealer 5 miles away from my house charges about $180 out the door.
It's...

That's all helpful info. I would do the Steeda jack rails but I am not going to cut the underbody covering on the car. The pads make more sense for my application. The bag method is something that I saw on youtube. We get pizza once a month so I can throw a box or two down in the...
I'm still about 400 miles away from the first change. I've been removing the full underbody engine covers on my LGT and STI for the last 2 decades, every 3k. So whatever Ford has going will be different but not anything new for me. With the exception of the oil filter. On Subaru EJ motors...
Just an update. I finally got around to opening my RockAuto shipment. I ordered three cases of Motorcraft 5w30 and I got three cases of the new SQ. 🙂... So if anybody wants Ford's latest brew, that's a great place to get it.
I don't trust the dealer. Maybe partially but no one's going to treat your car as good as you will. Like others I like being under my car to see what's going on. Periodic visual inspections go a long ways to maintaining your vehicle. Oil changes are not a big deal. Ramps or jacks and a...
Greetings,
Are there any other mounting options like a blend mount? I was a multi-decade suction cup mount user (radar detectors). They leave marks on the windshield, even if keep everything clean and move them periodically. Suction cup mounts also make it difficult to use sun shades...
In addition, inspect the belt, and check the deflection. I believe the AC belt is stretch fit. If it was installed improperly, it could get damaged. It should have about 1/2 in of deflection.
@Lou G,
Indeed we have. I mentioned it (easy out) right before you did. So we are both of the same mindset 😃, but it sounds like it's above the OPs comfort level.
Cheers,
If you're actually going to get a tune, this is the best advice. The intakes on the s650 are very good stock. I went with clear air box lids for aesthetics. The Corsa covers are nice but they have obnoxious badging. They were my second choice. The roush lids are nice but the windows are...
Thanks @DarkMatterGrey,
I've got a single piece engine cover, no access door. I think it's 7 bolts and 3 push-pins. I've already sourced them on Amazon and am going to order a pack of spares. I have filters and am ready to do the bag method for no drips. I've got ramps, stands, jacks and...
@MustangMitch69 makes the most valid points. The HP output of the SC means virtually nothing in comparison to the GTD, or even the 760 HP of the shelby. Even if the SC matched the 815 HP of the GTD, it still wouldn't be as light, have the active push-rod suspension from multimatic, the aero...
I just purchased 3 cases from RockAuto.
They said it's currently subject to a short delay. That's fine with me. If they send me SP that's fine. If they send me SQ that's ok too.
What's in my car now? No idea. New car... If I know Ford it's probably semi-synthetic. Moving forward it's...
