i just cant seem to find a strait answer anywhere as to if this will affect the VCT operation. I cant see it i mean any oil at operating temp is thinner then the 5w20 at -40c after only running for a minute.. and they seem to run ok then...
we had a mexican remove the dpf and blow air through it backwards and it seemed to work i think , in fact i think their is a picture of it floating around here somewhere...
we have one customer with a similer setup he always brings his own oil and uses scamsoil 0w30 signature series, lots of hype out there on this oil. Has an API of SM/CF so if it can protect a diesel as well then maybe??
ok would you continue to run 5w20 in an F150 5.4 3v with say 430rwhp and 480tq? I feel this oil wont quite have the shock absorbing capabilities of say a 30wt. Opinions?
BTW this is with 10psi of boost.
is this a 3.5? I had the pleasure of doing this on an Edge. It is possible but not fun. Worst part is the cover does not use a gasket and its really fun trying to get that cover back in place and still have some silicone on it when u finally do...
looks like he stayed out of it to keep the tires from spinning, doesnt look like alot of traction to be had there. Especially with those awesome factory tires!
i hate to say this but....why doesnt ford do the remote starts like GM? FROM THE FACTORY! Just enable it with a scantool and sell the customer a remote...
