I now appreciate the excitement over the free oil. Received a pennzoil email about the new rebates. Checked Walmart on line for 5w20 ultra and saw the - no longer available. Earlier this year I found a jug at the Walmart in Ardmore OK. Recently I found one jug in Irving TX. Checking on line I...

You've changed the oil and it purrs. Don't use any cleaners now. Clean then change the oil. Perfect time to trade in or start looking for cheap catalytic converter. We here have no idea of her age, monetary condition, vehicle desire, and etc. seems like you answered your question.

Thanks callbay. While my post may have seemed severe, a better vehicle, one that can go a year and a couple of thousand miles a year without maintenance or repairs might be best for the op and sister in law.

What a loaded question from a long timer. You're retired. She's your sister in law. 2008 jk with less than 30k miles. Four by or rwd. You've searched jeep forums. You know it's a known issue. Did she buy it new or used. At altitude, short trips, and thick oil. Fix the 3.8 or trade it in...

Like snoman's post. Made a temporary, cheap catch bottle for a diesel kj. Dodge dealer sold an aftermarket aluminum catch can for the hemi owners. 50k miles on an I-5 H3 and pools of oil in the plastic intake in separated puddles because of the plastic webbing. Why did the manufacturers stop...

Congratulations. We bought a 2014 S and love it. Just like we loved our 2002 SE Focus Wagon. Changed the oil to PP just under 4K miles and used the motorcraft filter. Over 9k miles now and still a joy.

Eyes but don't see. Did you search for that beautiful 2002 Focus SE Wagon. That was ours given to a relative in 2005. If you asked I could've told you everything you wanted to know. Welcome to Bitog - tired_old_dave. You're welcome. My how this forum has changed the last ten years.

You're right my second post on Bitog sounds crazy. Vehicles thread caused me to join after just reading here for at least nine years. It was the juxtaposition of events about focus vehicles and our fond memories for our focus wagon then trading in our H3 for a base escape. New vehicle and...

Don't laugh. Last year traded in my rubicon for better-half's GX460. Based on - is tgmo made in heaven - using it. Test drove an escape s only add ford solar tint already applied for an opinion for someone else. Traded in Blue Beauty (2006 H3-couldn't rotate tires-what guy pushes Constar for a...

First, I want to thank everyone who has supported this site. I have lurked here I believe at least nine years. Decided yesterday to check out more forums here and found this focus enthusiasm. We owned a focus wagon and while testing a base escape to provide our opinion to someone, we ended up...
