I have a 2011 Ford Fusion Sport. Purchased at said dealership 2 months ago.
I took the car in for some warranty work on Monday. The PTU fluid was burnt. They replaced the fluid and wanted to "test" it for a couple days to make sure it was fixed. The technician had apparently been driving the...
Is it just me or do any of you find the 5+ quarts annoying. It is difficult to tell how much oil you are actually putting in the car. I usually poor it in a different container to measure.
How exactly, does the weight of an engine oil increase fuel economy. I mean it's job is to lubricate and most here would say heavier weight oil lubricates better. I know the oil pump would have to work a little harder with heavier weight oil but enough to change fuel economy?

I have been lingering around the forum for a while now. I never see any bad uoa's. It seems that it doesn't really matter what oil I use.
Currently I am using MC syn blend 5w-20 on my 2.3 duratec. I would like to switch to a full synthetic but having a hard time justifying it.
Thinking about switching from a cartridge filter to a spin on filter. I have a 2007 Ford Fusion.

I can't figure out if they have the same flow rate. Anybody have specs for these filters?
The conversion is fairly simple and will make oil changes much easier.
Getting ready to head out on a 2500 mile trip. Currently have 2600 miles on the oil change. I usually like to change around 4k. Should I change oil before I go or give it a fresh change when I return?
