Your friend should get his oil changes at the Ford dealer for the life of the truck. And if the dealer doesn't use the right Ford spec'd oil, report him.

I would say that if you think the dealer pulled that stunt it's a sign that you should go somewhere else for service. Maybe it's time for a hidden camera and a return trip by someone with a vehicle in known condition.

If the storms hold together we hit today everyone's going to have a full week of it. Heavy snow in the Rockies and hit 3 or 4 rather strong storms every 100 or so miles till we got to Ely, NV. Be safe everyone!

There was a thread on RLI lubricants that were very resistant to the effects of fuel dilution is an Audi. There was a lot of analysis work done by someone named Terry Dyson in Texas. http://www.renewablelube.com/

Which style would work better for me? The first one is from McMaster-Carr the other one is from Autozone. I will have to find the correct size first though.

Watch the filter for for leaks for 100 or 200 miles. If it doesn't leak you're good to go.

For keurigs I recommend mainly going with dark or extra dark roasts since anything light or medium is just too weak with these brewers. Just my opinion.
