Geeze, my first ride on my new rig and it got absolutely destroyed. It was mostly dry or i wouldn't of ridden. 24 miles and about 10 mud holes. Now i need an intense clean. Drive train isn't so bad but it's just completely covered in mud. First time with discs and am more conscious with...

I was thinking about buying one of these because of the reviews. The size and relative ease of use (putting on and removing) is very appealing. A little worried about my 33 pound mountain bike being on there. Anyone have any experience with these? https://www.seasucker.com/collections/bike

Someone here pointed out a great deal on Amazon for tires. Anyone else bought there and can share their experience? I think it's interesting they are now offering to send your tires to an installer like tire rack does. If you buy from Amazon, would it only be the tire manufacture's warranty on...

Well, I had been away from the mountain bike game since 2012. Over the past couple of years, I've been riding my single speed road commuter bike around town and even on longer distant rides. However, I've been dying to get back on the trails. Saturday, I scored a new 2017 27.5 Giant Anthem 3 for...

I've got a 2017 Fusion with AWD with almost 45k on the OE Eagle LS2's. I didn't like them stock tires at all so I am switching it up. I've done my research and I've narrowed it down to 4. I am in the Chicago area so snow and cold temps are a concern. If I had the space I would buy a set off snow...

Changed out my Fram CA11480 and replaced with another. My Fusion had about 16k on the filter. A little dirty but not bad. It had been a year since I last changed it.

I have a 2017 Fusion that is kept outside. I was thinking of using a clay bar kit before waxing it. I've never done it before so I want something easy to use and close to fool proof. Anyone have any recommendations?

So I have always been one of those to get computers and extend their life by upgrading them when it becomes cost effective to do so. Maxing out ram, processor, replacing hd with better one, and upgrading OS. Now I've done this 3 times with intel based laptops over the years. I have a 7th gen i5...

Need some oil and filter recommendations to help a friend out. He's got a 2011 A4 2.0 turbo with 30,000 miles. I would say that 80% of his driving is short 10-20 minutes drives of city driving. I am little nervous to make recommendations because of what I've seen about these engines and sludge...

So a couple of my wheels on my Fusion have very slight bends. I have a very slight vibration at highway speeds and thought I would replace with the stock ones. At almost 400 per wheel at the dealer and 300 per wheel remanufactured, I am thinking about moving away from my stock wheels. The...

Looking for replacement lug nuts for my Fusion. The stock ones are garbage and are starting to deform. I didn't realize there were so many variables for them. Anyhow, which manufacture makes quality lug nuts? I am not going to use Ford replacements. I've read a few good things about Gorilla. I...

I have had this car for a 1.5 years, only had Motorcraft (both FS/SB) and Castrol Magnatec 5w-30 in it. I used the Dexos 1 generation 1 formulation of the Castrol with fram ultra oil filter. I will be making the switch to Dexos 1 Gen 2 next oil change. This is my second UOA with the Castrol. My...

After years of not having a space to do things, I finally have access to a garage. I'm a relative noob when it comes to wrenching on my car. I mean, I can do the basics oil change, tire rotation, etc...the basics. Probably the most I've done myself was changing the plugs and also taking off...

Searched and search on this, and came up with gigantic thread after thread referencing links that no longer are active. Pennzoil documentation doesn't explicitly say Gen 2 (could be either or). So I ask the experts here, is it or is it not Dexos Gen 2? Reason I ask is Walmart is having a sale...

I am looking for replacement tires for my Fusion. While expensive, I've decided on Michelin Primacy MXM4 tires in my stock 235 /45 R18 size. However, there are two choices for the same tire with a few small variations. While I am aware that some OE tires have unique compounds, for the specific...

I have a 2.0l ecoboost in my Fusion. I've had a couple of different oils in it so far, Motorcraft FS 5W-30 and Castrol Magnatec 5W-30 FS. Did a UOA with the Magnatec at 6000 and it was pretty good (low fuel, sheered to 20) but probably wouldn't push it much further than that. I'd like to just...

Recently, after changing my oil in my Ford Fusion a buddy of mine said my oil was low. I assured him it wasn't. The owners manual said 5.7 quarts (with the filter). I ended up putting in 6. After measuring several times in a few different days, it's just above the crosshatched section of the...

In reading about LSPI, there are a lot of references to potential engine damage. Does this happen outside of the testing laboratory? I am on a lot of boards (mostly Ford and Ecoboost) and haven't heard of any blown engines. Although there is a lot of talk about LSPI on Ecoboost engines. I am...

I have a 2017 Lincoln MKZ 3.0T (Lincoln doesn't want you to say Ecoboost anymore). I bought it used CPO with 35k on the clock and am certain that it has been maintained with Motorcraft 5-30 partial synthetic blend. I am looking to do my first oil change soon and I thought I would check with the...
