I got to say the wheel and tire section is great. Great pics and very informative. Good job to those guys.

Definitely interested. Need to get more performance oriented people on this site. Products and testing. My raptor site is very gearhead related. This site the major focus is mudflaps , hideous glue on body parts, and color of lug nuts, floor mats etc.

You don't use wrenches. No reason to hold the shaft. Hit it with an air impact . Spins right off. Easy peasy.

Pretty much. Sums it up. No damage from considerably thicker oil.

Since my amg Mercedes says 5/40 oil this german manufactured engine must be very loose tolerances. So the performance version Mercedes is low tolerance assembled engine if you believe what has been posted on this thread. I Do not buy the theory.

Wow the expert in a laboratory setting says "5/20 vs thick showed dramatic increase in wear". Wow who wants to call this lab guy a liar.

Back to work, Have a great day

Because the actual thermostat is the fan. It controls the temperature of the engine. Not The mechanical device. You can get stuck on the physical thermostat all you want. Now you're just being argumentative. I love this I litigate a courtroom all day not driving the amazon truck.

Okay I'll give you that. But what difference does it make when the thermostat opens if the fan doesn't turn on till 205 and 212 degrees. Thermostat means nothing. Fans cool the coolant not a thermostat. If the vehicle is not in motion there is no air flow over the radiator until a minimum of two...

The original post on this was regarding thicker oil in a high temperature environment. Not a cool environment. Is correct me if i'm wrong. That was This question Of discussion.

Then why does my scanner correlate to those temperatures. It's from Snap on and highly regarded as high quality.

Wow the hybrid definitely runs cooler. No forced induction. No turbo to heat the oil. I can see that the 5/20 oil Would be sufficient at those temperatures.

I did not know a scanner Was manufactured to be able to tell you When a thermostat opens. Being that it is a mechanical device. I've never seen a thermostat with an electronic monitoring system. Please correct me if I am wrong. My scanner only tells me when the fans come on.

Okay to answer your question plugged in the scanner. Low speed fan turns on at 205 High speed fan at two twelve. Those are the factory settings 2024 eco awd 4k tow package

Just checked my data logs. Temperature has been as high as two hundred and twenty six degrees. My wife's maverick has the 4 k towing with the extra cooling. We have never towed with it. That was with the engine with 9 thousand miles on odometer.

I don't know about that. My snap on solus scanner says Consistently says Is two hundred and eleven degrees. It's very accurate high end scanner. Does yours say differently?

Well I don't think helicopters were ever mandated CAFE standards for fuel mileage. That is why thinner oils were developed to improve mandated fleet milage. Correct me if I'm wrong. Don't trust ford with the engineering statement with the high failure rate of hybrid engines. Why did ford recall...

Tells you something right there.

That is absolutely false. Engine clearances are not tighter. Engines run over 210degree thermostats. Vs 180 to 190 twenty years ago. The must have built my amg 53 hand built signatured. Engine very loose it says 5/40 turbo 6 cylinder. My raptor and my wife's escalade and her maverick. Get...
