Well normally I use a Baldwin B2 filter... I bought a case of 12 and only used one BUT somebody moved that damn box and those filters are MIA! Had to go buy a filter from my friendly parts house. $4.90 vs O'Reillys $11+ price tag! I like the larger filter capacity. I just bought a filter cutter...

Yes I have the FX4 deal.... and that cover qualfies as a skid plate. Feels like about 14 ga steel... I'll have to find my steel gauge that I use to measure steel thickness. Speaking of that skid plate... I asked my wife to come out to my shop and give me a hand with this oil change. She is the...

Still a pain with that skid plate...

Or, as my ex gf asked... " Dude... where's my bra?"

I have wasted too much $$ on aftermarket headlights to do that again. Poor design, cheap components that don't last... no thanks. The last set I bought were unaimable... great for spotting squirrels in the the trees but unusable.

Huh? No joking here ... and I don't sweat the fuel mileage its just the cost of ownership

I usually don't really pay attention to fuel economy since there is not much you can do about it. But my 2.0 will do 35mpg+ if I keep it at or under 65 mph (which I rarely do). Last night, on a fresh tank of Union 76 91 octane I got 35.8 on a 50 mile highway trip to Home Depot.

Front seat is my biggest gripe... hard as a rock IMHO

I drove a Peterbilt with a 260" wheelbase and pulled a 53' trailer... the Maverick spins like a top compared to that. I couls have adjusted the steering stops on the spindles but that kills tire wear... the tighter the turning radius the more rubber is scrubbed from the tires. Next we will...

Yeah I didn't think so... and it was only $600!!!! For a couple hour discussion. Am I missing something? https://www2.eoilreports.com/e/8822/register-4936450314089036887/95t6h3/1717019939/h/azFWErvxj8f4XKB3xZYF6x39Lb9Gfh_pB9XhgMDHcbY

My EB gets about 2 mpg bump when I use 91 octane on the highway. And a significant increase in performance,too. I never thought I would say that...

54981 800 miles since I added oil and it is still on the full mark.

Perhaps the formula has changed since '81? And clean valve heads and combustion chambers are a bad thing?

@$6 per bottle every 3-4,000 miles it will help keeps the intake valves clean. Chevron chemists invented the amine chemical specifically to work on GDI engines. Cheap insurance. And you don't have to question my maintenance upkeep... likely better than 99% of most here.

A case of Techron fuel system cleaner and the Votex drain plug I ordered.

I ordered a Vortex drain plug deal yesterday... maybe 700 miles to my next oil change. I plan on cutting an access hole in the steel skid plate to allow better access to the drain plug and earl filter. Stay tuned...

Never broke but it was a $25 car!

Does the 2.0 EB use a 12mm x 1.75 thread on the drain plug? Getting ready for an oil change and zi want to buy one of those fancy drain plugs that used a hose to drain the oil. I plan on cutting a couple holes in the steel skid plate to facilitate future drains.

If they ban everything we will be back in caves

I like chrome...
