First results: factory fill was pulled out at 1200 miles. Currently using Valvoline 5W-30; it will be changed and analyzed after 5,000 miles. I'll keep updating as I go.

Kinda like the German Castrol back in the day. Great stuff, and on the high end of "thick" 30.

It looks like a fantastic deal. I’m eager to find out if it improves stopping power. However, I’m not really interested in the $6000 kits, lol.

I used to do it frequently, but now it's more hit and miss. Yes, some 30W oils have lower viscosity than others, but Platinum is a very good oil, and I think the reaction was an overreaction. Still, it's about peace of mind. My local tire, brake, and repair shop, where I get my oil changes...

If you go with ZFG or Goose, just tell them you're looking for a daily driver. I submitted my stuff to ZFG this morning. I always use 93 octane in EcoBoosts, so I told them I want a 93 tune, daily driver setup, no drag racing or crazy mods, and I want to see the transmission gear selector all...

Subbing. I've seen some machined wheels so far that look good, and someone used bronze Velgens, which was pretty neat too. Also, there is a pics thread here—you might find some you like in there. Not a fan of black...

I like that stance. I'm still on the fence about lowering... I really like the Velgen 22" wheels, so I am thinking maybe a 22x10 with wider Continental or Michelin summer tires first.

That sucks. Happened with my 2019 Edge ST. But I do love this 2025 Explorer.

It's one of my favorites. I do like the pearl white too, shows dirt worse. My Mustang was a PP2 with Need for Green, and it was an eye catcher. When Ford came out with Eruption Green, I was like, "yes."

BTW, I've found that if you wash that Ford metallic silver once or twice a week, keep it coated and spray wax it every 1-2 weeks, it stays looking wet(like your photo) most all of the time. One reason I love it.

I like the Bronze/Carbon, now you have me thinking.

Bought the same color. Like that it matches the wheels, and looks great with the dark tint I added and the low front visor piece. Had a similar color on my F150, and its low maintenance. And yes, love driving this thing so far.

Money sent.

Thanks. Very cool.

If it fits my 2025 ST and no one has dibs, I'll take it.

Did not even know this was a thing, thanks. Found this BTW: To reset the battery monitor on any Ford product: 1. Make sure all windows & doors are closed. 2. Turn ignition switch to on (don't start car). Wait 10 seconds. 3. Flash highbeams 5 times using the "flash to pass" stalk on the side...

Usually, it’s the battery—but that’s way too early for one to fail. Have a parts store do a quick test just to be sure. If it’s not the battery, it might be warranty time. I’m assuming it’s still covered under 12k miles, right? Those AGMs are great, but they seem to die early or last forever—no...

Um, sure, that's still not the correct answer. When you order something, whether custom or not, the person selling it to you should offer a reliable timeframe; if they cannot, they need to do better. Double the lead time of what was given, IF TRUE, is not cool. OP sent money expecting a month...

And as I said, I'm not saying that's the case. But if you order something, and the guy says 3 weeks, and at 7 you don't have shit, it's a problem. I couldn't care less that everyone calls him by his first name, that doesn't mean anything. People are reliable, until they aren't. I'd like to hear...

I feel, all things being accurate, 3-4 weeks isn't 7 weeks. So I'd expect someone to be pissed. We've all seen/read about the forum favorite part shop that one day goes tits up and people get screwed. Not saying that's the case, but paranoia can set it in. Or there is the situation where you had...
