It’s the shocks needing to be rebuilt. Stiff ride is the first thing you notice after about 40k or so. Spent a good amount of time talking to Fox about this. As the seals wear and the oil breaks down ( Fox told me the oil emulsifies as wear occurs). This can also cause the solenoids to buzz as...
Finally got my Alcons installed. My Raptor is a 2020 so I installed the electronic brake kit from Alcon which is upgraded rotors and pads that reuse factory rear calipers. I also had crown stainless lines including on the rear axle (six brake lines in total). Once the pads were bedded, these...
Eric,
I’m really sorry, but I still don’t think you understand SAE viscosity ratings or how VIs are used. The multigrade weight is not indicative of how much or how little is used.
5W-30 does not act like an SAE 5 when cold and but it is a SAE 30 at 212F.
Its two completely different tests...
This is not totally true. Lower quality synthetics use tons of VI to get to the Target viscosity. The more VI used, the more it will thin out of original spec through driving cycles between oil changes no matter the brand. mPAO has a better Viscocity Index (vs POA base oil) and maintains its...
Stop calling me Richard! Lol
This oil does not meet those specs. It was Blended to work great in Coyote engines. This oil even has a mill spec additive to keep engine internals pristine during storage. Call them and ask them about running this in a street driven vehicle.
I’m not trying to be a Richard, but the words “street-performance” are in the link. I thing the name of the company “Driven Racing Oil” may have confused you. Take Care.
This is 100% a street oil. This is not a racing oil. API or SN is a standard. The Ford spec WHC for 5W-50 was for low zinc content.
You are correct “kinda” about racing oils though. You should never run them as a street oil. The additive packages are not designed to last for multiple heat...
I would recommend driven FR50 for any Coyote engine (Predator as well). The base oil is mPAO vs PAO. This means it maintains Viscosity (VI) over the hundreds of heat cycles/duty cycle. The VI of Driven is due to the base oil and not by adding tons of viscosity improvers that all other 5w-50s...
SVT has been gone for a long time. I think the OP’s complaint is at best, a cheap shot. This complaint is nonsensical. Ford will not care and shouldn’t. It also shows a complete understanding of how businesses run and change over time. Boo to you.
