Changed my oil today..............

[Robert McMillan]

I have a 2015 Expedition Limited 4x4.

Why would you instal new, colder spark plugs in your engine?

I’m running e30 performance tune

I had a Variable Cam Timing and sludge issue on my 2010 Expedition at around 120,000 miles. A Ford Technician told me that it turns out that everywhere else in the world that Ford sells this engine, they recommend using 5W-30 motor oil. But in the US, to meet emission standards, they recommend 5W-20 oil. So now for oil changes, I use a FRAM Tough Guard TG2, 15K Mile Change Interval Spin-On Oil Filter and Valvoline Advanced Full Synthetic 5W-30 Motor Oil. It runs great and no issues. I also recommend using 2 11oz cans of Bg109 Bg EPR Engine Performance Restoration every now and then when you hit higher mileage like 100,000+.

Here's the real deal. USA brass made and machined, nothing to catch and open by mistake or get ripped off. Forget that Chinese garbage.

I think its "cheap" Japanese brass. As far as it catching and opening by mistake,(especially on an Expedition) it would take quite a feat, to pull the plastic locking piece off, then pull the metal lever, then turn said lever.

As far as them being for wimps, the following is a small list of wimpy companies.

To each his own, have fun and be safe out there.

The only thing I agree with here is the oil.

Catching on something is not the issue. For me; I don't want to watch the oil drain for 10 minutes when I could have easily removed the plug in 10 seconds with my 5/8" wrench. It does sound awfully wimpy and lazy and not to mention a waste of money. It reminds me of having a conveyer belt put in to take you out to your car ...........lol.
