No Whitey. That was for some Subie's in the shop. I have 5w20 Motorcraft from the factory and used it at the 500 mile change. I will be using Amazon basic on this coming oil change in 5w20 with a Motorcraft FL820S of course.

Oh, alright. I just didn't know if Ford sent literature regarding a change, or if it belonged to something else..... looks like the latter.

Thanks for the clarification!

Also there was a tag saying that they must have the correct PCV valve or the warranty would be voided.
AK, any chance you can post the sheet? I'd like to see what you mean by weird stuff.

I was just looking on the USGS site for seismic activity in the area since last week. It has been pretty active! I highlighted my commute route to show how close I was to the epicenter (light blue), just an hour before. I thought the train tracks might have got messed up, but I've seen a few trains on the track there since then. Maybe they fixed it already.... it is private land, owned by Kennecott/Rio Tinto, so pretty much anything that happens there is hush hush anyway.

Well crap... here we are again - a 3.3, then a 3.0 nine minutes later. Epicenter was much closer to me this time, but not nearly as much movement.

I know I've been quiet. I had to go visit the surgeon again yesterday and have an ultrasound done. Turns out this uncomfortable pressure I've been feeling is hernia 2.0 and I cant have any surgery until either the covid 19 virus wanes or my situation becomes more serious. So for the second time in three months I'm looking at more down time. So I'm not exactly all kinds of excited. Lol

Im working from home full time while also trying to wrangle my 1.5 yr old by myself. Wife is working 70-80hrs a week at the hospital (typical resident life just extra stressful during the current pandemic) so my days are nothing but a blur lol.

Sorry to hear this JP. I see the tv ad for lawyers about the hernia mesh problems. Hope you didn't go through that too. Good to see the lol though.
