So Ford can only meet their own requirement with their own product by requiring use of their synthetic?

My diesel ownership taught me a lot about the value of following their requirements.

Live in interior of bc. Work in Conklin Alberta. Just south of the Mac.

Sure lets have a few beers. I'm no stranger to that.


My transmission sounded horrible this last time. Made a buzzing sound. It all happened quickly so nothing really to add.

There is a world of difference between a full synthetic and a synthetic blend. An oil company can add a teaspoon of synthetic to a quart of Dino and sell it as a synthetic blend. It's a meaningless distinction between Dino and synthetic blend.

GhostintheMachine,

You're welcome! I'm glad to see things moving along for you. I'll keep my eye on this thread.

I wasn't taking it that way, Al Kohalic! Just wanted you to know that I'm here to help.

traveling that 63 has to be a pretty boring run.

i am from kamloops originally, live in drayton valley.

work as a loader operator. got the job just after i got my class 1. so no experience on the drivers license, but gaining experience on rock truck, 972H cat loader and bouncing around on bobcat from time to time.

always got weekends off.

I don't do the 63. I drive the killer 881. I take some back roads up to La Biche so it's not that boring.

I do a 14-7 shift. I don't get weekends anymore.

If you ever wanna find another job look me up. I know a few owners.
