I'm confused

okay, maybe this is correct then.

Ford uses lighter oil for break-in. Ford then uses heavier oil for normal operation starting from 1st oil change. Could this be why people notice a drop in mpg's after the first oil change? and possibly confuse a loss to a reflash? After sending my scmt in and reloading the stock program, I can see a big difference in my mpgs around town. I initially loaded the scmt right after my first oil change and was driving it around until I got tired of the harsh shifting at lower speeds in econ mode.

 

supernewguy-.....Hmmm....could have something here. 750mi on her now so I'll know in about 2500 miles when they change the erl, ha!

 

Is the F-111 with nipple the correct one?

thanks

 

Finally found it. Yep F-111 with nipple (ordered it already). My only concern is no magnet like on standard drain plug. Maybe I should wait and put a few more miles on her. What do you think? i currently have about 4500 miles on the odometer. Also, finally read through the "oil" thread and the oil-guard kind of interested me. I'm not real mechanically inclined and psdwannabe's pics of his install are no longer posted.

 

On my first oil change, I had little fuzz on the magnet on the drain plug. Second oil change, there was a trace. I then put on the fumoto and don't worry about it. I changed at 3600 and 7500 and 11,000.

 

Does anyone worry about getting the lever hit or someone flipping it.
