I think Ryan just needs a great big hug.

Everyone circle around. Join arms.

Ryan's in the middle.

For being a millennial you are awfully judgmental and degrading. I thought your generation was about acceptance and inclusion and being happy with who you are?

I'm just not gonna sit here and let some 50 some-thing year olds that are bored and wanna sit on the forum all day try to tell me shit.

You go girl.

You guys read and believe everything you see on the internet,

Yes, you are correct. I believe I am talking to an idiot right now.

Yall need to just keep your mouths shut if you don't know what your talking about.

Or what? You're going to call us "boomers" again?

Quoting sales catologues and websites that people can upload whatever they want are not valuable sources of "facts'

Define "valuable"...Or did you mean reputable?

None of that was actually false. Never said it was a BOV I said it was like one and obviously went on to explain that. Literally every time you comment you continue to prove you have some serious mental deficiency or you just don't know how to read. Either way you're wasting everyone's time, i also find it EXTEMELY amusing how you obviously have no life and no job and no friends if you have the time to constantly go back and look for all that stuff

Post 9.

Direct quote from Mr. Selcer about the noisemaker.......

"Its essentially a fake BOV, it was meant to sound like one, which the cars already technically have, theres a recirc line to the turbos that you can cap and you'll end up with a much better sounding and not entirely fake BOV, however the ecoboost uses this recirc for your next shift as the turbos wind down so your gonna hurt your performance a bit."

How can you debunk your own words in what you wrote.

You thought the Noisemaker was a fake BOV. You if you cap the intake and VTA the BOV's it is still a real BOV, "not an entirely fake BOV". I already said why the recirc is there. It was to keep the car quiet, not for performance. If it made such a huge performance gain...no one would VTA their BOVs.

You guys read and believe everything you see on the internet you THINK you know how your cars work but im sure 99% of you barely even know how to turn a wrench, let alone have you ever seen the inside of an engine, and God forbid have you ever actually torn down an engine. Yall need to just keep your mouths shut if you don't know what your talking about. Quoting sales catologues and websites that people can upload whatever they want are not valuable sources of "facts'

So first of all, I'm not a 50 something, I'm 31. I've turned wrenches on every car I've owned from oil changes to LS turbo swaps. On top of that I've been working in the auto industry since I was 16, starting as a detailer, all the way through tech, all the way into the body shop side of things where I am currently as estimator. My knowledge doesn't come from a quick google search but from actual experience and tech information. So when you sit there and throw insults with all that "non-backed up with evidence/experience" information at us, yeah, we're gonna slowly start to get miffed. This community, as awkward and crazy as we are, believe it or not, actually have more knowledge collectively than you do. So while you sit there in your belief that using the an oil that your engine is not designed for is some how smarter than using the type recommended by the people that built the engine, you look like a fool. Hurling insults is usually the first tell of someone who is often insecure about themselves and/or their knowledge and is often wrong.
Now if you want to, feel free to show us evidence that using thinner oil is better than the recommended and won't cause unnecessary harm to the block, or that thicker oil works better in summer and doesn't put additional strain/wear on the rotating parts I'll be more than happy to side with you. Unfortunately, you won't find that, because every oil manufacturer (you know, they guys that make the oil) specifically warn against doing exactly what you're doing.

You are hung up on the block heater. I was saying if you need one, you can equip one on your SHO. You are right, they dont come stock with them in colder climates....because oil technology is so much better, you don't need a WINTER OIL WEIGHT change.

Never hear of the saying "ignorance is bliss" you must be a boomer too

I'm Gen X, actually. And, I think what I posted is spot on.

Also I don't say to use thicker in the winter and thinner in the summer. That's the exact opposite of what I was saying if you would go back and actually read it. But that SM105 guy kept spewing shit about thicker oil in the winter and I got mad at him and accidentally said thinner oil in the summer like one time and now all you guys are trying to latch onto that instead of actually just reading. I specifically said DONT USE thinner oil in the summer. I will go back and quote that since you guys are so ******* slow.

Well said [mention]GotGrip? [/mention] in fact I’m also not 50 something. At 34 years old I have been doing engine swaps transmission swaps and wrenching on everything from dirt bikes to muscle cars to side by sides for the better part of 20 years.

Got Grip, you basically said the same thing I did about oil, but I am still the idiot. Lol.

Also work is extremely slow for me. That is why I post mostly during the day. I have a full schedule as well.

35 here, I have numerous posts about me wrenching on everything from Superbikes to Twin Turbo LS Camaros, to Nitrous Mustangs.

Clearly you do have time to read it. You're on here commenting and reading just as often as the people you claim have "no life, no job and no friends". Sorry you're upset and insecure, please join the group hug and the top of the 5th page.

 

[Ryan Selcer]

What is your location? I've learned over the years to use OM as a guideline but go for usage. I live in CO so in the winter it gets real cold and 5w-30 gets real thick so I use 5w-20 in the winter, in the summer I drive my cars really ****** hard and its gonna get really hot, so in the old days you would use a thicker oil, however, the synthetics these days really don't ever break down, the only reason you replace them is cause they're dirty, youll see some fleet vehicles for ford and mercedes have like 20 and 30k mile oil changes

2010 SHO PP, axle back exhaust, 3 bar MAP, upgraded thermostat, iTSX tuner, 20" summer rims

For all you morons that want to listen to 105 and his lies. I did not say to put thinner oil in the summer and thicker in the winter. THIS is what I said.

Dude... you literally must be ********. You havent debunked anything at any point in time, you came up in here with your opinions and tried to back them up with what you claim are "facts" that literally every single one comes from a totally unreliable source. Then you bash me for not citing sources, you literally are doing the same thing because your sources are worthless. You posted a few things from the owners manual and from ford that actually supported me then your ******* thought you were supporting yourself

2010 SHO PP, axle back exhaust, 3 bar MAP, upgraded thermostat, iTSX tuner, 20" summer rims

Let's elevate both the quality of the language and the tone. "********" is a word from the Boomer generation that we really don't use any more, for obvious reasons. "Morons" is just plain hostile.
How about this: let's all just go grab a beer and plan our next mod? I have some Rescue Red in my growler that'll go down rather nicely today (https://lrbbrewers.com).
Cheers,
Sean

I'm fine with that as long as 105 will just **** off with his ******** and stop trying to claim that Wikipedia and sales catalogues are "facts"

I second this about slow work.

Okay, if I may......I was just wondering what Ford intended we put in the engine.

The choices were 5w-20 or 5w-30. It's not like the choices were 5w-20 or 75w-140. I'm not sure there's really THAT much difference between the two choices (5w-20 & 5w-30); I was just wondering which one Ford WANTED us to use, since they seem to contradict themselves between the owners manual and the oil cap.

Sounds like the consensus is to use what's stated on the oil cap. I'm good with that...

Yes, use what's on the oil cap year round.
