I saw that garage and at first assumed it was yours. Yeah, so nice when you have a lift, OR have a buddy who has one. Makes most of the work we do on cars so much easier.
I wish. I have a decent sized garage but not big enough for a lift. Next house a garage like that is a requirement.

I've had my motorcraft battery in my car for at least 8 years. Always on a trickle charger. However, this battery came out of my 90 coupe. I believe it's 3-4 years old.

I've thought about swapping them out. Motorcraft is 540cca and this is 580cca.

I took this battery out of the 90 coupe for a higher CCA battery.

10w30, you're a baller

For whatever reason Amsoil only make the Z-Rod oil in 10w30 and 20w50. I like the Z-Rod because it has higher Zinc content and has rust and corrosion inhibitors for added protection during long-term storage. I use the Signature Series oil in my business vehicles on 25000 mile oil change intervals, good stuff!

25000 or 2500?
25000 sounds like a lot of miles between oil changes!
Thanks

Is that your current setup in your sig? May be worth trying myself if I ever get to run the car hard again.

Just got some ethanol from a different station, since my other place took pumps out. Still winter blend, but at least it's e70.

Other stuff didn't seem as cloudy as this.

25,000 miles or 40,000km since I'm Canadian. I've been doing it for 15+ years, never had an engine failure. Keep in mind though these are commercial vehicles so 40k can go by in 2 months. Here's my current highest mileage vehicle, a 2014 Honda Odyssey. The photo is from a while ago so it's now just under 800k. Still on the original, unopened engine and trans. 40k oil changes since new.

Yes, everything listed is current. I was using Amsoil Racing Oil a couple years ago but I learned it should only be used in engines that get an oil change after every race.

I've seen it all ways depending on the town in Texas I was testing......clear/clear, clear/cloudy, and down in Corpus it was a beautiful golden/clear. The bottom line is.....where is that dividing point. Every station in Texas has read pretty much between 85-90%. I think different ethanol refiners use slightly different formulas. They all ran the same.

With this situation going on....I've been hanging out with neighbors on my block more than ever in 5 years. Yesterday I took several different people on rides in the cobra. I should have had video. The reactions were hilarious. First scared....then excited...to its already over? Everyone got a tail wagging 30-100 blast. IAT2s got hot as hell....mofo just kept pulling like a freight train.
