Performed a bit more routine maintenance on my MKS.  I removed and cleaned both MAP sensors with MAF cleaner.  I also removed the oil separator from the valve cover and washed it out with solvent and also cleaned the PCV valve with MAF cleaner.   There didn't seem to be any residue on the sensors but there was some gunk in the separator.

I doubt if any of this had any effect on the car but I do enjoy doing little stuff like this!
Bruce glad you took my advice and checked the pcv/separator,some early Spring cleaning is always welcomed.  Z

Yes, Z, you got me thinking about the pvc system.  I had never paid any attention to it.   Good tip!

Good thinking!  I just added this to the Spring cleaning list for my Flex.

Debadged the MKS today. No more Lincoln badge, MKS badge and I removed the Ecoboost badge too. I may replace that with the Ecobeast badge if they are available. I also gave a wax combo a try, clay baring the truck lid to clean off all the glue and gunk. Used a little 3M perfect it to clean up what the clay bar didn't get. Then I used some Mothers California Gold Carnauba cleaner wax and then the same in a pure Carnauba wax over the top. I'll see how I like it after a few washes and then do the rest of the car.

What does that mean?
It means the folks making these badges will be getting a cease and desist letter from Ford soon.

Shame on a judge or anyone that would sign that letter......last i checked, beast and boost were spelled differently and meant different things

I get what you're saying but had the guys that were making the badges applied for the trademark, there would be no issue or Ford would be writing them a check for the rights. You snooze, you lose....

Not feasible for snall businesses to keep getting trademarks for everything.  Their burden is to keep on adapting.
