Those are good books...I have them lol....I used to read those while my girlfriend at the time read novels

And I suppose Fabio never studied advanced engine management books in the love novels she was reading at the time so she kicked your lame butt to the curb and set out for adventure?

Hey she married me so I must have a lil something going on that she liked ha

Coz Fram could not Cram everything in there? IDK. That is a sizeable difference on the outside, if we can find a cutaway of both for comparison, we can see if it amounts to anything. I thought Mobil1 filters were a bit larger than OEM, if I still have one on the shelf I will check.

Two random thoughts of the day

1) For the last [many] months, McDonald's has been promoting all sizes of soft drinks and coffee for $1. And the price went back up to their normal menu prices. My personal struggle was the convenience of turning right into McDonald's and grabbing my large black coffee, and then right back onto the main road on the way to work versus turning left into Tim Horton's and left back onto the main road in similar fashion. Now that McD is back to normal, Tim Horton's will again get my business at $2 per cup.

2) My SHO has been at the dealership since Tuesday afternoon getting a few things checked over before part of my warranty is no more. In for sunroof vibration, right rear hub howling, and a sound in the steering column that sounds like a pair of marbles rolling around a solo cup when I turn right... apparently the last is some sort of spring mechanism that a few people claim should have been a recall but not enough people reported it? My loaner is a 2018 Explorer XLT with 4wd and the n/a V6. Its fine, but I am ready to have my SHO back today lol

Tim Hortons coffee is no better than McD's???

That sound I have heard described for suspension and exhaust components, never the steering column.

Tim Horton's tastes better IMO, but when McD was $1, the value proposition made me go to McD more often

Will update when I know more about what the deal was with the steering column spring

Might make for a cool shift knob even.

And yes Z, a unique gift from your daughter. Very cool.

Was going to start installing the parts I pulled off of my PI on my SHO, but then I noticed a softball sized spot of transmission fluid under the car. Guess I'll have to wait on that until the dealer takes care of it. Not very confidence inspiring for a car with less than 300 miles on it.
