Aside from the 1/2 tank, any other specific circumstances that generate this clunk?  Possibly fuel pump starting to quit, hope it's not the straps.
Thats a very valid point MANU,my rough idle situation could be related possibly to the fuel pump,or the straps contributing to the noise which only happens at slow speeds on bumpy roads.  Z

Yeah, its no joke. Makes it quieter and smoother IMHO.

Should see a bump in MPGs as well.

I would stick to a 5k interval regardless of any mileage claims due to DI fuel dilution.

Which Amsoil should I use?  Which filter?  I am going to start changing my own oil.

Night and day difference. The smoothness and overall less engine noise is remarkable.

I was a skeptic, no longer.

I used this.

Do I hear 11.9 in the offing ...

If tuned:  Take note of the strategy code as you return to stock (including 3 bar MAP to 2 bar MAP) -> take car in & get it serviced -> check strategy code when you get car back -> have tuner update your tune if the strategy code has changed -> reload tune -> ENJOY!

Think amsoil is nice, try it with archoil. It's the ultimate combo.
13' SHO, Non-PP, Tuned by Torrie, Meth injection, 3 bar, 170* stat, custom axle back exhaust, Prosport Boost gauge.
15' F150 Lariat Sport, all the options, 3.5L Eco. (fiancée ride.)
13' GTCS, will be missed.

The only additives i would add is to the fuel system once in a while,also based on the owners manuel they highly dont recommend using any oil additives,basically thats my own pesonal view.  Z

They also don't recommend using lowering springs, meth injection, exhaust, upgraded turbos, Cai, or tunes. I'd say the owners manual is more of a book of suggestions.

You are absolutly correct to point that out,but some of us like to read the manuel and use only a API certified sn/gl-5 oil made for our cars. Z
