    CD Eject-NOT

    Hi all. Minor hick-up with the Sport. It seems the eject button doesn't see my finger. CD plays ect but can't be taken out. Anyone have this problem or suggestion before I take it by the dealer ? Best, Red13Sport

    Should I get the "Protector Treatment" for my new Limited?

    I turned down that offer too. I've used "Liquid Glass" polish on my cars and trucks for years. So good it makes the soap bead up and stays on for a very long time. It's an old product and a little pricey at $30 a can but well worth it. Makes this red ex look a foot deep :eek: Just my 2...

    Running an OCC (Oil Catch Can) on the 3.5L Ecoboost

    I've had 2 oil separators on my Sport from the beginning, 21,710 miles, one year and 3 oil changes. Less than a tea spoon in each. One on the PCV and one on the other valve cover vent line. Also put an AC magnetic absolute check valve on the PCV side. Just thought the PCV valve might leak under...

    Wax & Cleaner Recommendations

    Liquid Glass. Not cheap but simply amazing. Use it on my collector cars and the red ex. Stays on forever too. Makes my 67 Nova with lacquer look like clear coat. This is what the show winners keep secret. RED13SPORT

    Oil Viscosity-EB

    This is mostly highway miles,,the average is 20.4 MPG so I'd think she's not running that rich. Blacks the pipes when you play with her :D The oil life was still 31% at 7000 miles. Ya know Ryan the 50W we used to race with measures 1200 S/S :eek:

    Oil Viscosity-EB

    Second oil change in the Sport at 9500 miles. 5W30 Mobil 1 is 200 Sabolt Seconds on our gauge. The 5W30 Mobil 1 drained out at 7000 miles measures 140S/S. First oil change at 2500 miles, the original oil measured 170 S/S which caused me to think the factory fill was thinner than the...

    1/4 Mile Run Times

    Ken, you expected the extra boost to push a hose off ? Is the intercooler sandwiched between the radiator and the A/C evaporator or is it out front ? In all not a complete loss, which track where you at ?

    Question for 2013 Explorer Sport Owners

    Red14, in the 1980's Ford had an advertising jingle /song that ask when was the last time you had a car that brings the road alive? During the commercial they showed vid's of Fords race cars, Bill Elliot's NASCAR, Bob Glidon's ProStock TBird. That's what I was referring to, so enjoy your new...
