the only problem that I would see if your MKX gets driven so little that even though you may not hit that certain mile marker ie: 7500 or whatever it be..doesn't oil have a certain type of an for lack of a better word 'expiration' date? (for instance if you get your oil changed at say jiffy lube(just for illustration purposes) they always put a certain mileage or date)I am sure that the additives will begin to breakdown..I am speculating that this oil is more directed at the people who drive 100's or 1000's of miles per day or even per week. Therefore they could go longer in between oil change intervals. I know the Jiffy Lube thing is probably just a scam..but whatever. I can say from experience that the Royal Purple IMHO is junk..way overpriced and I surely would never use it again or recommend it. We tried it in out 2003 Supercharged F150.. MKX what type of climates are you in? I know that plays a roll what weights you choose. (pretty sure I remeber you talking about snow so I am sure that was one reason)

gotcha..that black box can do alot..LOL I run Valvoline Premium Blue Full Synthetic in my F350 diesel..its very expensive..but also well worth it..I was planning on doubling but I am at 9k and I think its time to change..I beat the hell out of it on a daily basis..so that could be a very good reason why its breaking down(or seems to be) before 10K..438hp and 859lb ft..its not easy on oil..LOL

understood..but the computer inst gonna be able to tell you how long he went between oil change intervals. Also they suggest if you are trying to 'double' your oil change interval that you send in a sample midway..if you are trying to do every 10k send a sample at 5k (described for the stupid people) and they will say yea or nay on doing so. Also with normal driving anyone driving the edge isnt really gonna beat the shit out of it therefore less chance of oil breaking down.

how will the dealer know how many miles you go? also he said he was going that have the oil tested..they will tell you how many more miles the oil is good for or if it needs to be changed because it is breaking down. http://www.blackstone-labs.com/gas_engines.html

a synthetic blend and a full synthetic are two different things.

any particular reason you chose Amsoil over other synthetic oil brands? and what made you choose that weight oil? I am planning on using synthetic too..just wondering what if anything made you chose one over the other or is it just brand loyalty?

filled up tonight and put it 18.34 gallons and figured to be @ 20.5 mpg with a calculator and computer said 19.8 this is with mostly highway driving @ 70 or so with a little bit of city. vehicle only has 18xx.xx miles on FWD with the stock 18's I am hoping that it continues to get better as it gt closer to the end of the 'break in' period

"I bought the weathertech front and back mats. Vedy, vedy nice." me too.

got all of mine from mats.com all weathertech stuff...they are awesome mats..they fit tight and look great.

just released as a prototype..its not in production.

OMG.....

ok I gotcha..but you 'could' do a double din with dvd and just not use it.. for only a little more $$ then a single din, and not have any cheesy cubby I am not trying to push anything just saying..but with the Pioneer AVIC-Z1orZ2 you wont need a 6 disc cd changer..once you insert the cd one time after about 10 mins all of the music is ripped off the cd and stored to a harddrive. Its freaking awesome. Not to jack a thread or try to get compliments..just to show a pic..this looks pretty close to stock to me..IMO better..once again jmo.. you be the judge.

YOU WANT TO DO ALL THAT BUT KEEP THE FACTORY HEADUNIT? WHY? YOU WILL NEVER GET THE FULL CAPABILITY OF ALL THE SPEAKERS YOU WANT WITH A FACTORY HEADUNIT. iT JUST DOESN'T HAVE A WIDE ENOUGH RANGE. SORRY FOR THE CAPS.

And for being an AWD the mileage didn't change very much either..I think it was what, 1MPG on highway and city.

he may have done it fine for many years in a FWD or RWD..he didnt say his AWD was gonna fix stupid(talking of the other sheep)..just maybe umm..handle rougher terrain..and possibly be a little safer..

because 4 degrees is the difference between wearing shorts or pants..LOL so unless you are getting dressed in your edge..

man you are just killing me.. god..I just cant take it..

congrats on the nice new ride..you will love it.

what he said..the sirius is transferable..just call them with the new number and the old one.. I just installed and AVIC-Z2 with a sirius tuner and reversing camera. here is the only pic I have I can take more if you like

wow..you all are sticklers for preciseness.. MKX..to type all that shit..you have way to much spare time..

wow..no sense of humor.

SUV :shades:

welcome from one new edge owner to another.

oh..I never stated it was legal..but neither is speeding.. nobody allows it..but people still do it..I just meant it VERY common in Florida. I do need some 22's badly.

funny how much wheels can change the whole look of the car post #5 from picture 1 to 2..wow what a difference. like that car though.
