Odd Oil Change Result

[Dixie Design]

LOL Jack, I'm not offended at all. I have been known to make some "here's your sign" mistakes in my wannabe grease monkey days. But to answer your question, yessir, she's seated. Drove her about 15 miles to work today, going to check again before I leave, see if it's any different before picking up an extra quart.

edit:

ok, the suspense is killing me, going out to check now

She's dead nuts now. Odd. Probably something stupid I was doing yesterday or maybe it had something to do with it being 104 out when I changed the oil, maybe I was hallucinating from dehydration.


Appreciate the help guys!

My next question was "Is it on level ground" but that's pretty basic 101 stuff!

Glad its full now!

Another thing is that once one of the foil seals came lose on a bottle and plugged a oil hole in a head on a customers car and that thing was always 1 quart shy. But when the motor warmed up and cooled off everything was fine. Found it when doing valve cover gaskets one day and then an oil change and everythings been ok after that. They had tried using stop leak oil additive.
LOL

Isn't it weird when problems "self-correct"?

Maybe there ARE gremlins in the world.

LOL, I actually had that typed in one of my responses that I expected someone to ask me that! If I had posted this at F150online.com I would have been written off as the world's largest idiot in the first 3 min of the post being up, lol. I still swear I don't take offense to the questions, and really appreciate you prefacing those questions like you did

I'm sure I'll have some more "duh" posts when I get around to installing my efans. Ordered them in Feb i think? Heck of a layer of dust on the boxes, lol.

Hey Neal

When you get around to dusting those boxes off. Check into a SPAL controller it seems guys over at f150online are having better luck with them than troyers. Not unless troyer has upgraded his.
I do "duh"s too from time to time.

Me too! (Lots of times). Over on the f150Online electrical forum, the moderator there (named SSCULLY) and I seem to be in a contest to see who can post the biggest count of dumb statements/questions. He's told me he's bound to win though, since as a moderator, he can delete any of mine.

I do think it's sad though, to see how eager some people are to put down others, and, how quickly some people take offense. For the most part, we've managed to avoid that in these forums.

Glad it's resolved. I was trying to think if I ever heard anything in the past from the Ford techs regarding oil levels.... couldn't think of anything.

Hey, we all have something stump us from time to time.....

[88Racing]

Jack you should be a moderator over there "peace keeper". How's that sound?

[Jackpine]

Naw, they've got enough with Bluejay, Stealth, SSCULLY and Rockpick in the forums I look at.
