This was true of old turbos but modern engines continue cooling the turbos after shutoff. At least the German OEMs do

This is pending sale to @Thundabukket on the 5th; I’ll update here if made available again for any reason

For a 4.25ish return I’d be hitting up treasuries right now rather than CDs personally Lots of liquidity, easy to exit if needs change before maturity.

I forgot to mention, I'll include the storage bags for the top that came with my FE as well.

I’ve gotten a few requests from out of state, and I want to emphasize that I think that shipping would be nearly impossible from a pricing and packaging point of view. But if anyone else has heard of these being shipped, let me know!

My 4 door FE averaging 20mpg over 8k miles

I switched to a soft top a long time ago and will not be switching with the seasons as I originally anticipated. Includes factory sound-deadening headliner. No known damage or degradation. No unusual noises or leaking were present when it was installed. $5k OBO. Not interested in any trades. I...

First car? Neither. Go with something that's less prone to rollover and other maneuverability difficulties.

Mine has made similar sound for thousands of miles too… also only after driving for awhile at higher speeds Mine is a little quieter/less clicky, almost sounds like a bird chirping. But same cadence. Only noticeable below like 16mph. Assumed it was a nonissue but maybe should take to service...

Wait, so you're saying one must pick and choose between various statements Ford has made on the matter? Interesting... Hard to advocate "trusting Ford" on the one hand, and on the other sow doubt about their most recent claims on the issue (that 7qts do no damage to the engine, and that running...

There's a lot of misinformation coming from both "sides", from the 6qt'ers side it's that running 7 will put your engine at risk. SSM50981: “Following the previously recommended capacity is not necessary, but will not cause any harm to the engine. The initial fill capacity for a new/dry engine...

No, it’s standard to offer a zillion trims and special editions in this segment now (Jeep)

Autolock is what locks your doors when you cross the ~15mph threshold, no?

Kinda surprised you couldn’t sell it for more

SSM50981: “Following the previously recommended capacity is not necessary, but will not cause any harm to the engine. The initial fill capacity for a new/dry engine remains 7.5 quarts.” There is no risk in continuing to run the originally recommended capacity, according to Ford… people can feel...

Surprisingly, I actually do believe this

Another valid and easy solution is to keep more gas in the tank… I never run the tank that low if it’s avoidable (as it sounds like it is in these scenarios: around town, not out in the middle of nowhere)

I’m at over 19 lifetime (over 7500 miles) on my 4-door FE. Split between SLC and Seattle areas

FWIW my html manual (just accessed at 3:32pm PT) shows 6.6L => 6.974qts

Overall I understand your personal read on the situation and think you'll be fine running 6 regardless of which capacity was planned for throughout. But, there have been many other "confirmations" of 7qts that have come down "directly from Ford" throughout this saga, so to imply it was somehow...
