So you'll change most of the oil when its not really needed, but are worried about real benefit??? You're a contradiction. lol


Yeah... that creamy stuff on the dipstick is condensation... they made a TSB for it, but it doesn't hurt anything. There are millions of posts about it.

Keep in mind I went through 2 quarts in that 250 mile span and I'm probably a 1/2 quart low. It wasn't like I was Sunday driving.

Point taken... but is the oil dirty at all? I mean, you should just add it back in... not change it... you know? But its not like oil is gold and I'm sure its just better to have all fresh oil than a mix of good and bad oil.. . . . . which is why you should just empty out the oil coolers!!!!!!!

I don't care, I'm just being difficult now.



Any thoughts on the brown eyed foglights? Build up on the bulbs?

Basically I'm just doing a 'freshening' of the oil. Most of the oil with crap in it will be out of the system and the little bit left will be mixed in enough that it shouldn't have any negative impact on the engine.

No idea. I have a base model. Foglights are just extra weight to me.

Side note - you don't have a Winslow jersey, do you? Might want to get to burning that now...

No, i've got an Edwards jersey, which explains why I drop sockets, bolts, nuts, touchdown passes, etc.

Seems a little cheap if you ask me.

It's moisture condensation, it's normal. Do a search on it.

Anybody know how to burn a dvd from a you tube video?

DeViLbOi

You wouldn't want to doc but you can download YouTube videos with the Firefox plugin Fast Video Download. Then you can take that AVI file and put it into something like Nero and burn it. However the 3 minute clip is going to take up like 1% of a DVD so it is a waste.

I thought that youtube vids came out as .flv files. There have been times I really wished they were avi.

And I've been busy these last couple months, looking for a new house, and got engaged. I haven't had a lot of free time, but I'll still try to be around.

Danc is correct... YouTube videos are flv
But if you have a Nero Suite with Nero Vision, you can insert flash videos into it without converting it to avi first (I just tried it to verify).
You can convert flv to avi if you want... I use Adobe Media Encoder CS4 to do this.

Here is my "AP" dyno run:
207.22HP @ 6662 rpm
164.35TQ @ 5149 rpm

This was in 3rd gear 2K-7K rpm.

Yes...I know that YouTube videos are FLV (Flash Video) when they are on the site. I am 99.9% positive that is the plugin that I gave my friend that automatically converts it over to AVI when it downloads it. Having a FLV and needing a special player for it wouldn't make much sense.

OK, the link you gave me was wrong, but I used *SEARCH* and found the downloader. It changes the .flv file to MP4. No avi option. I don't know if my dvd will play and mp4.

I don't want to do a lot of this, but I have a workout I want to download from you tube and do with my dvd. It's inconvenient in front of the computer. Tnx for your help.

BTW, I've now officially removed 25 lbs from the drivers side of the car since last season. Looking for 20 more. (ALL BS LEGAL! )

Doc-
I use a Firefox plugin called "Video DownloadHelper" to download online videos (like YouTube):

I just downloaded Pazera Free FLV to AVI Converter and tried it out and it worked just fine converting flash to avi:

Interesting. Any idea how those numbers compare to a mustang dyno? If you're +/- 5% your still pushing 200 to the wheels. Is this before the mm tuned flash?

On an unrelated note I had my water adapter connected and everything rehooked up and on filling the coolant I had a really slow leak from the adapter. So I took it apart again and tightened up the adapter. We'll see this morning if it's really working.

Getting really good at taking apart my PCM and battery box.
