    Engine oil

    Hi, quick question: I'm close to my first oil change on the P5 and I was wondering what's best to put in? I have a sticker on the engine that says "Elf Synthetic. Use only Elf Synthetic Oil." I'm guessing I can use any synthetic, but what would be best for the harsh climate up here in Quebec...

    Yeah, I struggled to get the stock unit out myself and I had the Ford radio keys to do it...It just wouldn't lock properly in place. Managed to get it out by wiggling it left and right with the keys pressing out.

    anyone ever used acetone to boost mpg?

    The guys on Mythbusters tried it and actually lost a little mpg... not enough to be statistically significant. I think their car got 18mpg on gas, 16 on the mixture... Anyways, acetone is a solvent, and I just don't think it's a good idea to pour that in my car, but you're free to do it if you...

    Fluid Question

    Just a guess. The yellow fluid ... could it be just snow melting from the exhaust pipe?? I know sometimes there's rust in there and when snow melts on it, it takes a yellowish color.

    My little morning story on P5 handling

    We do usually get a lot of snow here in Quebec, but seems like this year....well we don't have so much. We had a few snowstorms in december, but we also had a few days over 5 celsius, so much of the snow has melted since. I hear you on those drivers that don't shoulder-check, happened to me a...

    My little morning story on P5 handling

    Sadly, checking for the company was the last thing on my mind. But yeah, that would have been a real kick-to-the-nuts for him if I did.

    My little morning story on P5 handling

    Actually, I did spill coffee....2 drops beside the shifter (those 2 drops got out from the little hole on top of the cup). Nothing else! :) I don't understand people who brake-check others. Don't they care about their cars....although this one had a company Econoline so he probably didn't care...

    My little morning story on P5 handling

    Hi all, just wanted to share what happened to me this morning with my P5. I stopped to get coffee at Tim Hortons this morning and getting back on the road, I'm at this red light, and turning right. The street I was getting on has 3 lanes and the right one merges with the center one after about...

    Stock Protege 5 Head Unit Radio CD-Player

    So, I just took this off my P5 and checking if anyone wants it. I'm in Quebec, so local pick up is prefered, but I can ship too. I don't really know the value for this, so let's say 50$, but I'm pretty open to offers.

    Sqeaking in front when shifting

    It's about -10 celsius out so I can't really get under the car to check. Wouldn't the bushings squeak when going over bumps in the road too? (that isn't the case right now)
