    Hi Drove my RS mk3 to a car show at the weekend. When coming back, at low RPM when accelerating the red low oil light was flashing on and off.

    Thought everyone might like this tool I found for doing an oil change. It's called the Oil Udder Oil Udder | Spill Free Oil Filter Removal Tool It made changing the oil this weekend so easy and clean that I didn't even have to remove my ADF skid plate. Highly recommend checking it out.

    It's that time, time for an oil change. For the longevity of engine power and health, it seems that using an oil that has lower NOACK volatility will reduce the oil vapors going back through the intake and baking on to the intake ports. I kinda remember seeing a comparison of the NOACK...
  8. Focus RS TroubleShooting
    Hello all, I purchased my RS in May and changed the oil at 1,800 and 4,900 km. I've been using the 5W-50 Motocraft oil supplied by my local ford dealer, and do all the work myself. I have the oil analysed for wear metals, contaminants, and it's physical properties. The 1,800 km test came back...
