    4BW-5BW What has the dealer replaced under Warranty for you?

    Low oil pressure was the message that popped up on the dash, then the car told me to turn it off. Figured it was a fluke, but sure enough, it was cooked. They found all sorts of uneven wear when they broke it down, check out these pics. Failure was deep in the bearings In the end, my dealer...

    Maintenance Intervals

    Oil and filter change every 5k miles. I like Mobil 1 Extended Performance 5W-30 and get the oil filters from tapout's website (insanely fast shipping times) I blow out the air filters with a compressor thoroughly every time I change the oil. They are the reusable green element ones. If I...

    Blackwing Maintenance Regimen

    I got overwhelmed by the number of PF64 part numbers there were online, so I just upgraded to the UPF64 from tapout's website. Since then, the oil pressure has been within a couple psi of what it was with the standard PF64 filter recommended by the manual. The upgraded filter seems more...

    New Rears, or just replace the one tire

    Blowing out both tires on the same side at speed does not sound like a fun experience, I am glad you were alright! Thank you for your input, this is really solid information. I had a feeling I was on the right track with the rear diff being sensitive New rears ordered

    New Rears, or just replace the one tire

    I have a question regarding a tire replacement and the overall lifespan of these TPC spec PS4S summer tires. I noticed a huge screw in the shoulder of my rear passenger tire (TPC PS4S) back when I swapped to my winter set. It is 100% non-repairable due to location of the screw. this...

    What did you do to your Blackwing today?

    Last night on rt 34 in colts neck, nj a large tree came down directly onto my roof while trying to get home from the driving range. A freak storm cell popped up out of nowhere, took down all sorts of trees, and knocked out all the power. I thought I could make the 5-minute trip back to my...
