I did some work this morning on the SCrew. I installed an Airaid CAI and changed the oil to Mobil1 5w20 and motorcraft filter. The airaid unit was easy to intall. It took me about an 1 1/2hrs The oil change took 30. Hoping for 1-2mpg increase for 2hrs labor and ~$150.

The airaid unit was pretty easy to install. I got a great deal off from the classifieds here.

The oil change wasn't bad, but the oil filter location sucks. I could barely get the filter off with my old oil filter wrench (band style). Not enough room for ratchteting the wrench.

Don't overlook recommended tire pressure for help on gas milage.

 

Yeah, thanks Torkum.

I just bought a nice tire gauge. I was planning on doing checking it today.

I just got back from the first test drive. Sounds good. I don't know about added power (just rained), but it sounded meaner when I got in the throttle a little.

I also just added photos in my gallery.

Looks good! My next mod will be an intake - probably around October sometime.

 

The filter wrenches with the adjustable elbo work really well. Not much room in there at all.

You can hope for 1-2 MPG increase, but I doubt you'll see any improvement.
