I disagree, 15w40 HDEO with a Motorcraft filter is the best combo.

Can you break up all the catalytic material and shake it out to assure free-flow, or do you need to buy new bypass pipe?

If you have inspections you can hollow out your cat, if not then straight pipe it. No inspections here in OH.

True facts make me happy. Until you post a link to backup what you say, its a fact that this so called link you have does not exist.

Actually, although it is not known whether the link exists, nor if even the premise is valid, since these both of those could be true, at this point I believe it is more appropriate to call this an "unsubstantiated claim".
