    Can Mobil 1 EP really go 15,000 mi?

    I believe it can, but check the level every once in a while. Also use a high quality filter that will last 15k along with the oil.

    Ford Mustang V6 Coolant Change Interval

    Okay, it should be due for a coolant change then. We don't know who the 1st owner was as we bought it off a CarMax lot. Should we be using a particular brand of coolant such as Motorcraft? I want to make sure the car's cooling system is in good shape before this Florida summer hits us.

    Reminiscing - First vehicle & first oil changes

    The truck in my signature is my first car. I remember the ad on craigslist for $2800, it said "has no heat (I've never needed it here)". I live in florida so most of the time I don't need it either. I changed my oil at work for the first time in December.
