Yes its safe 4.6l fords are the same deal. Some run 5w30 like they used to be specd for, some run 5w20 as ford specs now. I have two crown vics that one runs 15w40 and one has 20w50 in it. Both spend the summers redlining at the dirt track. You shal be good.

Some cars are easier on tires, some are harder If you drive a Twin I Beam Ford, rotations are mandatory. If you drive a Festiva with 12" wheels, I doubt it will care what you do with the tires All Wheel Drive cars can act up if you do not keep the tires properly rotated and inflated. Some...

Most bowling lanes are installed using robertson screws If you have an impact driver, robertsons are a great choice for your fasteners used. Due to the tapered nature of robertson drive, the screw will lock onto the bit without any magnet needed. So you put your deck screw onto the bit, and it...

I have Firestone Affinity Touring tires on a Grand Marquis 35k so far in 1 1/2 yr. Still have just over 9/32 of meat left on them Handles excellent in northern WI snow. Never had a problem of getting stuck. Barely slips in the rain. Free rotations every 5K at Firestone. So far, great bang...

Menards' house brand coolant is re-badged Peak GREEN When I need green coolant, I get it there. Last bottle was $6 after rebate

evinrude did not make a 75hp outboard in 1994

Get them for $1.99 on sale. Its a $2 filter. It will filter, and it costs two bucks. What more do you wanna know? Will it survive the recent trend of 20k mile oil changes and such? no Will it filter oil? Yes Will it work for normal 3-5k mile intervals? yes Theres an old saying, use the...
