    01 Taurus AX4N fluid refill capacity

    Add more until it is at the bottom line then go for a drive and get it hot. Just add a cup or so at a time, there is only about a 1/3 inch between lines on that dipstick.

    Jeep WJ 2000 - Help removing a steering wheel with shaved tabs (can't use 2 jaw puller).

    Get the puller on there the best you can and air hammer next to it. Put the torch on it under load of the puller also. If you wreck it and get a junkyard until make sure to swap over the SKIM before trying to start it.

    2002 7.3 Powerstroke in Excursion - coolant recommendation?

    It would have come with green. You need to test it often and add stuff. I switched mine to Rotella ELC about 15 years ago. It does not need any SCAs. Anything with Cat ELC-1 is good just pull the block drains and swap it all. You mentioned economy, watch the Napa monthly flyer for deals. They...

    What do you folks use for rear brake calipers?

    C-clamp it is a straight push in style. Needle nose pliers and lots of bad words if it has to be twisted. One day I might get one of those kits above.

    Fram Ultra XG2, HPL 5w-40, 1.2k mi C&P

    Those pleats look good. Did it have wire backing? Holes or louvers?

    Blue Angles in Pensacola.

    Fighter pilots do not get in trouble. There was an error with the altimeter or a flock of birds the pilot had to avoid.

    Champion 47301T (3600 size) C&P

    It takes about 2.5 hours to mow so it gets hot. Seems like a waste of resources now after the fact. I should have ran it 100hrs. There was only so long I was willing to trust a 7 year old $1 filter.

    Champion 47301T (3600 size) C&P

    50hrs on my mower with QS 5w-40. Champ PH400XL and Delvac 15w-40 extreme went back. Strange bypass I have never seen before The end cap has holes in it and flexes, sorta like a canning jar lid if that makes sense. No defects that I could see. Pleats were a little wavy. I wasnt planning to post...

    Same Car Same Engine, Different Country Different Oil

    5w-30 will be fine. My brother in law overseas ran one of those Mirages for Uber/Grab for 5 years on 15w-40. The third dead CVT is what lead to a new car not the oil.

    Engine hydraulic & backfiring probs

    Set both valves at .006 and try to start it. I would not spend any money until you know it is not blown up. That plate does not matter for now nor does the exact spec on the valves.

    Trying to disguise product made in China

    Cost cutting. Less ink for prc vs china.

    Ever buy a preemptive parts car/mechanics special?

    I have a wrecked parts car for my grand cherokee, drove enough to get on the trailer. Paid for itself in odd parts already. If that 08 is compatible for your 2 runners getting it is a no brainer at a lower price. This is assuming the boss will let you drag another one home.

    Could smaller be better?

    Those 51515 and Ph8a are the way to go. Same price as the smaller ones and theoretically less likely to go into bypass. You can still get the OG XG8A on ebay.
