No.

I don't know about that. Even among owners that know next to nothing about oil, Among ford diesel owners, that spec is very widely known.

Their 0w40 meets ford spec.

Carburetor is more reliable hands down. For the cost of a carburetor, you could easily bing a spare with you and change the whole thing in a few minutes should there be an issue.

There have been mistakes since the beginning of time. However, anyone in business understands that, today, materials failure after some use/time is generally a deliberate choice. Perhaps not as precisely as the designers were intending, but, a deliberate choice nonetheless. This is reality, not...

9 times out of 10, mayo under the fill cap is some degree of coolant contamination. People do not like to hear that.

As someone who does this for a living, change the tank ASAP. Once there is one pinhole others aren't far behind. Sometimes the bottom splits completely. Empty to full is almost 2k pounds of oil, that's a lot of stress on a rotten tank. Yes, they rot from the inside out. Going to ulsd increased...

I like them. I've been using phillips omniguard in most things lately, calcium sulfonate with some borate esters I believe.

The food quality is garbage for the cost. It's not any better (possibly worse) than 25 years ago. The problem is I can get a decent or good sub at almost any gas station, many of which DO fresh slice their meat now. I can usually get an excellent sub at one of the many small delis. I will...

I think it helps with cam and valvtrain wear in most engines. Mos2 specifically, more than other forms has been shown to reduce wear in those areas. I've run it in multiple vehicles with well over 500,000 miles (that I still own). I've done (visual) inspections on engines / camshaft where it's...

I run mobil 1 5w50 (have a couple dozen cases from a a very good deal a while back, guess what this toyota is going to live most of it's life on...) in a modern vvt engine. Runs great, no codes, even below zero.

'87 was fuel injection and cats. At least in NY, we had an 87, efi, cats, bricknose. Maybe ford was doing a major change mid model year, wouldn't be the first time.
