Yeah I was looking at the latest year lowest mileage panther platform car I could afford and ended up with a 07 Mercury Grand Marquis with 89k, After owning a 05 Cadillac SRX that turned into a problem after problem money pit I now want a reliable hwy cruiser.

Well I'm definitely glad to hear about the reliability in the 4.6 V8 that's exactly why I chose a panther platform vehicle. It will be a Texas Highway cruiser for me as I do travel often for Dallas-Austin-Houston. Think I will be going with a 5w-30 Castrol Synthetic oil w/ Wix filter.

Has anybody been using these filters from Wix? XP is there best oil filter in the line just wanted some thoughts.

As far as my ignition system I went through that earlier this year and did the following: New MSD GM HEI Cap & Rotor New MSD GM HEI coil New MSD HEI 8mm street fire wires New AC delco plugs #41-630 This woke my 307 quite a bit, I saw MSD also makes a module like pertronix but I didn't know...

UPDATE: Decided to try Valvoline Maxlife 10w-30 and K&N PS-2006 filter.

@ JimPghPA This summer I had a new A/C orifice tube and accumulator installed, I bought 5 cans of R12 off craigslist it wasn't cheap but nothing beats R12 in this Texas heat my A/C works amazingly. Also had a HD fan clutch installed last summer with a brand new AC delco 3 row rad and a new...
