Completly rebuilt motor top end and bottom end. Will use to commute on the freeway about 50 miles a day. 0-40 im not sure if this car has been back speced to use 0-40

1986 BMW 325e 156k miles will a nice 10-40 be fine or will the new euro 5-40 work? Live in Los Angeles doesnt get very cold here this is my first old BMW. Dean

Yes the bottom end is Ford Duratec the heads are made by Jaguar as is the engine management. Sorry that oil is not avail locally and seems hard to get. I guess I will just go with the Mfg recommendation for Castrol GTX.

3.0 is the V6. Castrol GTX is available as is the semi syn blend. Owners manual states that 5K should be the change interval with the conventional oil but does not state the use of synthetic. I was just wondering if anyone had used any thing else with good results. Thank you for the link great...

Just picked up a Jag for my wife any one have experience with this motor? owners man calls for castrol 5-30 conventional.

I have a 97 Ford Explorer that has has some really weird bucking hesitation issues for the past 3 months. When in over drive with the converter locked it would buck and hesitate and not rev once i gave it just a little gas, cruising it was fine and at WOT it was fine idle was good as well. Fuel...

Lol thats what i thought since all this new fangled coolant has come out its kinda confusing. Thanks Bullwinkle

Can find this anywhere, what coolant should i use for a 1997 explorer with a OHV 4.0 v6? I think i read that Zerex G05 is good just want to make sure
