Thx folks - I have never seen this in my almost 50 years of changing oil...of course, as mentioned, this car gets very few miles and mostly short trips which is a new thing for me, but I had never seen it happen in a known 'healthy' vehicle...in other words, I've seen it but only on vehicles...

I caught my heart in my throat late this afternoon...this looks like water contamination to me (milky residue under the cap)... should I get an analysis (long wanted to--but never have) or should I get it in for a compression test or some such??

Thx my Friend but I just checked, and it says the same: "WSS-M2C947-A" - https://www.fordservicecontent.com/Ford_Content/vdirsnet/OwnerManual/Home/Content?variantid=4196&languageCode=en&countryCode=USA&Uid=G1872873&ProcUid=G1872874&userMarket=USA&div=f&vFilteringEnabled=False&buildtype=web

Hello all, The owners manual on my 2017 C-Max calls (specifically) for: WSS-M2C947-A I'm looking at an oil that says it; "Meets requirements of API SN-Plus, SN, SM, or SL and ILSAC GF-5 or GF-4". It also claims to "EXCEED ALL GM requirements (GM dexos1, Gen 2) worldwide" which sounds good...

For better or worse I have allowed an overnight drain once or twice over the years, and been pre-filling my filters since at least the mid (if not early) 1980's.

Thx to you for your service.

Hello all, Couldn't really find an answer here (and wasn't quite sure how to search any further than I did), but has anyone here ever noticed anything resembling a consensus on Fram filter design quality, please? I recall reading (about 15 years ago) quite a bit on another Forum (Pick-up...

Hi all, this is the spare for my old Ranger. I took a steel brush to the rim to little or no avail. Do I still need to clean this up any better(?) and which primer/paint )combo?) might I use? Thx in advance for ANY

Hi all, `98 Ranger 2WD standard/manual that sometimes becomes all but impossible to get into gear when trying to pull away from a light (or stop sign) - not even by "goosing" the clutch. It's as if all of a sudden an iron or concrete wall has materialized between neutral and any other gear. I...

Sounds like you're running about a 10w-37.5 ... approximately!

I am still just as baffled as I could possibly be trying to figure all this out...can anyone tell me if the wheel in the following link would work please...

Yes, for the 98 Ranger, and I don't know if that's a possibility or not. Hopefully someone else will come along here and know..

Great, thanks - so the "0J" after 14x6 is not a factor?
