    post your latest transmission lubricant change.

    2003 Mustang with the 4R70W and the 3.8L engine. Dropped the pan, changed the filter (Motorcraft) and added 4qts of Havoline Mercon V and 1qt of Motorcraft Mercon V. I found the dipstick tube plug in the pan (which was VERY clean) so it was probably the first pan drop in its life. It has 168K on...

    Havoline Smart Change Box - 6 qts

    Just did my first oil change using this today. I like it. I have been using Havoline High Mileage in both of my vehicles for the past few years and the new Smart Change box works perfectly for me as they both take 6qts. When I was done I threw away a small deflated oil container and flattened...

    Sig P229 and Sig Pro 2340 Magazines

    Magazines for the P229 and the Sig Pro series do not interchange in any caliber. Although they look quite similar, the magazine catch is located in a different spot. Here are a few good places for factory magazines: Greg Cote LLC. Top Gun Supply I have ordered from both many times. Their...

    Change? 1 Year and Only 2k Miles...

    Hello all! First let me say I stumbled upon this site about a month ago while researching some oil choices. And it is fantastic! So, for my first post, I figured I’d ask you all a question I have a 2007 Fusion with the 3.0L, 30K miles. My current fill is M1 5w20EP with an Amsoil Ea filter. I...
