I picked up a 1995 Ford F150 w/302 and the 4r70w transmission (170,000 miles) in 2018, without knowing the history of the truck 100% I replaced the pan with one that has a drain plug and new filter and refilled fluid (5qts). About a month later I drained the pan again and replaced 5qts (10 qts...

1999 Ford Ranger 3.0 129,000. Out- Unknown oil w/Fram filter In- Pennzoil Platinum 10w30 w/MC 400S filter.

I have a red top that's still performing well after 7 years. But this isn't the first forum with a thread with Optimum batt. failures. I'm not sure I would replace it with another Opt. Batt or something else.

Schaeffer 221 for my suspension needs.

I just recently picked up some shaeffers 221 from a local rep. I must be lucky cause he sold me the tube(s) for $4.25, said the 238 (which he said was over kill for automobile use iho) was only a $1 more. For that price it was a no brainer and top dog in it's price range to what I have locally...

I received something similar from BSL back in 06'. Since it takes me a year to hit 5k on the stang. Basically in that time period it does not affect the oil. So I only change the oil in my stang once a year (MC 10w30/FL1A w/1 quart added due to rear main leak).

Still using syn blends. When the warranty is up on the Fusion a full syn will be used(extended intervals from there). When the mustang gets a new motor a full syn will be used.

Leather Master user here. It outperformed Pinnacle's leather conditioner on both coated and uncoated leather. Tried it on my wifes leather jacket and she noticed a difference right away. Not stiff at all and now she can move more freely with it on (military issued heavy jacket).

I've been using Amsoil ATF in my mustang since 05' and it works just fine. Ford T5 tranny are notorious for 3rd gear syncro failure. I've had mine rebuilt twice with in 3 years using Ford ATF I believe was used (or what ever the dealership used). Since Amsoil was put in 4 years ago it's still...

Termi's are great looking cars and are plenty strong but not worth what the guy is asking. Besides with Ford bringing the 5.0 back and it's making 412 horses I don't think termi's are going to be as popular when the 5.0 hits the streets again. A 32v DOHC 5.0 in a GT with real factory headers...

I haven't seen any direct link to the theory/myth of not changing old trans fluid. But there have been plenty of occurrences where folks have changed old fluid and out of the blue a previously hard working smooth shifting trans. just lets go. Kind of the same thing that happened when switching...

Same as above, it's probably been about a year since I last used it.

I used to use 303 and still use it here and there but when I was sent a sample of Optimum protectant plus (now called leather protectant [same product with a light leather smell])I made the switch. Slightly cheaper with the same look and better smell during use (303 smelled like BO but it...
