Thank you very much for posting a UOA for this car with the 3.8 liter engine. There are not many on here with that combination and since I own one I appreciated seeing the results.

Thanks for the replies and advice. I just don't want to be one of those people who have car troubles because of a lack of maintenance. I think I am going to do the coolant and thermostat and wait until I NEED to do the water pump. Thanks again! <img src="/forums/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="smile"...

I have used QSUD for a while now with not one complaint. It is very stout and a good deal for an awesome oil! Use with complete peace of mind.

I have a 2000 Ford Mustang V6 with 109,000 miles on it. I was thinking it was about time to replace the water pump, thermostat and coolant since all these things are original when the car was built. I just wanted some input if it is a good idea to change these parts out, or if I am just wasting...

Hello forum posters!! I posted an oil recommendation a while back about racing an Acura Integra. Well, we moved up to a street stock class and I need a recommendation so that I know I am going in the right direction. The car is a 1974 Chevrolet Camaro with a stock 350 V8 engine and stock heads...

I have a 2000 Ford Mustang with the same engine as yours. I saw the same set of information where Ford had re-spec'ed a lot of cars from a 5w-30 to a 5w-20. I learned however that our motors were NOT spec'ed back to a 5w-20 weight. Overall, I have heard great things about Pennzoil synthetic...

Thanks for all the comments guys. I am glad it came out well!

Hello everyone! This is an oil analysis for my 2000 Ford Mustang V6 automatic. I have owned this car since 87,500 miles and I wanted to see where I was at in terms of wear, so I didn't push the limits on the interval too much. On this interval, the car has seen about 35% city driving and 65%...

What is the iso-syn process of Chevron's motor oils? I purchased an oil deal at Autozone that included a 5 qt. jug of Chevron Supreme without the iso-syn label. What is the difference between a iso-syn labeled bottle of Chevron oil to a non-labeled bottle? Thank you very much for your time.
