You didn't get that Bosch filter with the deal did you?

I thought the O'reiley sale was for the 5 quart jug? How did you get the quart bottles on sale?

Used to badmouth Ford all the time when I was driving my S-10. After it was gone I got a Ranger...go figure. Someone hit it on the head earllier...it is probably what your Dad drove and that is what you were used to...at least that was the way it happened for me. But with how fantastic my S-10...

Had a 1991 S-10 that I had to painfully get rid of due to rust issues. Had over 250,000 miles on it and rarely an issue. Had the original trans fluid in it and still shifted perfectly. Engine was the 4.3 (which was the same as the 350 with 2 of the cylinders cut off) Super easy to work on and...

I have a couple of cases left from when it was .50 a quart after rebate at Murray's. Have run it in my own vehicles as well as given away a case to a friend. Never an issue. It is thought well of here.

Here is a very nice write up on the 2007 Odyssey. http://www.odyclub.com/forums/14-periodi...f-z1-fluid.html I have a 2008 Odyssey and have no desire to mess around with the cooler lines so I did a 4x flush through the drain plug in the pan.

Menards is having a Made in the USA sale this week and I noticed in their ad they have a Masterforce set of sockets and screwdrivers that are made in teh USA. I haven't looked at their tools before but might next time I need something....

As rjacket said, your stock up prices are way too high. I am pushing 100 or so quarts of a variety of different oils. Some I got for free and the ones I had to pay for were always less than $2 a quart. And yeah, 100 quarts is too much!

The part you need is M-6880-A50 made by Ford Racing. I have one on my Ranger for the exact reason you mentioned... http://www.amazon.com/Ford-Racing-M6880A50-Filter-Adapter/dp/B000CEO6RM

Interesting....lists Mercon V. I haven't personally seen the newer bottles with the apparent lack of he Mercon V listing. I was considering the Maxlife at one point but decided on the Castrol Mercon V.

If you are close to an Advance Auto Parts You can get Castrol Mercon V for less than $4 a quart using a coupon code. It is one of the few ATF's that you can still use the coupon code on.. I used it on my 97 Ranger last year...used a Mityvac to suck as much fluid out as I could, replaced with...

I have seen the signs out by the pumps for a few months now...was also wondering the same thing.

I have never seen gallon jugs of Mercon V. I looked pretty extensively a few years ago when I changed out the fluid in my Ranger. You can still pick up Castrol Mercon V. for under 4$ a quart with coupon at Advance. It is one of the few atf's that you can still use the coupon on. I stocked up...
