    Oil for slightly neglected ford explorer 4L sohc

    Coolant and rear diff oil were both brown. I'm sure the front diff is just as bad. And it's got a coolant overflow tank now. The rear diff was so bad I'm considering dumping some reclaimed motor oil in there, going around the block and dumping it again before I fill up with my cherished mobil1.

    '26 Escape Can't Be Sold in 6 States

    Six states? That's ratarded. Seems like California is the only one that needs their own emissions standards since they usually have about 7 or 8 of the top 10 spots for US cities with the worst air pollution and usually run uncontested, only against themselves for about the top 5 spots.

    Is Hybrid Oil Worth it For Super Low Mileage Cars?

    Looks like I'm going to Walmart today, see if they're doing any in-store. Mobil1 oils tend to have the best oxidization resistance. Is it worth $10 yah maybe if you could push your low mile oil changes out to say 3 years.

    Installed a filter minder

    Yes I was going to put it in the air box as I normally do but I saw that restrictive looking air intake and thought I'll just try this first. I'm sure the air filter box will produce no reading for a while just as I've found with the dodge. I can see if there's an upgrade maf available because...

    Installed a filter minder

    I installed one on the 2010 Ford explorer 4L. New microguard select air filter is already showing 13''h2o a I have even really spun the engine up as fast as it will go. Pretty sure the main restriction forward of the throttle plate is the approximately 2 inch diameter maf sensor. The dodge...

    Do any manufacturers still use break in oil?

    LSjr did a video on this like a year ago. Generally it doesn't appear to be needed in modern car engines. Probably just an early oil change. My break in oil for brand-new small engines is fill them up with 4,000 mile reclaimed oil, run them for like 5 minutes till they get warm and dump it.

    What's the worst canister oil filter on the market?

    Yeah I'd probably dump it through a lint free cloth rag. The difference is used combustion grade oil is going to have a lot of dirt and metal in it. Fuel is normally clear and clean has hardly any dirt. Combustion grade oil is going to be loaded with dirt and metal down to whatever the filter...

    Oil for slightly neglected ford explorer 4L sohc

    I found the used endlinks. One on the left is as found and right one is reconstructed with left over bushings and washers from an end link bushing kit. The rears are just as bad. Like I said it's more than a feeling.

    Installed a filter minder

    Been putting more miles on it since I splattered that deer with my wife's car. Had 2 or 3 dust storms since may, one that was fire smoke, dust and ash that lasted all day. 14,000 miles now, still no reading so I took it out, blew it off and shopvac'ed it. It's starting to look a little dirty...

    Why it's good practically forever, till it gets fried inside of an electric compressor, then it needs a purification machine which is big bucks.
