Baldwin makes a good filter, I've used them in the past on my vehicles. I'm not too familiar with the 6.0L, but the Motorcraft FL1995 was usually a good, readily available filter for the 7.3L at around $10. If I owned that 6.0L, I'd definitely draw a sample and see what it's doing to the oil...

Anyone ever heard of this? Is there any merit to it, or ill effects? Thanks. http://www.lubedev.com/articles/additive.htm

This is what a friend of mine does. Go to a service center that will provide free estimates on repair work, and get one for rear brake service. They will take your car in and FREE THE DRUMS for you during their inspection! You can then say no thanks, drive home and easily remove the drums for...

I know this subject has been brought up before, but I need my own advice. Specifically, I was told by a mechanic, that a 1974 Ford 391HD V-8 gas truck engine cannot use a CI-4/SL rated 15W40 motor oil, because it contains too much detergent. This particular vehicle is a firetruck pumper, and...

I did a search here and didn't come up with anything about this company's oil products. I did check their website, they appear to be a small regional company that does business in Illinois, Wisconsin, and Michigan. They do offer lab analysis. But the site lacked any technical info on their...
