    1995 Mercury Grand Marquis, Amsoil SSO 3,784 Miles

    This does not have the plastic intake since it's a 1995 model.

    1995 Mercury Grand Marquis, Amsoil SSO 3,784 Miles

    I began having an external coolant leak at the rear of the engine. At first I suspected the heater hose that runs underneath the intake, but I replaced it by routing some hose from underneath the manifold, so I never removed the intake manifold. Once I got done, I refilled and drove around and...

    1995 Mercury Grand Marquis, Amsoil SSO 3,784 Miles

    Oil Changer, TFB1 is correct, the 1995 model had an aluminum intake. Donald, I thought OAI did glycol readings as well but I didn't see it anywhere on the report.

    a random question for any ThinkPad owners

    While IBM computers look like they came out in the 80s, they still hold up well long term. With Lenovo, it's still pretty good quality, given you pay a high price for it. Given how quality control in the computer field is pretty shady, I think you'd have about the same odds as getting a POS...

    $101 trillion

    War ain't cheap, it has gone on far too long, but hard to get a new infrastructure when you destroy an infrastructure that was based on fear.

    Yes, you are correct, beef fats contain a natural, harmless type of trans-fat. In my opinion, it shouldn't be labeled under the trans-fat label, instead it should be "other unsaturated fat" or not considered trans-fat at all. But the trans-fats that were found to be harmful is when an oil is...

    New website launched!!!

    Looks good, I'm glad to see some dealer sites with updated photos and specs on the oils. I'm sure once the organization is finished it'll look really good.

    I have eaten McDonalds once or twice since the trans-fat went away, but before then it had been a couple of years. The ones around here still taste like they did when I was a kid. Perhaps Canada managed to keep the beef tallow in it until the trans-fat free oils came in. Though regional...

    ineligible noncitizens

    Freedom of speech did exist in America, but now if you offend someone, you're censored. Double standards in our society, a society where people can play any card they want because they know they'll win due to so much leniency/"fairness", are heavily used and remove the basis for freedom of speech.

    Regulations to make sure the information is available would make sure people know. I'm ok with those types of regulations, but it can so strict that it interferes with everything. Though just because the regulation is there, doesn't mean bribery can't take place to make it appear that the...

    SSO 0W-30 8,400 Miles 93 Civic 1.6

    What was the engine's previous history with oil changes? That's a lot of miles, and if the SSO is cleaning up anything, that could drop it's TBN and raise it's oxidation.
