G009's and their replacement, the g019s chop very badly on the edges leading to a roaring noise, no matter if they were properly rotated or not. Probably wouldn't be the best tire for a luxury car such as a Lincoln. They do handle well, I had a set on my old SHO. -Sam

As a "tire professional" working in a chain store, I can tell you I have had many tires come in complaining of a leak, and it was leaking from a plug that someone else had installed. We usually yank them out and patch them properly if we can, but more often then not, the person that won't spring...

I work for Firestone and mount primewells all day long, they balance very well, if not better than the comparable firestone/bridgestone products and seem to wear pretty well. I would have them on my own cars, but we get a better discount on firestone/bridgestone tires then the Primewells or the...

I figured that there wouldn't be a difference. I ask because I drive a car, not a truck. I think I'll pick up the clearance oil then. $2 a quart for Quaker State Synthetic seems to be a good buy. -Sam

They're labeled as Full Synthetic. The Quaker State comes in a clear bottle. -Sam

What, exactly, does it mean when an oil is labeled "truck and suv"? I see Mobil 1 oils labeled as such, and my local walmart has some Quaker State 10W40 Truck and 4x4 on clearance for $2 a quart. So, what makes this specific for use in a truck? I mean, an engines an engine, right? -Sam

The v6s are entirely Yamaha, made in Japan and shipped to Ford for installation. So I've read on various SHO websites, anyways. What do you need with two 3.4s? You could build yourself a neat dune buggy; I've seen some ad for a builder that'll make you one with a SHO engine (3.0 manual, I'd...

The 3.4 liter V8 has heads made by Yamaha, the rest of the motor is a Duratec with two extra cylinders.. I've driven a few of them. I love the rumble they have at low rpms, but the interior isn't any nicer than a regular uplevel Taurus, they have that silly looking tiny spoiler, and the silly...

I have already invested way too much time and money into this car. It's been in the family since 96, owned by my granny, and she gave it to me at about 100k when it needed a timing belt, waterpump, valvecover gaskets(should've done the valve adjustment then, but I was pressed for time and the...

This noise has happened with other examples of the FL400s, so I don't think I have a defective filter, unless I've had a few defective filters. Very very occasionally I'll hear a slight tapping noise for a minute as I drive away at a low rpm ( I usually don't give it much idle time to warm up...

I think I'll try the FL2005 at the next oil change, which is due soon. I just made a 2500 mile round trip in the SHO, so I got to hear it run for a long time. I don't hear that noise any time other than startup. Do you think that I should be using 10w30? It doesn't consume any oil, it just leaks...

Howdy! I drive a 94 Taurus SHO 3.2 with almost 150k, and have been using Pennzoil Platinum 5w30 and Motorcraft FL400s for the last few oil changes, usually using around a 5-6000 mile OCI. Occasionally on startup, the motor will rev up to around 2-3 grand for a second and I'll hear what sounds...
