    1990 Ford F250 with 460

    Bought a spare pickup to have around for periodic needs. I've done a lot of searching, haven't found much about the 460. What's your thoughts? It has 131k miles, seems to be in decent condition. Was thinking of running HM Maxlife 10w30... thoughts? Would it be worth it to put something like...

    question on dipstick oil level

    yeah, I get that, but how many qts low does it have to be before it doesn't show on the dipstick? 2 qts? I'm disputing what our mechanic is telling us that the truck was 5-6 qts low when one of my employees took it in for an oil change. I don't see how it didn't seize up... The mechanic says no...

    question on dipstick oil level

    In regards to a truck at work: It's a 2006 Ford F550. V10, 8.0L. For there to be no oil registering on the dipstick, how many qts low does it need to be? It takes 7 qts. Thanks.

    Delo 400 5w40 syn

    Howdy, I was at Wallyworld looking at oil today. They have Delo 400 Syn. Is this fairly new or am I just really slow?? I've never seen it before. Is it similar to Rotella 5w40 syn? Looking for a syn oil for my 05 PSD 6.0L. I was going to go with Amsoil AME, but decided to cancel my order after...

    Is the 6.0L Powerstroke really THAT bad????

    I'll baby the truck with maintenance, I just need it to take care of me for several years. I'm going all synthetic in the diffs, tranny and motor. Whats the definition of excessive idling? For 5 minutes? 30?

    Is the 6.0L Powerstroke really THAT bad????

    so, stick with a motorcraft oil filter? Or just make sure it's the filter that fits in the canister?

    Is the 6.0L Powerstroke really THAT bad????

    I just bought a 2005 F250, 6.0L. It has 90k miles.. I bought an extended warranty for 3yr, 36k miles. Seems like not many people have much good to say about this motor. Who here actually had problems with this motor themselves? I'm needing my truck to last for several years...

    2005 F-250 w/Powerstroke

    Got a F-250, 6.0L PStroke. Looking at several different Air Intakes. I see the replacement filters are like $70. Is it best to stay stock? I can get an AFE on Ebay for $250. What's everyone's thoughts on what I should do. I don't want to jeopardize my motor by letting any extra dirt in... I'm...

    2005 Powerstroke 6.0L

    Just bought an F250 with the 6.0L. Has 90k miles. Was curious how many miles these engines are good for? I know, that's a loaded question. I'm aware they had an injecter issue in 03 and they shear oil. Any worthwhile additive for the fuel to help prevent injector issues? I just ordered Amsoil...

    diesel oil in a gas car?

    I don't agree that it will kill your mpg. I know many, many poeple that use an HDEO in a gas rig. I personally use Amsoil 15w40 full synthetic in my Dodge V10.

    Oil related but not about oils

    I doubt you can really ever get the oil out completely. I've seen a pressure washer help.. Maybe just stain the rest of the concrete with oil and it'll be uniform

    I think I am due some of these riches. I'm pretty sure I have some kin-folk who were on that ship when it happened to sink....I'm sure of it. Who do I sue?
