ARCO that is correct. Ford uses the Volvo chasis in this car. The AWD system is also Volvo. Verified that years ago while on the lift. ARCO I love that name. I'm 43 and remember the old Atlantic Richfield gas stations here in SE PA as a kid. And the old oil cans that said ARCO Graphite. Cool...

As for highway MPG, we have never seen anything above 22.0. Took tyhe car on a trip two weeks ago down to Virginia and round trip average was 20.8 That was cruising at 70 MPH, also includes stop and go.

That was my plan to dump this fill around November. I will refill with some 5W-30 for winter and go back to a MC FL-400S filter.

The 3.5 V6 seems to have good power just MPG blows. My aunt has a 2010 Ford Edge AWD with the same motor. She only gets 15-16 city too. Better than ours by a little. Maybe the Chevron 15w40 will clean up the Supertech that was left in for 8400 miles. I will have to see if if there is a...

The wife's car was due for an oil change, I let it go longer than usual this time, 8400 miles in six and half months. Last change was supertech 5w30 and a mC FL400s. For this oil change I did yesterday, I wanted to use up some oddball stuff lying around in the garage. I had a unopened four...

Drained out Carquest brand full synthetic 5W20.

Drained out the uniblob mix that was in the mower which i put in a few weeks ago. That mix consisted of Coastal 30 Wt 12 0z, 4oz of Pennzoil bar chain oil, and 4 oz of Valvoline 2-stoke oil. Drained and refilled with Valvoline SAE 30 weight. I ran it for 15 minutes and then drained and refilled...

44,816 Miles on my wifes car

Just got back from my friends garage. On vacation this week so I figured I'll do the oil change in my wife's car. I work at a Ford dealer in parts. I always run Motorcraft filters, but a Napa store is only a mile and a half away from my freinds garage, so I got a Wix gold at jobber price. I do...

I did not know they were made in the USA, I did not know Purolator and the Mann were the same, for this filter. I thought all Mann Filters were made in Germany. The Motorcraft is a Purolator too. I'll just stick with the Motorcraft.

I was just wondering if the Mann had better filter media for a once a year oil change at 9k-10 k OCI.

Trip to work is 12 miles one way. First 10 miles is all highway avg speed is between 55mph and 70 mph. Last two miles is all traffic lights and stop and go.

I always use a MC 820S oil filter on my 2008 Crown Vic. I was thinking of switching to a MANN Ml-1006 for this car. Do the members here think that quality wise either one has an advantage? I was doing OCI's at 4-5k a year with 5w20 dino. I was thinking of doing a once a year OCI now. I only...

Used any left over oil in the garage. Drained all three bottles. 12oz of Coastal SAE 30wt 4oz of Pennzoil bar and chain oil 4oz of some old Valvoline 2-stroke oil Ran whatever I had left. The old Sears with a B&S runs fine. She normally gets Sae 30 weight. Whatever I find for a buck or two. Toro...

Would anyone here run a 0w40 Mobil 1 in a new car that calls for 5w20 or a 5w30, while it is in warranty yet? How about when it is out of warranty? Would you run say a Mobil 1 0w40 if you lived in New England or the upper midwest? How would a manufacturer know if you even used another weight...

Would Mobil 1 0w40 be ok for 2008 and newer domestic car catalytic converters? Reason is I thought the higher zinc and phosphorous levels would prematurley age the cats.

My two favorites are from.....Weihenstephan.....and Ayinger....for the wheat beers.

I am real partial to my old Winchester Model 12, and an old Remington 870. That old Winchester is smooth and slick as butter.

Had a customer bring in a VW Jetta for state inspection and an oil change. Engine was a 1.8 turbo. The tech asked me for a filter and what kind oil to run. I was out of the MC filter, so I called the local VW dealer, to see what they run in this motor. They told me Castrol syntec 5w40. So I...

For the new diesels with the cats, and egr systems, our truck mechanics use Shell 15w40 out of 55 gallon drums, as spec by Ford. A very high quality oil. Customers with the 7.3 diesels we use Motorcraft 15w40, or some of the customers ask for the Motorcraft full syn 5w40, of course at a higher...
