    Winter Witches Brew ?

    Last winter I used M1 0w30 with a Fl820s filter in a 99 E-150 van with a 5.4 engine, 250,000 on the clock. Very nice combo, 98% quiet start-up noise. This summer I decided to try to improve on the start-up noise so I decided to use M1 HM 5w30 with a Fl820s racing filter. Really nice combo, 99.8%...

    tractor gear lube

    I think I screwed up in my dif fluid. The manual calls for 80w. So for about the first 15 years I ran an 80w-90 gl5 gear lube. Then a ford tractor mechanic said the 80w-90 is to thick and to use their trans-hyd fluid, which is the 134 number. I've been using that for the last 15 years or so...
