    Motorcraft 5-20, 3200 miles, 00 Contour V6

    I had tried M1 0-40 for 12 months and 12k miles. The oil held up OK but the wear numbers were poor. Went back to 4k miles on the 0-40 shown above. When I tried MC 5-20 I got fussy, changed the oil, ran the oil for a day then new filter and another fresh 6 qts of oil so there should not be any...

    Walmart dropping Motorcraft 5-20?

    Went to Walmart today and found they were out of Motorcraft 5-20 again. Then I looked closer and saw that instead of just being empty, the row of 5-20 had been replaced with 5-30 and the 5-20 price sticker on that area of the shelf was removed and replaced with a stiocker for 5-30. Only choice...

    Teflon spray lube

    Anyone here have experience with "SuperLube" teflon spray lubricant? I have been using it recently with great results. It penetrates and loosens like WD40 but it leaves a real live teflon grease lube after the solvent dries.

The pictures can't tell us how good the filtering is. Over at the UOA area...

    Ford Zetec engine filter question

    I changed oil and filter on a 99 Contour 4 cylinder Zetec engine the other day. Assumed it was the common Motorcraft 400 (Fram PH3600 for reference)that is used on many Ford products. Double checked to make sure and found it called for a Motorcraft 2005 (Fram PH8316). I was curious and checked...

    MPG 30 vs 40 wt

    I know there was some previous discussion here on the difference 0-30 vs 10-30 makes in MPG. Has anyone seen any noticable difference in MPG when switching from x-30 to x-40 wt oils? I like M1 0-40 but wonder if there actually would be a noticable drop in MPG compared to 0-30.
