Yeah I was looking at the latest year lowest mileage panther platform car I could afford and ended up with a 07 Mercury Grand Marquis with 89k, After owning a 05 Cadillac SRX that turned into a problem after problem money pit I now want a reliable hwy cruiser.

Well I'm definitely glad to hear about the reliability in the 4.6 V8 that's exactly why I chose a panther platform vehicle. It will be a Texas Highway cruiser for me as I do travel often for Dallas-Austin-Houston. Think I will be going with a 5w-30 Castrol Synthetic oil w/ Wix filter.

Has anybody been using these filters from Wix? XP is there best oil filter in the line just wanted some thoughts.

Calls for 5w-20 but I also live in very warm Dallas TX should I change oil weight? Castrol synthetic?

I know this thread is old but just wanted to show my thanks & appreciation because I always wanted to know more about the pro series K&N oil filter line.

Going to try 1 for my delta 88 PS-2006 will let you guys know the results!

@ Gearhead Tool- Thanks for posting the pics!!! That 4 door delta 88 looks pretty clean! @Clevy- No far no issues at all with the MSD ignition stuff running like a champ. The Oldsmobile 307 is like the Olds version of the Chevy 305IMHO They came in lots of Oldsmobile cars Cutlass, 98 Regency...

As far as my ignition system I went through that earlier this year and did the following: New MSD GM HEI Cap & Rotor New MSD GM HEI coil New MSD HEI 8mm street fire wires New AC delco plugs #41-630 This woke my 307 quite a bit, I saw MSD also makes a module like pertronix but I didn't know...

UPDATE: Decided to try Valvoline Maxlife 10w-30 and K&N PS-2006 filter.

Good point I will re-run my VIN Originally Posted By: SS1970chrysler Originally Posted By: ChevyPusha Originally Posted By: oldhp I'm pretty sure this is a flat tappet cam engine. Add some GM EOS or ZDDP additive (or equivlant) to keep cam lobes/lifter happy. Tip of the hat to keep ol' gal...

@ JimPghPA This summer I had a new A/C orifice tube and accumulator installed, I bought 5 cans of R12 off craigslist it wasn't cheap but nothing beats R12 in this Texas heat my A/C works amazingly. Also had a HD fan clutch installed last summer with a brand new AC delco 3 row rad and a new...

Thanks for everybody's input and advice I really do appreciate it. @ JimPghPA- Whew you wrote a book there buddy! For my exhaust I have a flowmaster 40 with the resonator cut off and I enjoy the sound its really subtle but still you get that great sound. With the brakes I haven't noticed that...

Originally Posted By: 86cutlass307 Thanks for preserving the legacy V8! I still have the Cutlass in my signature with a 307. All I ever used was 10w30 synthetic and a PureOne 20123 or Wix 51045. Only reason I pulled the original was valve guide wear, rear main seal leaking. Easier to work on out...

Thanks for all the advice and stories you guys have shared. The main reason of this thread was to find a conventional Oil to help me with leaks and seals (I know if wont fix but hopefully slow down) Will try to post pics soon!
