    I must've been mistaken. I thought Purolator made the Mopar filters. Thanks for the picture

    Yes these motors are bulletproof and I was not aware of the rebate on the NexGen oils. Does Valvoline offer the NexGen in a high mileage application?

    Has anyone ever had a UOA done on this particulare oil? Since I don't have any leaks now, does anyone have any input as to if it will prevent future leaks if I use it since it says on the bottle it helps reduce leaks?

    I have heard good things about Purolator filters but the Autozone and Advance near me does not stock the filter for my application. I know Purolator makes the factory Mopar filters but I don't think I should have to pay almost $20 for 1 especially on the OCI's I stick to

    Hello, not a Ford owner but an ASE mechanic. Your particular year Explorer has a sealed transmission which means you will have to take it to a Ford dealership or a reputable service center.
