    FL-400S Motorcraft on a Toyota

    thanks for all the replies. The major problem about the filter in question is the difference between a 94-95 Landcrusier and the 97. Most books quote the smaller filter for the later. Also some filter guides quote a different PCV between the two. Yes I have used an FL-1A and FL-300 for that...

    Best oil for my Mercedes 420SEL

    I use Mobil 1 15w-50 in my 560SEC. Look in your owners manual and the oil weights listed tend to be on the "thick" side. I believe the reason is because its a 2 valve push rod design. Dealership uses or use to, 15w-40 here in Virginia. Come wednesday, the dealership is doing the 45,000 mile...

    Used Tractor Hyd. Fluid...New Holland 134D&G

    New Holland 1997 7740 SLE 16x16 transmission 86hp Good question about what kind of cooler it has, I don't know. The cooler is located in front of the radiator on a slide so that you can clean the chaff off it. I'll check tomorrow to see if there is a manufacturer's data plate on it.
