Looking at possibly purchasing this van. It has 74000 miles, 3.9 L v6. 2005 Ford Freestar SE.
My previous vehicle was a 2000 Chevy Venture. Great van but it was totaled a couple of weeks ago.
Can anyone tell me first hand anything in particular about this engine. Is it a good one? Do they use it in other models? In searching online and here I don't find much information about history, common problems, what to look out for.
I have a small stockpile of YB and Shell 5w30, but noticed this van had 5w20 on the oil cap, so guess I'll have to finish the 10w30 I have left in my Maxima.
Thanks in advance for any information.
Richard
