I've just purchased a Mondeo ST220 with a Duratec 3.0 V6 lump and 120k on the clock.
I'm planning on swapping out the oil tomorrow with Shell Helix Ultra 5w40 and a Motorcraft FL 820S. Car has dealer service history up till the previous owner who has owned it for the last 4 years and maintained it himself with OEM filters & the cheapest oil that met Ford 913-B with receipts to prove.
The car has recently had new leads and plugs and it runs a K&N 57i which I will clean and oil.
Is there anything else on these Duratec 30 lumps that require maintenance or are common failures?
