I changed the oil in my 2001 taurus tonight with 113,350miles. It had 3300 miles on the maxlife 5w20, I'm keep the OCIs short because I had a UOA show positive with a small amount of coolant 10K ago. I've been using a HM oil just to see if it would make any difference.. I'm not going to replace the head gasket as its not cost effective. I took a UOA sample to send in and I saw a little glimmer in the oil so we shall wait for the results.

Here I got the car up on ramps, placed my wheel chocks behind the back wheels and put my jack stands up for a safety precaution. Getting ready to dump the old oil.
This is what I have lined up for the OCI. A very fresh batch of PHM 5w20 and a FU3600, I bought 5 of these when they were on sale 1.5yr ago for $5 before I knew of the small coolant leak.
Getting ready to put the oil back in and then I'm done.
And this would be complete without a picture of my trusty sidekick. This is Dakota who we've had exactly for 2 years now, she as born 6/8/12.
