Kinda in between. Could use a good cleaning. Has almost 2k on it since i last changed the oil and is almost 1Q Low. No oil leaks, trans fluid is brown with no burnt smell to it. Not sure if its low a quart or it wasnt filled up all the way last oil change. All i did was throw oil in it and close the hood. I either put 5.5Q or 6 in it. Dont remeber but i did use the FL500 instead of the FL820.
So when i buy it ima top off the oil with a Q of atf and run it for a few hundred miles then i need to choose what oil i want to use in it. Car will prob be short tripped and has a 6Q capacity. Its been using motorcraft syn blend 5w20 for a lot if its last oil changes. I was kinda thinking a fram ultra and maybe mobil1 0w30.
Motorcraft is what was used in designing that engine.
