The Fusion is 10 yrs old with almost 195K and finally removed the VC because it started weeping oil. As I have mentioned many times, the entire head areas was very clean with no varnish. I did take pics, but my computer will not upload to my Photo Bucket account. I plan to get a new computer today, so I will try then to post pics. The Mobil 1 0w20 Advanced Fuel Economy has performed very well in this engine.

You mean it didn't seize up with that inferior, American sewing machine oil after nearly 200,000 miles? I'd start using a 5W-50...

What I would do, since "high quality" pictures aren't needed, is open the picture in question. Then use the Windows Snipping tool and grab what you want; save that to your Pictures folder (as oil1.jpg for instance). Save all you want, then hit this button with the blue arrow on it. Upload your files right into your post.


Just make sure to click the button the left to pick a file, then click the one in the middle (to add); then repeat the left/middle buttons as necessary. Click done when, well, done.

Of course, you could skip the Snipping tool and upload as-is, but you may run into sizing or file size issues--I'd be of no help there, as I'm not that computer savvy I'm afraid.

What's that got to do with how clean the engine is?
