Oil Change

[pbkid]

i had a lady come in to my shop a couple months back with an '06 taurus she walks in and tells me she needs her 30k service, when i asked her what type of oil she typically has put in (synthetic, blend, standard) she says well this is the first oil change so i dont know what they put in from the factory.. i say huuuuuh??? turns out she thought oil changes were every 30... instead of every 3.. sure enough it had the factory ford oil filter and everything.. that oil was BLACK

did you advise her to start saving now for a new motor?

Okay, I'll say this again inspite of what others have said against this method (Tone, included. God rest his soul.) I have found the problem with the VX engine oil usage has alot to do with the filler cover "O" ring and PCV valve. Specifically, change that "O" ring every oil change and screw the cover down tight using a pliers, and second only use the Purolator PV 1061 valve, it's superior in every way. With these adjustments oil consumption declines, as less oil is blown into the engine intake system. I know this sounds too good to be true, but try it, it works. We've applied this metod with our two '99's with good success.

Hey blacksambo, at the risk of sounding stupid, where do you get the "O"ring ? I mean is it something you can pick up at like autozone or do ya need to order from merlin ?
