only going through the mountains of West Virginia, it's redline all the way to the top, Brakes are Red all the way to the bottom. Do you think putting an oil cooler on it would make more sense? towing a ford flex adds a lot of extra weight

Purchased a Class A Motorhome on an F53 Chassis with 7.3L V8 Godzilla Triton Motor it uses an FL-820S M22x1.5 threads I feel that moving 26,000 lbs needs a bigger filter. but I am unable to find one. are there any options out there? ,

Thank you 1JZ_E46, I am looking for an Oil that Meets or Exceeds the Ford specification (for Warranty) If Amsoil, Lucus or Castrol meet and Exceed Motorcraft then by all means I will look at them for my next oil change. I just want this beast performing at it's best.. The Service Rep said...
