Yes thats the reason I was going to use it because of what Terry Dyson had said. I make a lot of short trips, and currently drive in very high temperatures it will be 100 degrees in Oklahoma City today. Would LC be beneficial to me, or should I just leave the GC alone and see how it does on my...

Hello everyone. I just wondered if anyone had an opinion as to whether I should use LC with GC on my first run or not, or should I just use GC without any LC at all? I'll be finishing up the arx rinse phase in my 95 Explorer soon, and am planning on changing the oil with GC. I'm going to change...

so should I have not used the mercon,it was what I had on hand and I'd heard of others using it in their p/s speced for type f. Should I change it out with p/s fluid or type f atf? Could it damage my power steering system?

Okay guys I changed some of the old fluid out using the M1 Mercon, about 7-8oz today, using the turkey baster method. I will probabley do the same next week. Does anyone know why it was speced originally for type f atf? It seems the mercon would perform a lot better. I don't know what kind of...

Hello all, I'm trying to figure out which fluid to use in my p/s system my 95 explorer specs type f atf, but I have heard of people using mercon atf, or p/s fluid. Which would be best? I'm planning on getting the fluid out using the turkey baster method. Can I use the m1 mercon atf, I have left...

That's what I was thinking also.

Hi everybody, just wanted see what you think I should use for my application. I saw some VSOT, on cleareance at O Reilley's,(didn't buy it but hid it so i could come back later). I already have a gallone jug of LC to use, should I use LC or VSOT my next oil change. I will be changing the oil...

please try to correct your spelling errors before submitting so people know what your talking about. And yes auto-rx is awesome, just follow the instructions on the bottle, and you'll be all good, and i really hope your not planning to sue auto-rx.

currently my tires are about 10-11psi above factory recommendations, but then again it's a 95 ford explorer that specs on the door jamb 26 psi. the tires on it now have 44psi as max, I usally inflate tires to about 35-37psi, anything more than that and ride is really harsh, and feels...

That is why, im probabley not going to want to have a huge stash like others on BITOG. Also, I'm considering it as more of a hobby, with economic benifits on the side.

What is your opinion on stashing motor oil? I know many of you participate in this pass time. I'm wondering if I should stash a few oil changes worth of oil. With the ever increasing cost of crude oil, it might make economic sense. I was thinking maybe 20qts of TropArtic WM ($1.48) and 10 to...

thanks for the information 1040 Wreckerman, the manual for my explore says 10 quarts total capcity, not 10.8 though, i guess ill find out when i go to get it flushed.

Well the 4r55e in my 95 Explorer 4.0L OHV, says use Mercon in the manual, and on the dipstick, but i don't know if mercon v had even been marketed yet.

So what is Wolf's Head oils market segment? I have never seen it or heard about it before at all.

Hello all, sorry to ask a repetitive BITOG question, but need some suggestions. I have finished the auto-rx treatment on the 4R55E transmission, (actually im about 700 miles over yikes). I was going to use SF Autoglide, but since its now almost $20 more per gallon, im looking for cheaper options...

Hey guys I just had a few questions, about the coolant in my 4.0L OHV V6 Explorer. I know that it is the traditional green coolant. What are the advantages/disadvantages of replacing it with G-05? Should I stick with the good old regular green? BTW, how bad is running a very strong concentration...

That is one of the reasons I'm currently using Auto-Rx in the transmission, and then switching to SF Autoglide.

Sorry guys in my post I mentioned the OHC I mistyped, what i really want to know about is the OHV engines, sorry for the confusion

Hey guys, just wondering if anyone has had any experiances with Fords 4.0L engines, specifically the OHC versions? How reliable are these motors? I was just given a '95 Ford Explorer, and was wondering what parts are prone to failure, hopefully it's not prone to cracked heads like the 2.9L. All...
