I am sure Pablo could help me out here.
Anyway, in my time away from BITOG for a stupid drunken prank in the joke section (Sorry again!) I managed to find someone on Craigslist selling some good deals on motor oil and filters.
Long story short, guy gets a DUI, Wrecks his car, Gets License taken away, sells his motor oil/stuff for his Focus on craigslist.
ANYWHO...
that year focus and my year ranger have the same size oil filter, also take Merc V tfluid.
I picked up some AMSOIL OE 0w20 (5Qts for 2.50$ a qt)
two PSL20195 New Purolator synthetic filters (5$ each)
one Fram XG whatever number for my truck (bought for 2$ went and returned to Walmart, picked up a Puro L20195 classic for it)
13 qts of Lucas Multivehicle ATF for 3$ each
and misc Turtle Wax interior and Blue Coral stuff
oh and he threw in a couple of little tree fresheners for the heck of it.
Anyway
The PSL20195 + Amsoil 0w20, I know of XL and SS Amsoil, but not enough about the OE
How long in my truck? I see 90% 60+MPH driving with only 10% below that
I very rarely haul anything over 500lbs
I drive pretty conservatively no laying it on the gas or long idling
0w20 okay when truck calls for 5w20?
With a TBN of 6.9 would an OCI of 7500-10000 sound too good?
OM says oci of 3000, it also specs MC 5w20, Ive run QSUD/Peak Synthetic 5w20 in my truck for 5000-7500k pretty good, not too dirty, still some amber color.
Oh and Ive come to a conclusion, after messing with a turkey baster for 30 minutes, every OCI, im draining the PSF reservoir and topping it off, replaced all my existing sludgy ATF in the Power steering with the Lucas (No Lucas bashing...)
Though the manual says MERC V, the little thingy on the Lucas ATF bottle says in place of XXXXXXXX ATFS and lists a million including Merc V, will this be fine in my Trans?
