Just picked up a '93 Towncar and drove it home from NJ on the remains of its brakes. http://www.ebay.com/itm/221444295240 It has a little wear on the front seat and one dent in the door frame. Otherwise, it's in great condition. It'll be down this month for paperwork and doing the brakes. It...

First run of oil through my caddy after it's resurrection from the junkyard. Used MS5k 10w-30 as the fill and used it for top-offs as well. Pronto oil filter used and same oil was used for adding. An STP "knockoff" was used about 3k into the run. Now it has QSGB 5w-30 and AC filter in the car...

https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=...mp;l=46470f2399 My last 2 OCI's used a leftover Fram from 1988(made by Allied Signal) and a modern Performax(fram clone or contract product?). Both did the job required well enough, but it definitely looks like Frams have only gotten cheaper as time...

I have 2 1966 Chryslers and I alternate which one I use each year. I run the Newport one year, then the 300 the next. Currently, I change the oil and filter and fill the fuel tank and put in Stabil for 2 year treatment before storage at the end of the season. I've been using the new formula...

Car is 1978 Ford Granada 6cyl engine, C4 auto, and WER axle w/ 2.75 ratio. Still on original fill w/ 41k miles. Used for 90 miles highway daily. Would I benefit from the heavier oil or would it throw my mileage into the toilet? Very little to no aftermarket support for this axle and I'd like it...

I've been looking in this sub-forum a bit lately and have a bit of confusion in regards to what is good and what is not. To better help myself in future purchases I've assembled a list of filters(old stock and new) that I have for use on my Fords and Chryslers. One gets high highway miles, the...

I've always done short city/rural type driving but am likely to be starting a job with a 90+ mile round-trip commute. 85% of that will be highway mileage. Car is 1978 Ford Granada 250CID I6 carb engine, auto trans and no accessories with 40k miles. Doesn't smoke or leak. I'd be hitting the 3k...

Howdy. I've just joined here after reading lots of things online that led me here. I drive only older cars currently from 1962 to 1978 at the latest. I've been using 10w-40 Castrol in all of them. I don't drive far enough per year to really benefit from synthetics but am interested to see if I...
