By the way, i am loving the Goodyear Eagle Sport tires. Great grip, hard to break them loose.

Treat JP8 like kerosene and mix it with diesel.

End of an era, it was a good ride. Hopefully they do find something to do together. Honestly, there was discussion of retiring after a few more seasons going about the internets. But practically forcing it was the problem.

Goodyear Eagle sports 225/60/16 V rated on 1996/1997 Sport wheels

Coil pack was bad, and one oxygen sensor had a busted wire. mechanic replaced both left bank sensors and i put on the new coil pack, and new plug wires. 310 bucks for the labor on the plugs and sensors. Not too bad. The coil pack is a duralast, anyone got any complaints about theirs? I got what...

On the taurus forums they say just run green coolant and back flush it every 30k. The 1996-2007 Taurus has a flaw in the cooling system, the heater core is at the lowest point of the system so it gets all the gunk stuck in it. The Duratec does not get these issues.

I was thinking of just using Mobil 1 or pennzoil platnium 5W20 with a napa platnium filter.

I took a friend's car I was borrowing to Sears to get an oil change, he told me just to use the oil he had in the trunk (Valvoline Max Life and a FL820S MC). It was part of the deal for me to borrow the car for a few weeks. Sears only charged me 10 dollars for the service, performed an alignment...

I would give them the benefit of the doubt on this one. View it as getting a quick flush of your oil pan thanks to having it changed twice in quick succession.

I use Motorcraft filters mostly due to them costing about the same as a Fram or Purolator. I was sold on the whole "Fram has cardboard/fiber so it is bad" mentality until this thread. Now I can actually appreciate their design, how it actually does make some sense to do it their way, but the...

The photos are from craigslist, I forgot to add that.

The photos were taken in late 2014/early 2015. I plan to take more once I get home again, weather was not cooperating with me.
