    0-30wt 0il

    No problem in running the 0w30. It will almost be like a 5w30. Since you figured your problem out, having the 0w30 is the least of your problem. Run it till your OCI is up.

    Gas Mileage

    I wouldn't use a chip where you have to open the computer and soldier it in. Don't know if that is what they use or what. The safest if you get one to plug in to the diagnostic port. For me, I don't do any modifications to my vehicles. It is expensive enough to buy, maintain, and trying to...

    2005 sport trac xlt throwing coolant everywhere

    Just did mine. I had my alternator failed. And while I had the hood up, checked my thermostat housing. Leaking at where it joins. I was watching that since I learned it is a common failure item. Replaced it. I had to go online to buy a metal one. How is the radiator?

    2002 ST Driver door says "DOOR AJAR"

    1. No 2. Moving 3. No 4. Inside 5. Rear I have noticed the sound when the cab is flexing. I realized it was coming from rear passenger side. This evening, while stationary, I put pressure at rear passenger side door to try to flex cab in that corner. It made that sound.
