[QUOTE="EddieS'04, post: 1034398, member: 61136"] I originaly voted to switch. After seeing your milage. I would switch to a high milage syn-blend. If you dont start seeing seals leaking, stay with it. Not sure about full syn. Only if that is what it has been using. IMO, High milage syn-blend should be ok. With a premium filter, you should get longevity between oil changes. Good wires, spark plugs use motorcraft or autolite platinums, work the best in our 4.0L motors. Coil not needed until it goes bad. Some dont recomend the flush especialy with chemicals. If the previuos owner has been doing flushes. It would be ok, flush with fluid only. Be sure to use motorcraft mercon5. IMO at your milage, if it has never been serviced. I would change the pan fluid and filter. Buy a drain plug. So you can dump the pan several times. That will freshen the fluid somewhat. If you start having trouble with the trans shifting wierd like a 2cnd to 3rd gear flash. There is an updated gasket for the valve body. If the rear axle has never been serviced. It is time. Make sure if you have the limited slip unit. Be sure to add the 4oz bottle of motorcraft limited slip conditioner. [/QUOTE]
