Not quite the shipment Ken bought...but I reckon the MKZ and Edge will be getting an oil change this weekend. This will be the 2nd round of Amsoil for Leena the Hot Rod Lincoln, and the first round for the Edge. Also doing a UOA on the Lincoln, sitting at 10,200 miles since last oil change. Thanks for the hook up Chris.

Oh...and a special guest appearance by the Turbine rim that Bert sent me, and a cameo by a box full of emblems or hubs...can't remember which.

Nice, I'm glad to see you got your order and are helping Chris grow his client base. Let us know how the oil looks after it's been used for 10k and how much oil remains vs. what you put in.

If you talking about you 68? i think< theres a few things to keep an eye on. Does it currently leak or use any oil? If it leaks the leak may APPEAR to be worse on Synthetic oil. Thats only due to the Synthetic's molecular makeup to be more perfect and flows better and into tighter spaces and will expose cracked gaskets, same with the engine if its burning alot.

at the same time it may reduce burn off because it has a lower NOACK Volatility, which is burnoff of oil at a certain temperature over a period of time.

For older engines, I suggest our Zrod Oil, Its extremely high in Zinc, also has anti-corrosive additives to keep internals from getting a layer of rust etc from condensation buildup.

Benefits of Amsoil in a Nutshell for all vehicles..

Reduced opperating cost over an extended period of time with extended drain intervals, while still providing more protection than a conventional.

Flow rates. they MASSIVELY out flow conventionals in cold weather.




If theres any other questions i can answer them.

Ok,thnx.

I changed my oil about 2 yrs ago...dont worry,I dont drive it much,an
I monitor it all the time,its only used a half a quart,there is some leakage
at the intake,which Im going to replace that very soon.
The oil is still a lite to medium brown in color.But when I do change
the gasket,I was going to change oil...:)

how many quarts does red hold? and do you want 10w30 (i suggest unless bearings are opened up over stock) or 20w50. we have other weights in high zinc formulas just not ZROD.

Yeah, you recommended 10w30 of the Zrod stuff for my 77 and 79......btw, TODAY, my 06 F150, wifey's Expi, and my 77 all have fresh amzoil and filters in them! Feels pretty good.

Did the flush on the expi and 06 going from petroleum to synthetic and the 77 already had the flush a few years ago, so just fresh oil and 2 new filters.....

79 has to wait as I forgot my 77 required 2 filters and I only ordered 2, so I just ordered another one.

Man, those big engines take a lot of oil......the 77 takes 9+ quarts, but it has the additional filter, and relocation lines, so that's why there.
