- I apologize if this issue has been beaten to death in the past and I just missed seeing information about it in the archives. I bought my 69 TR6 last summer, and I would like to hear opinions/recomme

- Can't say if a lighter viscosity oil would cause problems in a TR engine vs. new equipment. I would assume climate would play a part. I run 20W/50 Castrol in my new engine (in CT) and will change to

- While we're on the subject, what about changing over to synthetic, esp if your engine has > 100K? A mechanic once told me that synthetic is slicker and has more detergents, as a result it can cause s

- I guess my question would be why bother? And I have heard the same stories about synth. and high mileage engines, and seals etc.... anecdotal hearsay...not admissable... If it made it over 100K miles

- I prefer Purolator PureONE filters... PL20195 is the one that fits the TR6 spin-on conversion. Or just go to any auto store and ask for the filter that fits any recent Ford Focus 2.0 SOHC, all model

- Two reasons: 1. Added protection at high revs. I just bought the car so I can't comment on how the dino oil has held up or how PO drove her. I may drive her hard on occasion and would like the best

- Michael--The "book" on the TR engine calls for 10W/40 to 20W/50 when the temperatures are 14 deg. F or higher. This same source says to go down to 5W/20 or 5W/30 when below 14 deg. F. This is found u
