    Melling oil pumps are a waste of time and money.

    07navi is a troll. See his OP. Just an opinion he expresses out of the blue. He’s a self proclaimed Ford oil pump expert all of a sudden. He even knows more than Ford tech Makuloco! This moron is a 16 year old Troll !

    How often do you swap out your brake rotors when doing pads?

    I drop all fluids every 3 years which is around 30,000 mi for me. All drive fluids including tranny, coolant, brake, ps, if it’s liquid it’s dropped.

    How often do you swap out your brake rotors when doing pads?

    Search caliper rebuild kit. I rebuilt the calipers on my BMW, had them bead blasted. I painted them and lubed everything and purchased new guide pins along w kit. They were like brand new for just a few bucks.

    How often do you swap out your brake rotors when doing pads?

    Rather than listening to someone’s self prescribed expert opinion on bedding pads, follow manufacturers recommendations. :goofy_batman:

    Had to purchase the 90010 kit

    So I almost purchased the Strutmasters kit then learned they only make the springs and use variou brands for the coil over and shocks. Can’t even tell you what shocks you’ll get. So for $275 I purchased the Monroe kit to replace the Monroe kit on there already, it’s due for replacement. I’ll...

    How often do you swap out your brake rotors when doing pads?

    Quality rotors are inexpensive. Replacement every time is simple, adds 15 minutes to each corner. I also find for my style of driving and towing new rotors mated to fresh pads gives me better stopping power and longevity over longer intervals. So since it’s cheap and easy why not if it’s...

    The whole Rotella subject came up a couple pages back w comments about oil for flat tappet motors. Some idiots comment wo reading or being aware of the context. Diesel engine oils have more zinc which is important to prevent sheer w flat tappet motors. ZDDP is the additive as well as having...

    Anyone ever use powerstop slotted rotors/pads

    I had them on my 1st gen Expy. After a year the rotors warped. Now I have motorcraft. 3years and not a shudder.

    why wouldn’t I? Especially for flat tappet motors. You do know what flat tappets are right?

    You must not have read previous posts. We are discussing oil w high levels of ZDDP for flat tappet engines not modern engines.

    Rotella may indeed be used in both gas and Diesel engines. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shell_Rotella_T https://www.bobistheoilguy.com/forums/ubbthreads.php/topics/2238978/using-rotella-diesel-oil-in-a-gas-engine#Post2237325
