    Synthetic oil weight

    you dont have to do a complete oil change a 5 qt jug of Motorcraft 5w20 is about $18 at Walmart.

    Synthetic oil weight

    I would get that oil out of there I would not wait 2800 miles. If you are going to wait that long might as well just leave it in doesn't make any sense to me

    No its not telling you the ABS sensor is bad. its telling you that the sensors signal is not what the computer is expecting to see. Its up to the person working on it to interpret the information. The sensor probably is fine. The reason for the sensor code is that the toothed sensor ring that...

    ok thats good with the torch it will be pretty easy. You will need it for the 4 bolts that hold the hub onto the knuckle. Heat the hub where the bolts screw in until cherry red, then they will come right out A air hammer is good to get the hub off the knuckle, mine was so rusted on that it would...

    Car pulling to the right

    good idea on the spare could be a belt is starting to shift in the tire and you cant see it. I used to run a front end rack at a Lincoln Mercury dealer back in the stone age so I have seen my share of issues like this
