Hows it goin
Jus wundering what would be the best maintenance or swap-outs for a EF falcon 5-speed manual with 220,000kms on the clock. I drive around a fair bit. I know it can handle much more but I'd like to keep it for a while and do it up a bit more while keepin it runnin smooth without to many drama's any ideas would be welcome

chaneg the box/diff oil all the normal things will keep it runnign good

chaneg the box/diff oil all the normal things will keep it runnign good sorry frank but i have to disagree on the oil choice. 30w 50 when at operating temp would be no different to 20w 50. for a thick oil you'd need some thing with a higher second number like 20w55 or 25w60 |

My cvars done 650,000km's on the engine runs perfectly on 15W-40 oil that Ford recomends, doesn't use any oil or anything. Why would you need to change to a thicker oil?
