[QUOTE="offroadkarter, post: 12414541, member: 79484"] As said before, 99+ mod motors are all coil on plug, and at 55k miles you shouldn't need coils OR plugs. But if you must change the plugs, motorcraft or autolite are fine. NGK is also a good alternative. For engine oil, I run synthetic 5W30 as per recommendation of ford racing. Ford went from 5W30 to 5W20 in the mod motors back in 99 to improve MPG to meet new gov't standards. Your engine won't blow up on 5w20, so thats your call. For the 8.8, if you get a synthetic 75W140 with LS additives, you won't need friction modifier. (most likely, I've heard a couple cases of people still needing it depending on what they bought) Issues? Is your car a 300a or 300b? (Do you have a dash clock, or a clock in the radio?), the biggest issues are the LCM's failing, the EATC's having Oring issues or blend doors dying, 300a's had axle problems and most of the black cars had paint issues. I've been meaning to ask you for like 3 years now, whats going on with the marauder in your sig? :lol1: [/QUOTE]
