It has the optional wheels the SHO has.  Isn't it AWD?

Nevermind, those wheels are optional on FWD as well. 

That's a sharp looking Taurus.  Good publicity for Ford, some people will give the Taurus a look now.

That's awesome. Hope he enjoys his new car as much as we all enjoy ours.

For transmissions without a serviceable filter, 30K fluid exchange intervals are recommended:

If tuned:  Take note of the strategy code as you return to stock (including 3 bar MAP to 2 bar MAP) -> take car in & get it serviced -> check strategy code when you get car back -> have tuner update your tune if the strategy code has changed -> reload tune -> ENJOY!

TRUE to that,guess thats why they dont recommend changing the original fluid if you exceeded more than 60k on it.

Anybody point me in the right direction to pick up a little knowledge about cold start and warm up, open loop and closed loop, and how O2 sensors are in play for that warm up period?

Good video. Glad you found it. I'll have to look into it on mine. Wonder if that could be part of my issue. Is there any upgrade oil that we can use on our cars? Or should be stick with the ford oil?

I think service interval is key, appropriate for your driving habits.  With performance cars, driven in that style, I feel it is better to stick to severe duty intervals rather than "normal".  If you do that, the Ford fluids should be just fine, though you can certainly upgrade if you so desire.  Full synthetic is preferred pretty much across the board for all the fluids.  One addendum:  brake fluid is not mentioned at all that I can see in Ford's services, but flushing it regularly would be good too, say, every time you change pads/rotors.

Very interesting and educational. I'm thinking this is playing a part in my ongoing KR spike issue.  Thanks again for the tip!

I'm looking at redline, royal purple and mobile 1 as a replacement. Do you know how to find out what transmission I have?  The manual has specs for 3 different transmissions. No numbers on the fill cap maybe on the Trans case.

I have always liked Castrol for oil/trans fluid, some of the best around, if you want to throw that into the mix ;)

After reading into it more I think I'm just going to drain out what I can and put Mercon LV back in since I don't know if redline will mix with it.

So far redline D6 ATF is the only one that says it's "suitable" for Mercon LV replacement. What ever that means...
