It was a lovely day today in Rockville MD., so I took advantage of the situation & decided to get some work done on the 6, as well as explore her little better. The only surprise was a good one... no additional rust discovered & I have a "K&H dialable" brake proportioning valve installed. The PO told me it was time for an oil change & I had scored a genuine owners manual for the 6 on eBay & had been reading. Nine & a half quarts every 3k mi. & the tranny every 6k mi.? I wanted a fresh start so I did both. The engine took me 10.5 quarts... I don't have a 2.0 I have a 2.7... I hope that's normal. Changed the filter & cleaned out the strainer... all looked clean or no debris. Bottom of the engine looked dirty though, I think I'm leaking from the strainer & the oil cooler... I will be investigating. I ploped a full 3 into the tranny & got the plug in while it was still gushing out. While I was down there I decided to install a rear sway bar. When I purchased the car I noticed it used to have a rear sway bar but it had been removed for some reason. This made installation a snap. Hardest thing to do was take off the muffler... it is big & somewhat heavy. Tomorrow I clean out the air filters, lube my linkages & am going to check the plugs to see how they are. After that...

Make sure you check the oil level with the car at regular operating temps. It should read halfway between the add and full marks.
