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...
