Hello guys, I'm not completly new here because I already post for my 1994 explorer, but today I need you for questions about my 1987 Bronco II XLT automatic transmission. So I'll try to explain you the problem: I bought this vehicule last in feb 2016, when came back home the transmission...

Many thanks, I will let you know what will be the decision, bought that sell for parts aerostar or bought a rebuilt A4LD, not the same price...

Thanks for your replies, So do you think that he can buy that sell for parts aerostar 4.0 and change his A4LD? @ Natenkiki: you talk about early years, so the year of the aerostar has to be take in consideration? @ Brooklyn bay: I saw that you're an aerostar owner, would you run the risk to...

Hello:) One of my friend broke his A4LD transmission on his explorer, please let me know if A4LD from an aerostar 4.0 will fit on his 1993 explorer? Many thanks

Many thanks for your replies:thumbsup: explorer's owners in France are very rare so your help is welcomed:) I will let you know and I hope to solve the problem

I bought that explorer 10 months ago, the previous owner only drive it 2000 km during his last three years, so this car was sleeping in his property... Do you think I can add 5w30 gradually? Or like you say replace the whole oil by 5w30?

Thank you for your answers, but don't forget that I live in France, weather might be different than yours... So when you say that 5W30 will do best all around, do you mean that I can keep that oil the whole year?

Hi Natenkiki, last time when the garage make the oil change, he put 10w50. That man use to work many years for chrysler, so I thought it was good oil... But one of my friend (bronco II owner) told me that 5W30 is the best, just as you. So next time i'll bought that oil;)

Hi vq5speed? So I confirm you that's there's no leak, an old car with high mileage do consume oil but my explorer is only 190 000km (115 000miles) My mechanical skills are weak so I will Check with my stepfather and check PCV valve...

Hi Wolfie, thanks for your reply, no leak on my explorer because There's no mark on the floor, yes I change oil, it's 10W50, Yesterday I bought 10w40, I think I will refill with this one. I can't tell you about PCV valve because I didn't check.

I make my oil change 3 monts ago, I drove 1500 km since this operation. I noticed that the check oil light was illuminated this morning, so I check oil level, and I saw that it was on the min! Do you have an idea about what what can be the reason of such a huge oil consomption? My exhaust is...
