- 97 Mountaineer V8 4x4
I'm going to be purchasing a 1997 Mountaineer with 5.0 V8 and 107k mi.
When going over it, i found that the oil was down about 2.5 quarts. The engine is very strong, and very smoth. WHat kinds of problems could have resulted from it running low on oil at this high a milage?
Also, on the auto transmissio's dipstick (4r70w), how should readings be taken?
Thanks,
Aaron
