Alright!!
Here it is. I have had problems with the oil "guage" shifting around towards the low side lately and my lifters making a ticking noise on startup. I had a friend of mine talk w/ a ford mechanic and he said that my oil pump might being going up. Granted I'm getting toward 88k and its a 91'. The other thought that I had was its getting cold up here in NY and Im running 10w30. I was thinking of flushing it w/ a quart of ATF then draining and running 5W30 Half blend. Maybe I should do both. Does anyone know how to tell if the pump is going for sure?
