Revised Maintenance Schedule

[2000StreetRod]

Listed below are my revised SOHC maintenance intervals based on my 2000 Ford Explorer Owner's Manual, my modifications, my driving habits and my personal preference. I am retired and will probably drive my Sport less than 5,000 miles per year. The engine oil flows thru a front mounted cooler and the radiator cooler. The transmission fluid flows thru two front mounted coolers. I don't drive off road and I only tow a very small utility trailer.
