* >> > I have been using Mobile One 15-50 in the cars and the guy said a
possible

reason for my oil pressure to take 30 seconds or so to come up

ironically is;

the oil is too viscous at 65 degrees F! He suggested the 5-40. I

think

perhaps

it is
where Ford located the oil pump in the modular V8. On the cranks

nose,

up out

of the oil level. As you might note the Chevy small block V8 had the
oil pump down in the pan submerged in oil all of the time.

Paul, that's why I sent you the little gear pump, so you can make

yourself a

pre-luber.

Nah I am just going to sell the Mercury lemon. Real shame. I like the way

it

rides and handles. Robin and I are waiting for the RX8. In the
mean time we also need a Honda mini van. The Dodge was way too

maintenance

intensive.

I have several friends that love their Odessys (sp?), with the primary
problem that they are in short supply, so you WILL pay full retail.

You'll

like the vehicle and the reliability.

* He He...I didn't! I also got the ONLY one out of Family Honda in RSM
without the try to sneak it in with out you knowing $4000 mark up special
consisting of 2 roof rack cross over bars, Locking Lug Nuts, and "another"
stowage net.  We went back and forth for Hours and two trips. I also always
bring all 4 boys! But I got it sight unseen at the price I wanted. (about
$1500 under MSRP..they made plenty)
