Every time I think about getting rid of my 00 Exc or 05 F250, both with V10, I run across a reason why I just keep 'em. Can you find a way to get 50% better gas mileage , and fix the Ex's rusted out rockers?

The Ex uses about 1Q of oil every 1K miles. 171K miles.

I ordered 12Q of MC LV. Plan to drain the pan, and fill (on the f250). I'll do that every year, which is about 6 to 10K miles.

I did the drain and refill with external filter change on my 07 V10 several times. It was always 8 quarts exactly.

7Q for me. 2000 v10 excursion. I had the front tires 6" off the ground with maybe a little additional incline.
I'll do the filter next. Maybe that's another Q?

The filter - the MC external one - looks like a roll of toilet paper. I'll install it, but are there better alternatives?
