For blinker fluid, just put some 10w40, works just fine. I have this old craftsman gas tank spark plug wrench that my grandpa had, its a little rusty but gets the job done. And for exhaust bearing pullers, i use a slide hammer with a toggle bolt type dowhackie on it, works like a charm.

WHAT, ARE YOU STUPID?!?! Blinker fluid is INCOMPATIBLE with motor oil!! They're two different fluids! Geez!!! Why are you going and giving bad advice?!?!

There are several brands who make good blinker fluid ("turn signal fluid", to be technically-correct). Personally, I prefer Castrol-brand (don't confuse with motor oil!).

And while you're there, you might as well get some Headlight fluid. Actually, I've heard Valvoline has started making some all-in-one Light fluid (for headlights, turn signals...EVEN TAILIGHTS!!!). Let me know if you have any luck finding these items, as I'm running kinda low myself, and can't really find any anywhere.

Get the synthetic blinker fluid. It's $7 more per quart, but your bulbs will last 50% longer.

Havent heard this one in a while but have just researched it for you.

And A Ford Truck needs no fluid it just goes on and on and on!!!

As for the turning there is no need to just keep going and explore where no other truck will atempt to go!!

You should buy a 55 gallon drum of blinker oil and carry it in the bed of your truck. Buy synthetic. According to my 82 year old dad, since we have Fords, they leak naturally and require alot of extra oils, etc.

Did you know that on cool nights early in the fall, you can hear a ford rust?

My 1983 AND my 1984 F-150's DONT leak anything. Knock on wood...

You've got to be kidding me, I have been using 10w40 for the past 15 years, not a single problem! People always know where to move when I hit that lever behind the wheel.
