coolant and oil
I just did my 2nd oil change (since owning my psd) I went 5000 mi and Im gonna send to blackstone labs to see whats up, I went ahead and did the coolant flush since its the last thing I havent service since I bought it last year. my question is any body have experiance with zerex g05, thats what the oil change place used. I search on line and its supposed to be formulated for ford diesels, what are the pros and cons to this. I was gonna use synthetic but they have vavoline synthetic and everyone here uses either rotella or mobil1, so I didnt know if i should switch. anyway I'm gonna wait and see what blackstone sez about this last oil run and see if Im doin ok with delo400 15/40 dino oil. I only put 7000mi a year on the ole girl anyway so if they say do oil every 7500mi (like most of the post around here are showing) I will switch to synthetic and change oil 1x per year......hows that sound?

I switched my coolant to the GO5 coolant this year, as well as added a coolant filter, billet thermostat housing and 203deg thermostat. so far no problems just make sure you do a good job of flushing out the old green stuff including removing the block plugs and get as much as you can. I flushed mine with tap water first then flushed it twice with distilled water then filled it to 50/50 mix.
