Sorry, I should have given you that: Silver bottle is Synthetic (and says Full Synthetic) on it and Blue bottle is dino. And I have done both online purchase and pick up at store, or have them ship it to home -- Walmart just reduced its price threshold for free shipping to $35 I believe...

Formulations for our oils are changing, so the bottle color may be different with the new oils....

Just left Walmart with 6 gallons of Delo le400 5w40 all they had. Saw a blue bottle of Delo 1300 full synthetic 5w40. Read CJ4 thenCI4 then a few more. I guess this is the new oil? Wish I would have taken my phone in to get a picture because I can't remember squat.

Paid $19.97 plus a .21 cent oil fee.

The blue hose locks in. If it's not a leaker... at some point they all leak.

If you pull on it after it's slid on and slips back off, then twist it 90° so the locking tabs can lock it in place.



For the Delo questions here's what you want.
Delo 400LE full synthetic 5w40 oil available @ Walmart for around $19

Changed my oil, fuel filters, coolant and coolant filter. Delo 5-40 CJ-4 on the oil. Rotella ELC on the coolant. Was already running the red coolant but it had been 50,000 miles so I did a distilled flush and refill. 6 flushes. No sand or junk in the coolant this time. All clear. I guess the coolant filter has done some good.

Love the grill , gave it a very unique look. Where did you get it and I wonder do they have them in chrome. I'd like one for my 99.
Its the Paramount Restyling Raptor style grille, Its sold on a few sites but actually got it from Amazon cheaper. It comes with the letter saying DODD then you buy the F and R off a place on ebay and they replace the first D and the D after the O. That way they have to pay Ford I'm guessing.
