Oil:
Hello fellow newsgroupers! I have a 91 5.0 LX with approximately 102,000 miles on the motor. Two weeks ago I changed the oil (Valvoline Max Live
10w40) and filter. I went approximately 1500 miles past my normal 3000 mile change.I have a few questions...
- Does the gauge display oil pressure?
The gauge from mustangs of that year, is a vertical indication which reads "N-O-R-M-A-L" with the N at the top of the normal range and the L at the bottom. My gauge at idle hover right at or below the "L", but rises to about the "A" during normal driving.
- Is this normal, should I be concerned? I checked the oil level, and that is good. If not, what corrective actions should I take?
Electrical:
At idle, or a stop light, (during the day with the air conditioner running), the charging indicator will dip down close to the - (negative) symbol on the gauge. At night with the air conditioner and lights on (once again at idle or a stop light) I get the same indication. However the needle will move upwards to the + (positive) symbol during normal driving.
Same question as above. Is this normal, should I be concerned? If not, what corrective actions should I take? Any advice is appreciated.
