Required? Pshhhhh! Bought mine with $112k and I can almost guarantee the previous owner(s) didn't do it at 60k. Nor did I at 120k. The car ran REALLY strong when I got rid of it with 136k miles.

$112k
It is a good idea no matter what YOU did. At least at 100k.

Nope. I thought the V6's were the only ones required to do this service.

I would definitely go with the SHO over the Contour SE. Given the choice though, I'd take a CSVT over the SHO.

Contour, but I don't always do what makes sense: I just love the cars more. I never got into SHOs. Too heavy, too Taurus.

You would think one would surmise that since I own one I might know what I'm talking about.

I got the SHO, but it needs some work done to it. It isn't anything I can't fix.
