Just a smoother idle with the plugs and wires. Mobil 1 is great but why 10w30?  The manual calls for 5w30.

ATF = Automatic Transmission Fluid. I doubt it's a suitable replacement for engine oil 
Watch me be wrong on this somehow - LOL

hector I would of thought your 2000 would call for 5W20 cause I thought it was in 2000 that ford switched to 5w20 to give then a few tenths of a MPH more per vechicle to make them lok better in the gov reports. I know my sister's focus which is a 2000 says 5w20 and my room mates truck says 5w20

Even if you don't have the answer, you certainly have to admire the problem.

Autolite is the only thing I can get locally. I have an O'Reilly's, an independent, and a Ford dealer. The independent did not have anything that would fit, and O'Reilly's only had autolites. The Ford dealer went to O'Reilly's to get autolites.
