If you guys look around this forum, there is a lot of info on the engines and MTX trannies.
You should be running 6.5 quarts of OIL, in the ENGINE,
5.8 quarts is NOT enough...
And the trannies are prone to burning synchros.
The ATX isn't much better.
They overheat on long highway runs > 100 miles,
and the early Contours
had problems with the ATX pump blowing the pump seals, and burning the Torq Converter Clutch.
