    Leather conditioner recommendations?

    Mail order or get at your local Tandy Leather store. This even smells like new real leather. They have leather cleaners, too. https://tandyleather.com/products/dr-jacksons-leather-conditioner-8oz?_pos=1&_sid=3364b2f83&_ss=r

    Change Oil on age or miles?

    Many turbine generator and hydro power plants never change the oil. They do frequent oil analysis and add treatment products as needed. Pete - didn't you spend time on aircraft carriers? Do you know if they changed oil in the steam turbines?

    Change Oil on age or miles?

    LOL. Excellent point. Some time at operating temp is required to evaporate the water absorbed during the start warm up cycle. Hot oil flinging off the crank will certainly evaporate the water over time.

    Change Oil on age or miles?

    Pete - I know you already knew the answer. Age is not a factor for oil alone. Now, if an engine sits for years and only gets started periodically and run in place, the water content in the oil will increase with every start and that is not good. Then the aged oil with increasing water content...

    Oil pressure gauge fluctuation - Yes, another one

    I checked sw8368, sw5192 noted above. NAPA carries both these part numbers. Both are switches for idiot lights, not variable for gauges.

    Transaxle Cooler Kits - Available

    Brake fluid loves to absorb moisture/water. The water in the fluid boils at a much lower temperature than fresh clean fluid. The bubbles cause the soft or no clutch.

    2005 Ford GT Window Sticker

    Did you call Ford Show Parts? Used to be, that was the only way to get it. A person needs to look in your cars file at Ford for the one extra window sticker. Maybe somebody already ordered it?
