This is quoted from Terry Haines from
FordContour.org. Terry rebuilds MTX-75s which quite a few NECO and Contour members have installed in their vehicles.
Quote:
DO NOT USE ATF OR EP type oils in ANY MTX75*
*Friction mod is not needed....unless 'you' have an issue with the lube...Stay away from it if you can*
*MY Choice of lubes in decending order:-
1. Motorcraft 'Full Synthetic Manual Transmission Fluid # XT-M5-QS ('honey')
2. Royal Purple 'Syncromax'
3. AMSOIL Synthetic 5W-40 European Motor Oil
4. (General) A Full Synthetic 5W-40 Diesel Engine oil...which includes:-
Mobil Delvac 1, 5w40 (full synthetic, a reformulated version of Mobil 1 which is intended for diesel engines)
Chevron Delo 400, 5w40 (full synthetic version)
Shell Rotella T (full synthetic version, not to be confused with Rotella SB synthetic blend or regular Rotella T non-synthetic)
Thats 'IT'!!!!
