    Oil change

    I think you'll need closer to 7 quarts once the filter is filled up.

    What software to acquire?

    I use Wine, a Windows emulator on Linux. It also supports Mac, among other operating systems. http://www.winehq.org/

    Shocks, Great suspension kits

    Not sure about Marauder fitment, but I just installed KYB Gas-A-Just police spec shocks. Great ride when cruising and firms right up when cornering and braking. AFAIK, Bilstein has not made any shocks that fit 03+ Panthers, including Marauders.

    power steering flush

    How many extract/refill intervals does it usually take to clean up the fluid? I've done it quite some time ago on my 00 Marquis. I did one interval on my 06 and so far the fluid looks about the same. I used Mercon V that I had left over from the J-mod.

    What's your cold weather story? (Jan 2014)

    Ahh the deck wood popping! I kept hearing popping noises from outside on/near our deck and I could not figure it out. This makes sense, but can't see anything with the accumulation of snow. This morning was -11 F when I left home. It took a whole 12 minutes to get my car up to temp. It was...

    Addco rear anti-sway bar on 05 MGM

    I disagree. While the Metco and Heinous offerings are superior to stock, sway bars definitely make a bigger difference. That is atleast true compared to the stock NO or 17mm rear swaybar and the smallest available sway bar on Grand Marquis (non-HPP) cars. On my 2000 MGM, I noticed right away...

    Addco rear anti-sway bar on 05 MGM

    A stiff rear sway bar and a not-stiff-enough front sway bar will lead to excessive oversteer and can be dangerous. I installed both front and rear sway bars. It's still a little bit more tail happy than stock, but I am satisfied and it feels well composed. KYB shocks should help, once they...

    License plate flipper

    A license plate mount lined with many high intensity IR LED lights would be cheaper and more effective for cameras and would appear completely normal to the naked eye. Cameras pick up IR and it should prevent a camera from seeing the license plate in it's entirety.

    Oil... buy by bottle or bulk?

    What dealer was it? What oil brand and weight did they have in their container? I'm no professional when it comes to engines and lubrication. Hell, I'm not a professional. I do know that sludge is not caused by the brand of oil, but by the addition of impurities and the breakdown of oil. As...
