Don't worry about the name of the product. What you need to consider is the specifications on the oil, listed below.



For our applications, it meets CI4+ so its fine for diesel applications.
It also meets the SL rating, so its fine for gasoline applications as well.
Large marine engines are usually diesel engine.

I heard about your problem last week... from the information I have, I'd suggest trying to tap it with a small screw from the top and try pulling it out. Or try turning over the engine hoping that the compression will force it out. Failing those two options, you may have to pull the head out completely.





LOL!! Don't be embarrassed, when I got my truck I was wondering the same thing. The owners manual shows the location on page '10-3' but the picture they have is kind of confusing. It's actually under the intake manifold close to the front of the engine. It's actually a very weird spot....look at the picture below for a guide. (Went off-road in the rain last week, that's why the engine dirty)

Cooper all that you mentioned I want to try but coward to try it if yuh understand what I mean

I know what you're talking about....there is the obvious risk that the tip will fall into the cylinder. Can you get a picture of the problem? Maybe the other guys may have some suggestions.

Will try this weekend

question does the bt50 come with the variable vane turbo on the wlt engine ? cause i was told by the sales rep when i was checking them out he said that it come with a that.

_________________

^ no the WLT engine comes with a regular turbo.

Only the common rail 2.5 TDCi WLC and 3.0 TDCi WEC engines come with the variable vane turbo's.

The WLT is a direct-injection, fixed-vane turbo.


Also, the BT-50 comes only with the WLT engine, SSL doesn't bring the other engines down normally - the 2.5 TDCi engine is available but by special request only and you'll only get it in automatic.


The Ford Ranger engine codes are WLT, WLC and WEC... The BT 50 engine is the MZ-DE (that's the direct-injection, normal turbo) and MZ-CD (the tdci version, with Variable vabe turbo).

how can you prevent diesel from foaming when yuh pumping diesel in yuh tank? cause it annoys the hell out of me when i have to wait for the foam to die down then continue to pump

what i do is cut the nozzel pressure when it gets closer to being full. I cut it more and more till it full.

^^^ that!.........

hey guys, can anyone tell me what happens if $40 of kerosene is mistakenly filled in your tank? i have a 2004 model ford ranger

If you have the WLT engine, nothing really... just fill the rest up with diesel and run as normal - but don't over-rev the engine too much.

I having a small problem with my ranger. Its an '08 3L auto, I was traveling at about 60Kmph and all of a sudden the person in front me mash brakes. I mashed down too, van stopped but I got a jerk on the brake pedal when i mashed down full. What can be the cause of this?Anyone ever experienced this problem? BTW the rotors and brake pads are good.

your abs kicked in normal for the sudden brakes.

so are u saying thats normal for it to jerk? Been monitoring trying to see if it happens again but its working normal with no jerk....very strange

probably there was some dust or something on your pads... When last your machine your rotors?

Haven't Machined them,bought the vehicle used and don't think the previous owner ever did it.
