Dragon smoke 02 sensor codes

Very sound advice LDUB...

I'll follow your regiment.

One suggestion for you Snow, is not replacing your filter with a High Flow Oiled intake. Or if you do, only run it in the summer.

Every one of my cars I put a high flow in would run like garbage on cold days.

And unless you want to keep up with cleaning your MAF, you'll end up tripping codes down the road.

Filters, unless you have forced induction, are very over rated (IMO) however they do sound, and look cool

I'm sure others will chime in with their experiences, as they pertain to the VX.

Just my 2 lincolns

Again, thanks!
Belive me, Ldub, I did all that and more when i would check the dipstic. I do remeber thye other owner you mention, and that was always in the back of my head.
After the 300 mile 5 hour drive, I gotta say, that performance and milage are back up (of course you idoit, you were driving around with twice the amount of oil in your cranckcase) where they should be. Got my first 300+ tank 'O gas!
I do feel like an idiot, but felt it important to share so this may be avoided by others....
Thanks for not hitting me too hard!
Oh, and Bart, I did use the seafoam.
Any other input on the aftermarket filter VS the standard box?
Best,

glad you got it figured out!

as for filters.. im partial to the aftermarket filter IN the stock box (green performance drop in... or k&n drop in)
