Replying to: jethrojackson (Jul 09, 2005 8:08 am) Oil changes at every 5,000. CVT ate every 60,000. The engine uses 5W-20 - that's new for me! Did you know that the same engine is used in the Jaguar S type? Replies to this message: elibruno (Oct 10, 2005 11:54 am)

I don't see one, nor do I see one for the Five Hundred.   I do see one for the FreeSTAR, though.

Replying to: barnstormer64 (Sep 11, 2005 12:11 pm) I just looked and they've taken it off the Freestyle section. It was definitely there. I sent them two e-mails inquiring about the filter. They never responded to my inquires but took it off the site instead. Interesting way to run a business. It was slightly triangular in shape and sold for $25.95 Replies to this message: barnstormer64 (Sep 11, 2005 3:04 pm) jethrojackson (Sep 11, 2005 8:00 pm)

Replying to: jethrojackson (Sep 11, 2005 1:23 pm) Maybe they had simply put it in the wrong place (confusing Freestar with Freestyle)?   Here's a link to the Freestar cabin air filter:   http://www.fordaccessories.com/product/FordAccessories/Cars/Freestar/Freestar-Cabin-Air-Fi- lter/FreestarCabinAirFilter.aspx Replies to this message: jethrojackson (Sep 11, 2005 8:00 pm)

Replying to: barnstormer64 (Sep 11, 2005 3:04 pm) That looks very similar to the picture they had up for the supposed "Freestyle" filter. When I saw the filter up there it gave hope to the possibility that perhaps the housing was there and that all one had to do was buy the filter and they'd be in business.   By the way, have you bought any thing from those folks. I'm a little hesitant to buy stuff from folks who never return e-mail inquires. I've e-mailed them twice over the past week about the filter and never heard back. Now, I see they've pulled the filter but still no e-mail. Leads me to believe that their customer service isn't quite up to par.

Just received this message from fordaccessories.com   "Hello I am sorry but that was a mistake. There is not a Filter for the Freestyle."   Mystery solved. Replies to this message: barnstormer64 (Sep 12, 2005 5:25 pm)

Replying to: jethrojackson (Sep 12, 2005 7:44 am) At least they're honest . . . just slow.

Replying to: vicenac (Sep 06, 2005 10:27 am) Yes- the 3.0 Duratec is the same block used by Jaguar for it's 3.0 S type and X type. Ward's Automotive rated it a couple of years ago as one of the 10 best motors in the world. I have had one Jag and 4 Fords with Duratecs and never had anything but good performance and reliability. One of the reasons that we bought the Freestyle was its engine!
