Hi all,
I have recently bought a 1993 Maverick with 298000k on the non turbo 4.2 diesel. I am gonna have a go at a minor service at 300k and am currently looking through the forum for all the tips and tricks. I have looked through the "Preventative Maintenance thread" and have found it has inspired me to have a go.

What I cannot find out is:
1. Are hoses and belts the same for the turbo & non-turbo diesel 4.2 ( I can only find TD42 on e-bay which I assume is Turbo Diesel 4.2)?
2. When changing the oil , is it worth using a flushing solution? If so , which one.
3. Which oil (make & viscosity) have you found gives the best results for a vehicle of this age?

Any assistance is greatly appreciated.
