Ford agent in our city gave me SAE 10w-30 oil saying that it is now recomended by Ford Co. I noticed that it was written Diesel and I asked him and he said that diesel oil can be used for gasoline vehiicles but not vice-versa.. Is that right or he was cheeting me? My ford is Frod 2000 explorer

Oil in diesel engines is more prone to fuel contamination than gas engines are. An oil designated diesel will work fine in a gas engine. As to the sae rating, I tend to prefer a 20W 50 in nearly all engines, or a good synthetic. But if following their recommendations keeps your warranty in effect do as they tell you.

How do you remove the ignition switch from a 1993 jeep Cherokee? Apparently the key switch activates a lever or or rod inside the steering column that operates this switch but how do you get it apart? we tried removing the lower dash and then removing the bolts on the under side of the column but were stuck at that point.
