I don't think there is friction modified in the Towncar and it chatters a bit when making tight turns in parking lots. Won't hurt anything to put it in there.86 Lincoln Town Car (Galactica).

Mine chattered without friction modifier for 45K miles. Serviced and the shop used friction modifier and now it's quiet but just chirps the tires around corners if I big toe the gas. Most likely that's due to the 8-clutch setup in mine.

I know the typical oil weight is 80W-90. However, I know some later (like '07+) police package Crown Victorias were listed to use 75W-140. I'm currently using the 75W-140 in my '97 over the regular 80W-90. Haven't had any problems thus far in that car.
However, I'm wondering if the 75W-140 would be okay in an older axle. I'm just trying to extend the service life of components where possible.sigpic
