    Oil Filter Help

    I was unable to get any of my filter wrenches on the oil filter but was able to get the filter off by hand. Is there a filter wrench that works on the Mark 8?

    Oil Filter Help

    No electrics

    When I tried to start our 94 Mark 8 to leave work this afternoon, I heard only a single soft click. I then noticed that none of the electrics (lights, horn, gauges, etc.) were working. It was as though the battery had been disconnected but the battery cable clamps were tight and the connections...
