I use amsoil 5w 20 and a hasting oil filter it has the lowest friction of all the syn oils and hasting filters are the best. http://www.amsoil.com/

Motorcraft 5W-20 Synthetic blend every 3,000 miles. My oil never gets offended when I change it. ;)

Royal Purple 5w-20 is great stuff. Pennzoil Platinum is also a full synthetic.

[scruff]

usually royal purple 5-20 or 30 valvoline in the transmission

[TAKEDOWN]

I'm gonna try Royal Purple on my next oil change!

[2,4shofast]

Mobil 1 5w20 extended performance and change it every 10K or 6mo.

doyounochef: as you can see from the answers above, people use many different brands. The short answer to your question is "use whatever oil gives you that warm and fuzzy feeling and change it at an interval appropriate for your driving style."

Today's oils are far superior to those of 10-15 years ago. The rule of thumb today is that conventional mineral oil can go 5,000 miles, synthetic-blends 7,500, and full synthetics are generally good for 10,000 miles.

Royal Purple is a great oil...use it with no worries.

One thing to pay closer attention to is the filter. Use the factory-recommended Motorcraft FL820S...it's the best value-for-money out there. WIX and NAPA Gold are also excellent choices. Mobil 1 and K&N are also high-quality filters, but very pricey for no added value. Avoid FRAM.

I used to use Royal Purple then I was able to get a deal on AMSOIL full synthetic. So far have about 2k miles on the present oil change and the oil still looks fresh. I'll continue to use the AMSOIL now since I can get a deal on it and a lot of the local 8,9,10 sec race car owners in my complex all run it in their muscle cars and use it on their clients vehicles.

When I change the oil next time I'm going to send off another sample to BlackStone labs for them to take a look at it.

I always used Valvoline 5w20 but put Royal Purple in a few months ago because she does not get driven too much. I like it. No rattle on startup.

[magindat]

No rattle on startup.

That's part of what I like about the Redline...

[rkk]

Mobil-1 5w30 Extended Performance, every 6 months.

[doyounochef]

First of all thank you all with your post!!!:bows:so by reading all the info I take its safe to say full synthetic is the way to go

[Vortech347]

Motorcraft filter and Blend FTW!!

However in my stang I run Royal.

[MitchB]

Mobil 1 5w-20 extended performance + Motorcraft 820S filter every 3000 miles or 6 months.

[Vortech347]

Oh and Royal in the Toro mower. It didn't like redline very much

[252life]

Here is what I used in mine last oil change, Meguin 5w-30 API SM

[B.C. Bake]

WTF...Another Oil Thread. :lol::argue::bandit::confused: :flamer:

[illwood]

I run Amsoil 5W-20 and either a Motorcraft FL-820S or a NAPA Gold 1372 filter.

I change my oil every 4,000 miles.

[justbob]

[Blackened300a]

Royal Purple with a Motorcraft filter. I just did a oil change yesterday with oil that was last changed before Carlisle and it was still very clean.
I also use Royal purple in the diff.

[Marauderjack]

Hey Rich.....

How do you suppose a different oil prevents rattle at startup??:confused:

I remember someone saying the mechanical noise in his engine was greatly reduced with Penzoil synthetic......interesting!!:c ool:

[FordNut]

Been using Mobil1 but thinking about switching to Royal Purple with this engine. Using Valvoline dino for break-in.

[DOOM]

Royal purple 5w-20 EVERY 3k miles.
