[QUOTE="Jroc, post: 11451494, member: 51847"] By far the favorite oil I've used is German Castrol. It is good stuff and I used it for years in my Terminator, and now use it in my L. IMO it's better than say Mobil 1. I use to use Pennzoil Platinum Full Synthetic and I thought it was very good oil. I've actually thought about trying that new Pennzoil Ultra Synthetic, but am having a hard time splitting from my GC. If you are not going over 3K between oil changes you may as well just run conventional oil. It works just fine if you change it regularly. I go at least 5,000 miles between oil changes, and will go up to 7,500 and not think twice about it. That's one of the main benefits when using synthetic oils. I run a Motorcraft filter, and NGK TR6 copper plugs. Changing plugs in a L is a PITA especially on the drivers side. I highly recommend removing the blower and fuel rails to change the plugs. That may sound like a PITA but trust me I can get the blower off and back on in less than an hour if I try, and it probably took me about 8/9 hours when I changed my plugs with everything connected. Fuel rail comes off pretty easy also. One thing I miss about my Cobra is plug changes were a breeze. 30 minute job or less if you hustled. [/QUOTE]
