DIY'ers: what motor oil are you using?

[AnthonyNoz]

I was thinking of using amsoil synthetic,any better choices?
Oil filter i was going to stick with motorcraft. Thanks in advance

I use Amsoil Signature Series 10W-30. Search for Unleashed Beast and Jimmysidecarr. Those two guys(both have their preferences) give good advice.

We use Royal Purple HPS 5w30 and a Royal Purple filter in the SVTP GT. This thread covers why:

just used Mobil 1 and ill NEVER USE IT AGAIN! back to the reg old motorcraft 5w20. Im not racing the car much so using a true synthetic is a purely a waste

 

[pohnjarker]

motorcraft 5w20

Amsoil 5/30 or Mobil one 5/30 extended life.

Mobile 1 here. Used it in my L as well. My father in-law had bad experiences with royal purple that turned me away from it. Might try the amsoil one day (used to run it in my dirtbikes)

Surprised to see how many people are running the 10w30 version of Amsoil. Any reason you are using this over the 0w30?

Mobil 1 Extended Performance 5w30

 

[momstmg]

Only mobil 1 0w40 euro formula for my 2013 Track Pack. If it was good enough for my twin turbo bmw then it should be great for this non turbo.

 

[corruptor]

Redline fanboy here. Running 5w-20 for now but will likely switch to 5w-30 at next change. Also using OEM filter.
