Oil question

[66GT350]

Well, one of the first orders of business after I get the new snake home Friday will be an oil change (tradition I have whenever I bring a new car home). In the past, I have always run Royal Purple synthetic in everything that I have in the garage. However, since she's not your daddy's push rod 302, I was curious what you guys are running (brand and weight/visocity, please). Thanks in advance for any info.

Mobil 1 Full synthetic and filter

10w30 in colder
10w40 in warmer weather

never had a problem with leakage but i used it when the car had 6k on it. Looks like you will need the 40 then if you're in texas

 

[66GT350]

Thanks, Venomized, yeah I figured 40 for sure down here.

I've always used Mobil 1 Synthetic 5w30. I use the Motorcraft oil filter as well, have never had a problem with either.

I use 20w80. I likes it thick.....I thought about just dumping some crisco in, but I haven't decided on what type...Penut oil, or vegetable....JK.

Isn't it hard to stuff that gooy stuff down the oil hole ... oh, wait a minute, you're probably using the cooking oil, not the grease.

I tried using that real thick stuff, but it's too hard to wipe off the dip stick, and keeps tearing my paper towel LOL.

Maybe some Olestra would be good.....cuts down on the fatty content.....may get a little runny out the othe end though:coolman: :xpl:

Nice to know I can always count on you guys for good, solid, tech advice

Looks like 5-30 M1 it is, I'll pass on the olestra.

I've been using Mobil 1 10w-30, and Mobil 1 filter, for years. I've recently switched over the Amzoil 10w30 and Amzoil filter. They're both pretty equivalent. I don't like anything thinner than 10w in the 5.0 motors.

Mobil 1 5w-30 for me.

Another vote for M1 5w-30.

I use Mobile 1 5w30 fully synthetic with a KnN oil filter. KnN oil filters are real good keeps the engine cleaner alot longer.
