[QUOTE="Catmonkey, post: 16256526, member: 124025"] I run synthetic. I think mineral oil and/or blends tend to leave more residue in the intercooler., but that's just me. But I did run mineral oil for the first 1,000 miles on the new short block. As far as viscosity, my understanding is that Ford spec'ing a 50 weight had more to do with the lash adjusters. Whether they thought they needed it or Ford wanted to quiet down the valve train is anyone's guess. I can't imagine your builders tolerances are tighter than Fords. I'm sure you'd be fine with 30 weight, but I don't think a heavier viscosity is going to hurt anything either. [/QUOTE]
