what is everyone using?

[Florian]

for your oil? I know there are piles of choices, but I refuse to pay 14/qt at the dealer when I can get Castrol for 9/qt.

Lemme hear what you recommend. :??: :beer:

50-60K car and your complaining about what a quart of oil cost?

Motorcraft is the only way to go IMO.

Until I get my passenger side oil separator (catch can), I'm using Castrol Edge 5w50 ($9/qt). Edge is suppose to cause less blow-by to contaminate my SC, intercooler & valves than Motorcraft. I'll use Amisol 10w40 when I'm sure it won't affect my warranty. My calls to Ford & SVT said the same thing - use a good 5w50 synthetic!

Schaeffer's 5w-50 9000 series full synthetic racing oil.

Not complaining, just know that Motorcraft is made by somebody for less than the dealer sells it for. Hate getting that ripped off feeling from any dealership. Its not about saving a nickle, its about getting the best oil for the buck. Seems like Amsoil is the best option here, so I shall look into that.

And for oil filters?
K&N, Amsoil, Mobil1, etc....

 

[Iceman5000]

Amsoil makes the best oil filter also.

I've heard good things about Amsoil and Royal Purple. Lots of premium OEMs using Mobil One. Any reason nobody is pouring that?

Would love to read a technical analysis of all the top synthetics compared and see what makes them different. Probably wouldn't understand half of it :sleeping:, but the executive summary would be worth it.

No disagreement that Amsoil, Motorcraft, Mobil 1 are all good options, but a dealer isn't ripping you off because somebody made Motorcraft for less than they sell it for, whoever is selling you the others is definitely selling it for less than they paid for it or they wouldn't be in business. Just because it is a car dealership doesn't automatically mean they are trying to rip you off or make any more or less money than one of the thousands of aftermarket service centers.

I used Mobil 1 at 2000. Talked to my service manager and he said there is no way he would void my warranty for using Amsoil 10W-40. No to decide if I'll replace my thermostat and stay with 10-40 or go 10-30

 

[mtnclymer]

I am using amsoil, oil and filter.
