5w20 Mobil 1 with Fram filter. when i get to 12000 to 14000 miles, I will be switching to full synthetic.

Congrats on your purchace, we use Motul on our 05' racecar, was using redline temp's 190/200 after switching to Motul temp dropped to avg of 140 as well as you don't have to change the oil each race weekend but everyother weekend.They will also analysis your oil also. However any Royal Purple/Mobil one/Redline/Motul will work well in you Mustang.

i use mobil1 full synthetic and motorcraft filter, i think its a FL1A.

Mobile One and a Wix filter

Viking05 · Apr 8, 2006

Cool, I was planning on using Mobil 1. Is there any advantage between the FL1A FL820S filters?

GOLDENPONY · Apr 8, 2006

Oil

A. The 4.6L doesn't use the FL1A, it uses theFL820S filter

B. Mobil 1 IS a full Synthetic oil

argabright52 · Apr 9, 2006

I believe the FL1A is just a little bit longer than the FL820S.

bigcat · Apr 9, 2006

i git the 820 on there, just checked it out. the FL1A must be on one of the other cars

GOLDENPONY · Apr 9, 2006

OIL

FL1A is used on a lot of Ford engines, including the 5.0- but not the 4.6.

when is it ok to switch to mobil 1? my dads 06 GT has jsut over 3k - is the first oil change too soon? i thought that they came with part-synthetic factory fill? shoudl i used part synthetic if not full?

OIL

Saleen4971:
I would think 3K miles should be fine before going to Mobil 1. Than't about when I went to it, no problems. How do you like the Edelbrock IAS shocks? I had them in a 2000 GT 'vert and loved them.

Saleen4971 · Apr 10, 2006

i liek them a lot - i woudul rpefer an adjustable shock though, since i go to teh track a lot i woudl prefer to have a stiff right rear shock

krang00 · Apr 11, 2006

I've got 1100 miles on my 06, changed the oil at 600 miles using ford's semi-synthetic 5w20 (or whatever the suggested weight is in the manual) and an AMSOIL filter. I will be switching to full synthetic at 3k.

BTW, my first oil change took 7 quarts even though the manual only says 6. Did ford skimp on oil or something from the factory/

bigcat · Apr 11, 2006

it does take slightly more than 6 quarts
