I use Mobil 1 0w20 on my (currently) stock motor. I've heard good things about Royal Purple though.

Amsoil 0-30w or Mobil 1 5-30w. I used to run Royal Purple, but now I use Mobil 1 and I could never tell the difference. I have a hard time finding Royal Purple locally so the Mobile 1 does the job just as good. Amsoil is great, maybe the best, but it cost some $$$$$.

i just put Amsoil 5w-20 synthetic in today.. its rated to 6 months or 7,500 miles.. I'll probably change it at 6,000 though.

I run Royal Purple 5w-20 in the GT.

Mobil 1 is not a man made SYN, it dyno based.

Redline, amsoil, royal are 100% man made.

I get my Royal at most Napa stores or Summit Racing.

I call it CHEAP insurance at $40 a oil change.

Stay tunned, doing oil analise next month at a lab to see how long to leave it in.........

I've used royal purple and amsoil in the past and have been happy with both.

On my daily driver, I have used mobil 1 for 180,000 miles. I had to take the pan off a month ago to reseal it and there was almost no sludge at all in the pan and I've only flushed it once or twice in those 180,000 miles. On the average I change the oil every 4000 miles. Just something to thing about. I now run mobil 1 5w30 in my Mustang.

I used to run Royal Purple 5-20 in my car with no problem, but got tired of having to "search" for it everytime I did an oil change. I switched to Mobil 1 0-30 about 6 months ago with no problems and no complaints.

I've been using Mobil 1 oil and their filter ever since I had my '95 Z28 and I havent had any problems. As far as viscosities go, 20 weight will not hurt your engine and you will see a slight increase in your gas mileage over the 30 weight.

Its not to thin, drop the crack pipe.

Ford built the engine to run the weight, best to stick with it

If U have concerns, send your oil to a lab.

i was reading on another webpage about the australian modular motors and the oil they run. they are built in US engine factories next to the us modular motors with the same specs and tolerances and they are running 10w30, 10w40 and 20w50 on their motors. nothing different, identical motors.

Iwould say its safe to run 5w-30 in HOTER climates.

The only reason for the weight change is less friction to gain MPG.

I run Syn 5w-20 till the engine has 60K on it, then switch to higher weight.

If U noticed the factory oil is a syn blend.................
