Engine What engine oil are you running in your foxbody?

I bet you there is only two maybe three oil refineries that just add each brands "special recipe" addatives , so they all work just as good.
It's all just preference. To each his own.

This is an age old debate, but an oil change is still the cheapest thing we do for our hot rods so do it early and often.
And I don't sell oil or anything else...

I actually saw this on a Diesel site the other day although they added " change fuel filters often" onto the clean oil and filter change........

You use STP goo for what?

 

[Potomus Pete]

Oil addative. Surely you know STP. Remember the stickers back in the day. What ever happened to stickers in advertising automotive products. Money. The best were the Budman stickers

STP has not changed, oil has.

I have used Lucas, Slick50, Duralube, and sea foam. Sea foam I added a whole can in the gas tank and to the crankcase, drove my last 1000km before the 5000km mark and changed the oil and it is awesome stuff, I had a sticky lifter and it fixed it .

We took care of a used car lots cars at the service station ( part time High School job) I worked at in the early 70's.. They would have us inspect the cars they took in and we did an oil/filter change on all of them.. The car lot owner specified 4 qts oil, 1 qt ATF... ( About $5 bucks back then)..
Amazing how the lifters and the engine overall quieted down.....
Simpler times....

[TIGGER]

I have been using Mobil 1 in pretty much all my cars and trucks since I bought Tigger in 99. Prior to that, it was whatever was the cheapest name brand conventional oil. My mom's 94 Escort GT is the only car that we have owned that I have used synthetic in since it was new, well since the engine was broke in. I used valvoline synthenic then but it seemed to cause a lot of varnish in the engine. And then around 99 I switched to Mobile 1. The head cracked at ~105K so it came off and I was happy with the very little to no wear in the cylinders.
