Misconception there is no reason to go with a thicker oil, as long as the engine doesn't leak or burn oil you should stay with what the manufacture recomends.

Fram is crap all the reports I have read are mostly all negative. Puralator One (blue) is a great filter. Puraltor makes Motorcraft to Ford specs and they are one of th top rated filter on the market. Also motorcraft filters are cheaper then Puraltor Ones by about $2.

the funny thing is there are only 3 companies that manufacture oil for vehicles in the world, which in turn sells it to mobil, pennzoil, etc......but anyway i use motorcraft 10-30 and filter.

Well thats reason why i was thinkin about thicker oil , mine burn little big , it doesn't smoke ,but i know it using little bit of oil , i guess it pass rings
Hell last 30k miles motor had some hard time with me

I always run Mobil 1 10W-30, and depending on where I get the filter either a Mobil 1 or Purilator.

Methodical · Apr 26, 2006

Currently I have Valvoline 10w-30 in the motor. I still have less than 2K on a newly built motor. Once I hit 2K miles I will began using either Mobile 1 10w-30 (winter) or 20w-50 (summer) or use Amsoil. I plan to use only Ford Motorcraft oil filters. I used to use the Mobile 1 oil filters but I think its a waist of monies.

Questions for those using Synthetics. How often do you change your oil and filter?

wytstang · Apr 26, 2006

Since I use syn-blend I go 5,000 between changes if I were running full syn I would go 7,000 easy.

Exact same here.

I have a "class I" rear main leak that is barely even noticable. I ran regular dino oil a while back & didn't notice it. I'm still going to use the synthetic from now on, though.

5.0 HOtrain · Apr 26, 2006

I *normally* run syntec 20-50, or mobil one 15-50, whatever the store has 8 quarts of. I *always* run the FL-1A filter also.
However, this time I'm trying Royal Purple 20-50 with a quart of lucas oil stabilizer and a K&N oil filter, not to happy to spend $70 on a oil change looking back at it

For those who dont know, Walmart sells motorcraft oil filters, up till last year you coulb buy FL-1A filters for $2.77, they are a little over 3 bucks now, still alot cheaper than the dealer.

The walmart by me only sells Fram so I don't by my filters from wallyworld

godstangit · Apr 26, 2006

Valvoline 10-30 synthetic blend, switched from Penzoil after I found it got burnt up after a few runs at the track.

Guys I remeber seeing a list of motor oil manufactures
from bob the oil guy webpage, but can't find it anymore

anyone have a link...
similar to the oil filter one posted but motor oil.

94gts · Apr 28, 2006

5 quarts of mobil 1 10w-30 is 19.99 at walmart. I use carquest BLUE filters. A synthetic oil change costs me $24

I change it every 2,000-3,000 miles because i beat the crap out of my car
