best oil?
 

i got a 05 mustang GT with about 20,000kms on it... wat would be the best oil for the car... i do go to the track on the weekends and do race around i would want the best oil for the protection of the engine and the horses... any suggestions ?

I've used almost every oil out there and never had issues. Recently I have been using Mobil 1 Synthetic as I read some good articles on it but IMO they all do the same thing.

^^^X2. I have used Mobil 1 Amsoil and Royal Purple over the years but I generally only put 600-1200 k's on per year and change it out every spring. I go with the old saying "you get what you pay for" but others use the cheap stuff and are seemingly happy.

any idea how many liters of oil it takes ?

If I remember correctly you will need around 5.5-6.0 quarts/litres. I know with mine I need 7 doh

And use 5-30 not the 5-20 I think ford would have used on yours new.

Royal Purple here.

I'm a Castrol Syntec guy here.No issues thus far.

X2 :tup

Mobil 1 full synthetic here. :D

Yup that's what my local dealer uses :tup

I hear that's a fine choice as well but my SVT dealer uses Mobil 1 5w-50 syn so I figure it must be good enough for me

yep. only the best for my baby too.

^^^ that is an urban myth

X2^^^

Hey anybody remember this thread about synthetic vs conventional oils? Some pretty good info here too.....

Thanks that was very informative:tup

Send me your 600km oil!:tup

When we lived in Windsor I used to give it to my Dad, seriously^^^^^

thanks for the help :) really appreciate it... i went with royal purple again!!

^^^ Good choice! :tup

a fine choice, I just had Mobil 1 5w-50 syn put in on Thursday

What did you pay for the oil change or do you get it free? (Assuming Ford maintenance program)

Ive used, castrol syntec,mobil 1 syntec,now have royal purple. can't tell difference between them.

approx 105.00 as I had a bunch of other things done i.e. power steering brake bleed and fill complete detail including polish/wax/detail. Total bill was 689.00:tup

Ahhh $105.00 good to know!

Amen.

what's it generally cost your way?
