Mobil 1 10W-30 w/ Mobil 1 filter every 5000 miles

 

I use Castol GTX 10w30 and a Napa Gold Filter.

 

This is really a dead horse by now. There are tons of threads on this topic already.

 

" worthless post # ? by you greengc? "

try amsoil true synthetics , the wix filters are great but the amsoil ea filters are even better. i've got 1,500 hard miles on my last change with amsoil and ams ea filter and have noticed no degradation in performance or milage. that's about 1,300 of those miles with the pedal to the floor honestly :laugh:

 

Like to beat a dead horse:
Any 10w-30 oil and any filter that's on sale.

 

x2, usually walmart supertech cheap stuff for me

 

There should be some warning in the "Read this before posting" section about asking for the "best oil"
+1 to the "Any 10w-30 oil and any filter that's on sale."

 

The 4 liter is a flat tappet motor, so do not use an SM API rated oil. It will not lubricate properly, as they have lowered the ZDDP levels in the newer oil. I would also recommend the use of a better filter. Wix is one of the best available for a reasonable cost (less that $6). Stay away from Fram.

 

I just changed mine and put Rotella 15w40 and the larger Motorcraft filter for the 4.0 Ford. I do'nt remember the size name.

 

FL-A i believe is what ur talkin

 

Basically what Gabe is saying is

Use good stuff u get what u pay for. like amsoil

if u want the Best flat tappet Oil use Amsoils Dominator Synthetic Oil

Napa Gold 1085. Do it. Oh and guess what? They are on sale all this next week at Napa.

(Napa Gold = wix)

 

Arrrgg lol , just picked up two last week. I am sure they will honor the price though.

 

Royal purple, ford wix filter 9,000 mile change interval with perfect oil analysis coming back

 

I use Royal purple 10W-30 and a Napa gold or Wix oil filter.

 

Castrol High mileage 10w30 with 1 bottle lucas oil stabilizer with K&N OIL FILTER

 

I've used Castrol GTX and the Morpar filter you can pick up at the local store. I've used Fram before and the only thing I noticed was the pressure was a bit low. It really all depends on how long you want to go with the oil. If you plan on doing changes every 3k than a synthetic oil is really not cost affective unless you do some drag racing or something. If you plan on doing 10k or something without and oil change then by all means go with some Amsoil.

In my opinion its a matter of personal choice then anything else. My dad drives an 87 BMW that has over 300k and he uses whatever oil happens to be cheaper, and it still drives great. My jeep just passed the 251k mark last weekend and it drives great.

Again your choice really. Just make sure you put enough in there and there's always enough in the engine to keep it nice and lubed.
