Oil Change

usafimj · October 9th, 2007, 10:01 PM

I have a 2007 Mustang GT and correct me if I'm wrong but our cars take 6qts of oil, 5w20 ofcourse. This is the first oil change since I bought it a few weeks back. Would you rather use Royal Purple or Mobile 1 in these beasts? Does anyone have any experience with K&N oil filters. Are they good. I mean I only want the best for my one and only. That is besdies my fiancee....

Thanks

royal purple and mobil 1 are about the best, mobil 1 is alot cheaper and thats what i use, most people i hear use mobil 1. I got the K&N, its all right, but i wish i had got JLT you get 2x the HP and its $100 cheaper. the JLT or C&L are the best you can get, but when you get CAI get the tuner also bc w/out the tune the benefit is minimal.

He was taling about K&N oil filters. I don't have any experience with them but I'm sure they are fine. To answer your question I have 6 quarts of Mobil 1 5w20 sitting in my garage

you only need 5 quarts of oil in the new stangs.

06RedfireGT · October 9th, 2007, 10:20 PM

NO NO NO

The GTs are 6 quarts and the sixers are 5.

06GTMustang89 · October 9th, 2007, 10:21 PM

the manual says 6 qts buddy on the 4.6L at least the V6 is 5 quarts

06GTMustang89 · October 9th, 2007, 10:21 PM

I changed mine a few weeks ago, and it was full with 5 qts

06RedfireGT · October 9th, 2007, 10:34 PM

I have a Fram oil filter.

Jucostud · October 9th, 2007, 10:44 PM

guess my car is wierd

I thought it needed 6 qts, but when i changed mine i put 5qts in it and let it sit. i checked it with my dipstick about 30 minutes later and the oil was perfect.

usafimj · October 9th, 2007, 10:57 PM

6qts of 5w20 coming up in about 650miles. still debating between RP or Mobile 1. Not sure on oil filter yet. Any suggestions

06GTMustang89 · October 9th, 2007, 11:00 PM

K&N all the way or mobil 1

Luis_GT · October 9th, 2007, 11:01 PM

Mobil 1 oil FTMFW!

Jucostud · October 9th, 2007, 11:05 PM

i've got castrol syntec in it right now, but everybody here says mobil 1. Mobil 1 is about $6 cheaper at my walmart, so i'll probably switch in another 1,000 miles.

cams-shelbycobra07 · October 9th, 2007, 11:53 PM

buy my knn Ill let you see it and if you buy it Ill take you for a ride in the cobra

Royal Purple full synthetic oil and Ford Racing oil filter. Thats what I run in both Stangs. I've been using RP in the 98 for about 4 years and I LOVE it.
