have you ever changed your oil before?

energiesource · November 24th, 2007, 04:31 PM

you should upgrade your mustang to dsl or high speed cable, it'll go much faster.

hahaha hecka dumb! loli meant it has 56k on the engine lol and yes i've changed my oil before but last time i put heavy weight in it, 10W30 instead of 5W20 or 5W30, so my question is what weight should i use for the mileage i have on my car

energiesource · November 24th, 2007, 04:39 PM

i still use 5w20 and i have like..140,000 km's

Cesar2cool · November 24th, 2007, 04:40 PM

So do you think i should use the recommended weight? or does the weight even make a difference?

HessiaN257 · November 24th, 2007, 04:40 PM

Yeah use 5w20. Royal purple is a good oil too.

RC02GT · November 24th, 2007, 04:42 PM

yea just use 5w20.

Cesar2cool · November 24th, 2007, 04:42 PM

ok i'll use the 5w20

energiesource · November 24th, 2007, 04:43 PM

the type of oil is usually just for the type of weather you drive it in, people wouldnt use a 10w40..i think in the winter because its more viscous, i think thats right.

cbrown · November 24th, 2007, 04:57 PM

Yeah man stay with the 5w 20

Royal Purple is not worth it, unless you drive your car hard. By hard I mean at the track every weekend.

A full synthetic is more than enough, such as Mobil 1, Castrol Syntec, etc.

There was some talk that mobil 1 synthetic isn't really synthetic oil they switched to regular oil because it's cheaper but they're allowed to still call it synthetic, that's why I run royal purple...

mattstang · November 24th, 2007, 11:14 PM

our stangs hold good enough pressure you could really get away with 5w-20 year round

00redgt · November 25th, 2007, 12:17 AM

i stick with motorcraft syn,or valvoline syn

it was said due to other companies that market their product as full synthetic when it really isnt so they also decided to do the same..because its cheaper to produce and it retains the same price as full synthetic .just use mobil one( extended supersyn) and some lucas oil stabilizer and call it a day.

KhaosGT · November 25th, 2007, 09:26 PM

5 parts ford motorcraft 1 part lucas oil stabilizer
