13' GT Fluid Swap

[Dave_6]

This thread is awesome. Going to Amsoil after this next oil change, which will be this weekend.

Can't believe my car has 8600 miles on it and I've only changed the oil once so far (Motorcraft oil and filter). :nonono::nono::loser: I've been so busy that I've let it slip up on me, but I don't daily drive it anymore.

Hey guys, at what mileage are you first going to full synthetic?

Immediately with the first oil change. No need to wait.

Yeah but at what mileage can you go to full synthetic? I just hit a 1,000 miles on my car and am wondering if that's too early to go full synthetic.

You can do it now.

does anyone know if ford will throw a fit if you were to show receipts of using ATM10w-30 vs the 5w-50 that ford specs if a warranty issue came up?

Ford would have to prove the failure was lubricant related.

When is the last time you've heard about a lubricant related engine failure in a Coyote? Never!

I already had had redline in the diff and tranny before drinking the amsoil kool-aid for the crankcase. Switched from PU 5W20 to ATM 10W30. I'm happier as the car no longer burns any oil.

If anyone needs to know where to get oil testing, visit one of the website links below. Please, if you have your oil tested with Blackstone....opt for the extra $10.00 to have TBN tested. OAI provides TBN testing included with the price. OAI also tests for oxidation (Blackstone does not). Both labs will yield very close consistent results.

Blackstone - will cost $25.00 for basic test, $35.00 with TBN, plus the cost of shipping ($1.90 USPS)

OAI testing kits UPS prepaid - will cost $32.20 - Amsoil preferred customers get this test for $25.95

Just finished changing from the stock goop to Amsoil MTF. So far it seems to shift a little bit slicker. Warning to anyone who gets the Amsoil Pump to pump it into the transmission, its fragile! Mine cracked very easily on the lid that secures to the bottles so consider it a one time use and be very easy on it.

You must have a defect, as I have been hard on mine. Never one issue. If you feel it's "brittle", send a message to Amsoil support. They may send you a replacement.

Good to hear about MTF.
