[QUOTE="Rufus, post: 10782904, member: 40122"] [b]Oil & Filters[/b] A synthetic oil is fine for a '93 Cobra. I've used 10w-30 Mobil 1 from the first change at 1000 miles. I started using the Motocraft FL-1A filter, but switched to the Purolator PureOne when it came out. I worked in product engineering there, and saw test data showing how good the PureOne was compared to the competition, but that was back in about '96. Although I have no recent info about that filter, I'd guess it's still probably at least as good* as any filter available on today's market. My Cobra isn't driven much anymore, and has about 201,000 miles, but it doen't leak or burn a bit of oil. It holds 5 U.S. quarts of oil with a filter change. I also switched the tranny and rear to synthetics years ago...without looking at my records probably at around 25,000 miles. * Meaning the efficiency of removing small debris particles and how much debris it can hold before it becomes plugged.
