^ Because motorcraft 5w-50 shears to 30 very quickly. :read:
You can run 5w-30 or 0w-40. The NON track pack gts run 5w-30 however the track pack ones say 5w-50..... so the added oil cooler changed the oil spec? No it's because ford knows motorcraft shears and TP owners are likely to take it to a track so they change the spec.
BTW its not "propaganda" its from blackstone oil analysis data. Again the recommended oil is based upon fords oil.
How can anyone tell what kind of oil it is by looking at it?
If you are dumb enough to tell the Dealer it is Ampsoil then shame on you.
"If you are dumb enough to brag about using Amsoil in non-factory recommended weights on public forums then shame on you." FIFY
Do you think ford recommends using those rotors? I'd go out on a limb and say the Ford engineers were probably a little more familiar with Boss braking requirements when they spec'd the rotor size...Those caliper brackets worked out great on my Boss. My only regret is settling for the el cheapo $35 rotors from Rock Auto since they're starting to oxidize (rust) in the hub/hat areas.
I have a crazy thought.... don't click on threads that are discussing non factory oils. You use what you want to use and we will use what we want.
BTW no one is bragging... some people just want to use good oil. :beer:
It appears you clicked into this thread to cause issues. This is SVTP... 95% of people here deviate from the factory recommendations.
EDIT: Hey what do you know.. looks like you're one of them.

I'm not trying to slam you but seems like you need to give the high horse routine a rest. :beer:
Good Day Sir.
Just a small rant.
Changed to Amsoil 5W50 today.
isn't it fun getting the Motorcraft oil filter off?
Won't have prob again as replaced with K&N. 1" box wrench does the job.
I think crazy glue is a great lubricant until it drys.
