Lots of choices and pricing...
Just got my 7 quarts in the mail yesterday... :thumbsup:
Waiting on my filters to arrive next... Any thoughts on the Ford Racing FL820S' filters and the claims over the stock elements?
Thanks!

Just FYI, the factory installed filter had no markings on it at all and appeared no different than the regular old FL-820. The internals don't look any differend and neither do the externals.
I few years ago, I noticed that the Motorcraft FL820S shrunk in height by about 0.25 inches, but the Ford Racing filter retained the original height. I preferred the larger capacity so I bought a couple of FRPP filters and started using them instead.I've been using regular Motorcraft filters in my Mustangs since I had my first one back in the 90's (out of 7) and I've never had a problem with them. I've torn down quite a few of the engines out of those cars over the years and haven't noticed anything that would make me want to use anything else. For the money, I think they are the best option going. I don't know what the difference is between the regular Motorcraft and the Ford Racing version, but I can't justify the $10+ added cost with the results I've had from the regular off the shelf guy.
It would be awesome to have a virgin oil analysis report on the Redline :idea: ;-).^^^ Yup, I just got my 13 quarts from them and it was a great deal. They're great to deal with and the case came quick loaded up with catalogs, stickers and brochoures. Definately a recommended dealer.
I just did my second oil change. I got the RED LINE 5W50. Even as you poor it in the engine, look like really good stuff. I had used the Castrol before and to be honest I don't think is the right stuff for our car. It got dark too fast, at only 2k the oil was already dark in color. I think Red LIne and Amsoil 20W50 are the best to go with. And I will use RED LINE until the car reach 50K, then I will switch to the AMSOIL 20w50. I will run the RED LINE for 5K miles. I think any less is throwing your money away. Just my 2 cents..

I always "drip out" my oil bottles after a change with one of these guys so I might actually have enough left over after the change to do this. I'll check and see how much I was able to get and if its enough, maybe I'll send it in.
On a side note, that Hansen Oil Saver is the poop!:rockon: You wouldn't believe how much oil is left in a quart after you dump it into the car.
I would bet there would be enough left over to do this...
Hansen Global Inc. HAN69002
my buddy has one you would not believe how fast you can collect a extra qt of oil.
I'll do a VOA on the Motorcraft 5W50 and you do the VOA on the Redline. :beer:I'll take a collection... If we all chip in like $2, I can probably get the RedLine oil out next week. oke: :lol1:
I want to use the kit that came today for the facotry fill though. I'm really interested in seeing the numbers on it and then the used RedLine as I start putting miles on the car.
