Hey guys fairly new here, just curious what oil I should run in my car and what grade? I have an 03 with 14k miles, SCT tuned, pulley, intake and exhaust. I know previous owner ran Amsoil which I will probably stick with, but what grade should I run??
Oil??

Amsoil SS
5w30
5w30
7 quarts. I run Redline myself, 5w30 is correct.
BTW, this is a new topic OP.
I personally run Mobil 1 full synthetic 5/30, 7qts, FL-820S filter. I might switch it to a more premium oil but for now I don’t worry about it. I change it every year with maybe 2k miles on it. I like killing the earth with my carbon footprint
I second @FleeMan I only run that in my cars now, even my Motorcycles. I have so many damn Amsoil deliveries it’s comical. I pay for a membership because I change oil frequently.
Gotta love those Amsoil member discounts. Their oil isn't cheap by any stretch. My local Costco used to sell Amsoil at a nice discount, but they don't carry it any longer.
Get a preferred customer membership/account. You can pay yearly or for multiple years at once. Been running Amsoil in everything I own since 2010. The motorhome generator loves it too! LOL

Amsoil buys base stocks from someone else, adds some additivies, marketing, and membership BS on top.
I've always used Mobil1 5w30 with Motorcraft filters in both my 2V and 4V. Pulled the Cobra cam covers around 50k and everything was spotless.

I guess January was made for oil threads.
Pennzoil Ultra Platinum 5W30.
Based on all the independent studies I have seen online, it's the closest to Amsoil quality without paying Amsoil prices. Though I am curious what you guys with the membership discount are paying for your Amsoil. I remember I used to pay $25 for a 5 quart jug of Pennzoil Ultra Platinum (it has gone up since my last oil change) which was only a little more than just ONE quart of Amsoil.

Amsoil prices are crazy high, but you really are paying for quality. They consistently come out on top in many independent tests.
Sadly, it seems that Mobil 1 is the company that seems to be riding the success its company built from previous years. Based on the motor oil tests I have seen, again, independent, it comes out toward the back of the pack. And their gear oil is absolute crap. I feel it's popular based on the name it built.
That's concerning to hear. Do you have any links to where you read/saw that?

Just bought a 12 pack of the SS 5w30 and that ran me with taxes and fees $142. So each car costs me about $75 with a Motorcraft filter.
I saved about $45 by having a membership.
