5W-50 or 15W-50?
What does your oil pressure look like?
Is this in the CJ or the GT500?

see?
i use mobil 1 5/50. ordered it online - a case of 6 was $38.
Factory calls for 5w50 on the 500 and CJs. I stick with recommendation from the person who machined and built the engines.(My CJ is a custom build from ground up oil pressure greatly affected by what lash adjusters are used in the car) I've seen oil pressure well over 75psi on 30 weight at over 8,000rpm with solid lash adjusters.

The Beast has provided a great deal of information that more than makes the case for his oil recommendations. He's even posted what an insider, whose had a prominent role in developing these modular motors, has had to say about oil recommendations. He's looking out for the mustang community regardless if he appears compromised because he's an Amsoil dealer.
You just reminded me to look into an oil pressure gauge setup.
Troy has done a great job of collecting data and answering questions to the best of his knowledge. He's done a lot for the forums community. I'm always weary of people recommending things that they sell(for instance Troy with amsoil and van with the products he sells). I think they need to sell what they believe in and it's obvious that they both heavily bElieve in the products they push. I applaud that, I just have a healthy dose of cynicism to salesmen and am also on guard lol. Personally I think amsoil appears to be a great product.
Asking about oil choices is almost like discussing religions. Lol nothing personal against anyone as just about everyone here is incredibly nice and helpful.

I run Amsoil 10w40. I've used it for years in a number of vehicles and the oil analysis makes me comfortbale with that decision (I also used other brands...Motul,Royal Purple, Castrol, etc over the years). That's also why I stopped using the Ford oil... I don't really care who says what - I send my oil in and have it tested. Opinions are not very useful to me. Do a search on my username and you can see why. Believe it was at the start of the whole oil debate.
Whatever brand you choose, send in an oil analysis to make sure it is meeting your mechanical needs. If it does, great. If not, try another brand.

No wonder he hung up on me when I asked for 3 cases of Pennzoil. Actually just use the oil milkshake. A quart of Motorcraft, Pennzoil, Mobil 1, Amsoil, Royal Purple, Castrol, and a 1/2 quart of Prolong and you have the perfect oil. You will have the properities of every oil all rolled into one. Then do a Blackstone Analysis. Can't go wrong:rockon:
