What weight and what brand of oil are you Guys using in these vehicles ?
I still got 25 liters of Mobile One 5W30 that i used in the 97 Cobra .
Can this oil be used on the 2010 Shelbys ? N

5w-50 is what the cars take.

I use Castrol 5W-50 synthetic in mine.

Well supposedly mobile one makes a 5w50 that (i think) BMW uses but it's not packaged in a mobile one bottle.
I personally use the motorcraft. I have only changed it once at 1k miles and still only have 3500 miles. I think I have enough motorcraft for one more change then i'll probably go with the castrol also.

People look at me like I'm crazy or stupid when I ask for 5w50. But I found castrol at sears and was cheaper than for by a couple of bucks a qt

Thats different. I wonder if Ford would warranty this stuff though.I,ve also used Mob 1 for the past 12 years in my old 97 SC Cobra .

i know they wouldn't it doesnt meet ford specs. use at your own risk. im sure its good oil, just not for the GT500.

Last time I checked only the Motorcraft and Roush meet spec. Castrol was working on the spec. I use Castrol, which didn't meet the exact spec, but was close enough IMO.
