What oil? - The one and only oil thread

[akgsx2002]

Mobil 1 5w20 full synthetic. I use Mobil 1 in ALL of my motorized vehicles/toys & anytime I've ever had to pull anything apart internally on any of my vehicles it has always been as clean as brand new. Mobil 1 is the best, period.



And BTW, Royal Purple is crap.

Fords: Motorcraft while under warranty. Vehicles don't last that long usually.

I'm with you. I follow Ford's recommendation for Motorcraft. I use the blend and a Mobil1 filter (feels beefier than the others).

BTW, are we gonna need a "one and only oil thread" just like the mpg thread? See here : http://www.fordraptorforum.com/f7/what-oil-9254/

I combined the oil threads.

I've read that most people who have sent oil off to get an oil analysis done after changing say that the Mobil 1 Filters and K&N Filters (same assembly plant) do the best job of filtering. Something like 99.7% at 20 micron. The worst job goes to 94% at 30 micron for a standard Fram filter. Google there are lots of good write ups out there. I run Castrol Edge in all my vehicles. Mobil 1 if I cant get Castrol.

I have the Ford dealer change and use full synthetic...I dont know what brand. I am pretty laid back on my demands as long as I am doing my best for keeping the truck tip top. I dont know what Ford dealers use in synthetic brands, but assume its a synthetic motocraft. Once I break out of the warranty period, I will make sure it is mobil 1 as that seems to be the concensus for everyone here.

I am using the stock oil filters from the dealer, but running Valvoline synthetic oil. I have uused Valvoline for a long time in my sports cars, pickups, and stuff and never had an oil related problem with a vehicle ever. So I use it just because I have for a couple decades I guess, and it works for me. Walmart usually has it on a good price, occasionally Costco has an amazing deal on it, and when they do I buy about 10 jugs at once.

It probably is Motorcraft. All of the Ford dealers near me only carry Motorcraft oils.

no one running a canton mecca spin on filter?

was thinking of trying to figure out which one to get, and running amsoil.
