I think it is safe to say why the car was sold! no history on OCI 72,000 miles and varnish avenue! the engine has tapered cylinders, it will be a oil drinker.

excellent choice, pull a UOA to find how long you can use the oil

does the mustang leak any oil due to boost? back in the day I did alot of work on those cars and none of them could keep oil in the pan, many reasons why, now Im sure there is a few fixes for this, I like the gapless rings for the pistons, hard to get guys to pay for it on top of all the other...

yes pics, PM sent

Originally Posted By: pickled Nope...no warranty worries on my end. I mean come on I've already chipped the thing LOL! I only have 10 months of warranty coverage left so if something was going to blow it most likely would have by now. I'll run the XL out to 7500 and see what it looks like. A...

heavier weight oils when cold do not have the best cold start protection. if you want to see this for yourself look inside of a engine valve cover during startup with a 20w50 oil, watch the toothpast slowly flow across the engine until it warms up! during this time engine wear is at its most...

keep the car owner in the DARK about the OCI! cant even open a hood in the dark anymore, its dark underneath it! the service light can come on at anytime for a slew of different reasons. it is just a light maybe it breaks and never comes on? maybe it comes on every 500 miles? maybe you cant turn...

Originally Posted By: hal I would stick with Motorcraft if I were you, it's good oil! Their filters are good, too. Use a full synthetic if you are going to be doing a lot of stop-go driving, idling, and rapid acceleration. You don't have to extend the oci to get the benefit of full synth. 5w20...

I wonder if you can use SA/SB labeled non certified mineral oils for 100,000 miles in a new vehicle? lets say you do 3000 mile oci with this oil, will the engine make it to 100,000 miles without failure? would the manufacture know the difference in the event of a failure? Imagine you brought in...

I have a Sube that has used the AMSOIL ATF 3 years so far
