    4.6 Merc. Engine And 5w-20 oil ?

    My 04 Mach1 Specs 5W20 and I run 5W30. There is no gas milage difference. So I would say if your Grand Marguis was originaly specd 5W30 and it runs fine why change. Ford only did this for corp gas milage. Why not run a more robust oil? Its your engine.Why not?

    High mileage stories using 5W-20

    I put 125,000 miles on my 2004 3.0 Ranger before trading it in 2 weeks ago. I used PYB 5w20 most of the time. Truck never used any oil. I realize that is not a lot of miles in todays world. If the person who buys it changes oil every 4,500 miles it should last a long time. There is nothing...

    Mobil 0w20 great stuff

    Greggy D at that point in time I was running 5w30 Mobil 1 in a 2000 Mustang Gt with a Vortech Blower. I monitored that motor after the blower installed and did not recieve the best uoas with that oil. Thats when I started being hard headed and not trying other products. I switched to Redline and...

    Recommendation for Roush Mustang

    I own the same car and have run 5w20 Redline, 5w30 Redline and 0w30 SSO. Tell him to quit using the Lucas and go to 30 weight if wants extra protection. I have had great results with any of the above oils.

    What oil for 2003 5.3 Vortec?

    I see that you are using Redline in your Tacoma. Ask him to try that. My boss has the exact same motor and has tried many different brands and weights. The piston slap is always there. Some people have found some motor oils that have quieted it down significantly. Some others nots so lucky.

    0w-40 in a Ford Mustang Cobra

    Whats wrong with a 5w30 or 10w30? Ford never asked a customer to use 40 weight in a modular engine. I would use a quality 5w30 before using 5w40. I live in Georgia and have owned several modular 4.6 Mustangs and have never seen oil related failures on any 4.6 ford motors using 5w30. My 2000 GT...

    Which oil to choose?

    CobraJet I have a 2004 Mach and I run Redline 5w20 in the winter and 5w30 in the summer. I have tried several different oils and found Redline and PP 5w30 have givin me the best results. My car doesnt see many miles but I have a heavy right foot as well. I would recommend trying some different...

    I am torn.

    Ok. Benn or Overkill what would you recommend in the engine above. It is basically a Mach motor bored out with a six pack setup from KARKRAFT. It was dynoed on 5w30. I dont know what brand, Pops out of town and cant get hold of him. I told him I would run a convenional 5w30 for the first 3,000...

    I am torn.

    Thats a good point. Now not to steal a thread but what would you guys put in a 4v Mach motor with triple carbs. Its going in a 56 Ford pickup the oldman owns.

    PP @ Walmart

    Royal Purple should slow to a trickle at that price. I can get Motul or Redline at that price.Edge was only available in 5 quart jugs at 34.00 dollars. Im still looking for quarts I have a free coupon for one quart. Castrol Syntec was down to just 10w30. Motorcraft did take up a little more...

    I am torn.

    Why not 5w30 Mobil? Let everyone know how this goes. I am sure you will be fine. Why does it seem so many people think 5w20 is the only oil you can run in these modular motors. I love 5w30 Redline in my 4v, all you can hear is the injectors.

    why is pennzoil platinum so highly regarded?

    Even though Johnny is a regular poster here it still doesnt change the fact that PP has shown great UOAs. Now I dont think UOAs are the perfect standard for determining engine wear but Mobil has less than an stellar record. Im not into all the Mobil hype. Everyone thinks highly of a certain oil...

    why is pennzoil platinum so highly regarded?

    Very good oil for the price. Lots of UOA's to prove it. Pennzoil is not number one in sales by luck.

    PP @ Walmart

    I went today and Im happy to see PYB, PP, and Valvoline have more space than anyone else. I live in the sticks and it was hard to find 5w20 Pen products. Not any more. My store has really decreased Castrol and Mobil space. Castrol is almost down to their convential 5w30-10w40 and Mobil was about...

    Bottom line on 5W20

    I think it may depend on the motor and climate. I would love to know why so many Ford guys are worried. The cranks and cam shafts are interchangable through 2004. I dont have any idea about the 2005 up models. The tolarances are not any different. Look them up for your selfs. I dont know of any...

    Cold Air Intake Mustang GT

    Andrewg I believe what you are looking for is the Ford Motor Sports cold air kit. You can purchase this through Summit Racing or or any Ford dealer that sells Motor Sport Parts. If I remember correctly the best bang for the buck is the stage 1 package for the Mustang. I believe it supplys a cold...
