03 cobra oil

Nice ride. But it’s no rocket ship any quality 5w30 synthetic will work.
Valvoline, castrol, Quaker state, pennzoil, Mobil 1 all good stuff.
The motor craft filters are made well so are the wix xp and many others

It's no rocket ship? I guess your technically right but any 600hp mustang is going to easily introduce maximum pucker factor.

Mobil 5w-30 High Mileage and a Fram filter. In a tuned Cobra. Why aren't you at least running 0w-40 Euro FS, as recommended by many, with a Mobil 1 filter? It's right there in that Walmart oil aisle.

High mileage oil is a leftover joke anyway. There's no such thing as reconditioning or swelling Viton seals.

Few year back I’m sold my 03 cobra whipple
Made 600+ whp . I just bought it back 2 day ago . The preview owner take really good care of it . He using Mobil 1 5w30 with MCFL820S . He did a lot performing part and great tune . Red line a few time here and there but not abused . Cobra is 101k miles atm

I want change the oil but I’m still decided between Mobil 1 5w30 HM or PZ Platium HM 5w30 which ever available when I go into Walmart

And oil filter . I’m pick up and compare new fram endurance high flow ( this one seem really light weight ) , fram ultra . Mobil 1 ( this one feel the heavy of all ) . And FL820s ( price went up to almost $9 . It was around 4-5 last time I bought , hope they fix the tearing issue )

My goal for the cobra is . I drive it 1 a week just cruising around . Redline here and there after engine warm up and on back road street . I don’t plant on doing any kind of racing . I’m keeping this cobra I think forever . After sold it I regret so much . I pay more when I bough it back .

So what you guy think my oil choice and filter is and OCI . I’m thinking 1 a year ?

more power=more heat

heat kills

therefore more oil changes than normal......usage based not time based ...imo.

oil is cheap, engines are not

this is a expensive toy, treat it as such
