I have an 08 mustang GT (4.6 V8 3v with VCT), which I bought new march 08. For a little background, I changed the oil at 500 miles with Castrol GTX, than at a thousand with M1 5-20, than at 3k with M1 5-20 and then at 5k and every 5k since with the same (now at 22k). Also, since my 5k change I have added 3 ounces of ARX to the oil at every change.
My typical drives are a 5 mile drive twice 3-4 days a week (to and back from the gym), and an 11 mile drive twice ~5 days a week (I normally see some stop and go traffic on this drive, though only one way).
I also occasionally take my car to the strip, and I like to auto-x about once a month. A lot of my driving is casual, but I like to get on it. I also live in east Texas, so it gets hot in the summer (high 90's low 100's now).
I'm want to keep the 5k interval, roughly every six months for how much I drive. I was hoping I could get some oil recomendations. I've been using M1 because it's a bit easier to get, but I wouldn't mind ordering it either. Also, would you suggest keeping the ARX treatment, or should I kill that? Thanks for any advice.
