Sorry if this is not the right way to get this info, but I was hoping to get some recommendations on oil and filters for a couple of my vehicles now that I have decided to do my own oil maintenance
1. 2013 Mustang GT (5.0L Coyote): This is not a daily driver; gets about 2-3k miles/year; I change each year. This is a vehicle I intend to keep forever and want it to last as long as possible.
-- currently supposedly (because I can't verify if the shop guys actually put it in) running Pennzoil Platinum 5w20 with a "FVP" filter (/gag) installed by oil change shop.
-- considering staying with PP and using Motorcraft filter instead.
2. 2018 F-150 (3.5 Ecoboost twin turbo): Daily driver; 7k/year; change whenever computer says so (typically every 8-9 months). This is a vehicle that will be replaced in no more than 6 years (unless life happens) and I'll only rack up 60-75k before I sell. Does heavy towing and hauling in summers.
-- currently using Motorcraft blend 5w30 with Motorcraft filter.
-- considering changing to the PP, Mobile 1 full synth or other full synth since those oils are pretty much as cheap as the motorcraft synth blend and I do the heavy towing/hauling.
Have any thoughts?
