Looking for input on which oil to start using:
2016 Ford Taurus SHO w/ the 3.5L TGDI V-6 EcoBoost engine.
I have just finished modifying the engine to the point where I feel it is still going to my a reliable daily driver. This includes the following -
Engine computer tune
Replacement aftermarket turbos
larger intercooler
high pressure fuel pump
true dual set-up CAI
colder heat range spark plugs
custom metal hot pipes
high flow cats & exhaust
I thought I would be running the HPL No VII PCMO 5w-30, but am committed to 4,000 mile OCI‘s, and still have a hard time swallowing $100 for each change. However, if it appears that to be my best choice, that is absolutely what I’ll go with. My only other caveat is I’m not really a fan of the Euro/SAPS oils, simply because I don’t want to harm the cats at all. And though I would certainly like to stick with a 5w-30, if the consensus is to go with something else, I’m open. Finally, I know the oil needs to have a very high HTHS, especially with the new larger turbos.
