I have a 650RWHP Mustang (coyote engine). I'm currently using AMSOIL Signature Series 10w30. The vehicle is driven 2.5K per year very spiritedly. Used to use Pennzoil Ultra Pre GTL reformulation. What compares to the SS with its low Noack (5.3). Superior protection is my priority. Thanks for your input.
Recommend oil for SC Coyote

No warranty on a supercharged coyote.
Supercharged from the factory new?
Or you had some aftermarket work done?

I used to have a supercharged 625RWHP 2011 Mustang GT. I ran Pennzoil Ultra like yours only 5w30 and I was doing over 1000 track day miles a year. If I had to find a new low Noack oil, I'd run Redline 5w30.
But first, why the switch from Amsoil? It's good oil - why switch?

I'd keep doing what you're doing in FL.

I find it interesting that Ford chooses 5W-50 oil for their trak-pak cars and for the Shelby GT350. Clearly the coyote engine benefits from higher viscosity during high RPM/high temp track use. The same goes for BMW's very high RPM engines, they choose 10W-60 in an attempt at keeping rod bearings alive.
However, with that in mind, the rod bearing loads are greatest at very high RPM, due to inertia. Supercharging typically increases combustion loads, but not inertial loads. Leading to lower bearing loads than a similar engine making the HP via increased RPM.
Put another way, a rod bearing's inertial loads (due to higher RPM) can be far higher than the increased combustion loads of a supercharger.

Redline 0W40
Thanks for the reply's. It is an aftermarket SC - VMP Stage 3. Yes the warranty went away with the install. I was looking to find a pre GTL Pennzoil Ultra again. No complaints with the SS and received a free membership / free ship offer. Will check out Redline to see how it compares.
