My sons 00 mustang GT 4.6L with a few mods i.e. Tad hotter cam, headers, exhaust, CAI, tune, auto with shiftkit. He spent 4 weekends at the 1/4 drags that I know of and at least 20 passes. His avg time around 13.5 in the 1/4. Mods were all on when he purchased car. He has fun, but college student so no more mods for now
77,186 on car
7,950 on oil with 11 months of use
normal run on this oil is short trips of 2 to 10 miles and the longest hi-way trip was 40 miles. This is a short trip car for sure.
car was down almost 1 qt so we had oil changed instead of adding oil. Temp thru year ranged from 20f to 99f
Royal Purple 5w-30 with 1 qt of 5w20 this was the SL oil with synerlac (car was back-spected to 5w-20) 5 qt sump
Fram extended gard oil filter
K&N CAI cone filter
Had fuel injectors cleaned at shop using MotorVac machine and this has always given me a little bump in the cooper readings then goes back to normal- no exception here . forgot to mention it to Blackstone.
bought RP on sale for $4.95 per quart
not concerned about purple color considered it Marketing
first run of RP in this car
changed oil using 4qts RP synerlac SL 5w30 and 1 qt of 5w-20 and RP oil filter
it did not seem to shear even with the short trips or the time of 11 months of the OCI
seemed like good bang for the buck
Per Blackstone
were not sure 12 ppm of copper is enough to call a problem, but its enough to keep an eye on it next time, Copper is from brass/bronze parts. Other metals are steady, which is nice to see considering this oil saw a longer than avg oil run. There is no contamination present in the oil that might be cause for concern, and the TBN of 2.9 shows some active additive left
Try 9,000 miles next time
