[dirty-max]

Do you guys think I should run amsoil on the first oil change? I'm currently at 1200 miles.

I don't see why not. Amsoil is the bees knees.

Absolutley, I'll be posting up some data soon with oil analysis running amsoil 5w-30 in my ecoboost. Let me know if I can help you out with anything!

What oil do you recommend using in the new GT?

It depends on how hard and how often you drive your car.

For a daily driver the OE or XL will do fine. However if your planning on making more power, hitting the drag strip then is reccomend the 5w-20 signature. With added power is even consider going up to 5w-30.

Amsoil Signature Series 10w-30 went into my first change at ~1500 miles. Hopefully UnleashedBeast doesnt mind me posting his info here regarding Amsoil for the Coyote platform. Also a good read as to why 10w-30 over 5w-30 http://www.teamshelby.com/forums/in...at-is-the-best-oil-to-use/page-2#entry1135426

This is a newly revised application list I have created. Some hardcore Boss 302 road course competition guys were concerned about using 10W-40 on the course, that it was insufficient. Therefore, I modified my original list to address their concerns. It also reflects me official abandoning Amsoil AMO 10W-40, as the formulation has aged, and XLO's additive package outperforms.

This recommendation list will cover all seasons for your car, from the harshest winter days, to the hottest summer days. The best part is, the oil only has to be changed once a year or 10,000 miles, whichever occur first. *RD30 & RD50 must be changed every 6 months or 5,000 miles*

8 quart fill – GT
8.5 quart fill – Boss 302 and Track Pack GT

Amsoil ALM 5W-20 – If your car is 100% stock, never raced, driven like a grandma, or short trip driven, no matter the climate….use this. *Mustang GT only*

Amsoil AZO 0W-30 - If your car is driven year round up north in very cold temperatures with bolt on mods, street/drag raced during the summer, and you want one oil for year round use....use this.

Amsoil ATM 10W-30 - If your car is moderate to heavily modded, used in hotter climate states, or never driven during winter months in northern states...use this. *If you always short trip the car, use Amsoil AZO or ALM instead (never get the oil up to full temperature)*

Amsoil RD30 10W-30 - If your street car is modded to the max and producing HP beyond 600 rwhp, turbo or Supercharged, especially E85 fuel engines...use this.

Amsoil XLO 10W-40 - If you have a Boss 302 or Track Pack GT, driving it daily on the street, and you close course run your car for the experience (learning - short heats)....use this.

Amsoil Dominator 15W-50 - If you have a Boss 302 or Track Pack GT, and you close course race your car in competition for extended sessions….use this. This lubricant is best suited when pushing your car to the edge of cooling limits from sustained high rpm operation. *Not optimal for short trip, grocery getting street duties*

*Boss 302 and Track Pack GT owners - If you do not road race your car, use Amsoil ATM 10W-30. 5W-50 spec for this engine is overkill and results in excessive oil pressure.*


Amsoil EaO17 - This oil filter outperforms any filter on the market. Royal Purple uses the same filter.

Amsoil Synchromesh - requires 3 quarts. Use this if you road race your car, or you are experiencing poor shifting.

If you have the Auto 6 speed, this stuff will survive the worst torture.

Amsoil LV Synthetic ATF - 12 quart total fill

and for the rear differential

Amsoil 75W-140 - requires 3 quarts

Don't forget the friction modifier

Amsoil Slip Lock - use all four ounces

*Boss 302 and Track Pack GT owners. If you have the Torsen differential in your car, do not use friction modifier.*

Amsoil Fuel Stabilizer - Use 1 ounce per 2.5 gallons of gasoline when storing your car in the winter.

Bottle Hand Pump - makes pumping new fluid into the transmission and rear differential very easy.

UOA testing kit - we have dedicated UOA threads to compare everyone's reports.

I went with the stock motorcraft filter instead of the AEO filter hopefully this will be fine

I'll be running Amsoil at my first oil change. Have used it in all my cobras and my GT500.

Why a MC filter and not the EAO that Amsoil sells?

 

[Anthony@HTM]

Why a MC filter and not the EAO that Amsoil sells?

Only because the car is under warranty, also since the car sees track use the filter will be changed every 3k or every trackday.

Makes sense....what kind of racing?

Road racing, I'm actually at Buttonwillow Raceway right now. I'll be tracking in the morning.

In this next 2 weeks I'll have some oil analysis data and feedback from the track.

 

[greg hazlett]

Interested to see how the stock IC does on the road course.
