Synthetic oil

[VinnAY]

There's a 1000 people with 1000 opinions on this subject with no one or even 100 right answers.
Me personally I only do about 12K miles per year, I change my oil in Apr, and then in Oct. I redline the car daily and run it hard on the street. I find value in full synthetic oils.
My Ford Edge previous to MyStang I followed the same interval for changes but ran Quaker State conventional. As long as you change the oil at a reasonable interval, 3 month/3K miles is SEVERELY outdated protocol, and use a quality name brand oil and filter you should never have an oil related problem in the engine. People make this out to be rocket science with additive this and analysis that and it's all just smoke and mirrors.

I use bosch premium filters if unavailable i use pureolator pureone or m1 filters. For oil i use amsoil, motul or pennzoil ultra.

Unless you do high mileage their filters are a waste of cash in my experience. Are you doing 10k per change? Only way they are worth it.

Was a good informative read. Its given me a few things to think about. Its definitely been bookmarked.

Didnt know thinner oil helps cooling efficiency

Newer engine is not a problem anymore. There should not have any blow by causing the oil to get dirty.

Change with your free Motorcraft 5w20 at 2500 miles and drive the car hard, don't baby it, run it till 6000 miles and then switch to Amsoil or the full synthetic of choice. Break the coyote in hard and it will not use oil. I'm on my second Coyote with no oil usage or
ticking.

Nah, they just coat crap from the PCV onto the intake valves/intake where the direct injection engines can't clean it off in the usual manner (detergents in the fuel) :lol:
