You can still change the heading from "everyone" to "GT500 guys". It will swerve the thread in the direction you want.Sorry this was meant for the GT500 guys, not many brands/choices for 5w50 full syn :(

Thanks for your input.Amsoil is not a bad oil but is quite more expensive than Mobil 1 for example and this extra money do not offer you, as I have explained earlier, any real advantage in real life
I just assumed that because it was in the GT500 forum that it would've been obviousYou can still change the heading from "everyone" to "GT500 guys". It will swerve the thread in the direction you want.
It will still headline in the S550 latest threads section. That's how I saw It.I just assumed that because it was in the GT500 forum that it would've been obvious
Best advice the OP could get IMO.Another oil thread lmao.
Basically, everyone has their own opinion. Some people say Motorcraft oil is the devil, others say it's perfectly fine.
The only other thing I can recommend is to search up some past oil threads. There have been a few good discussions by way more knowledgeable people about tracking with different weight oils and what matters.
Good luck on your oil brand journey!
I wish there was some hard statistic we could all look at and say yes this brand is the best. But it doesn't seem like there is anything like that. Even Blackstone labs say they don't know what brand of oil is the best and that most oils are good enough.Best advice the OP could get IMO.
Any brand that meets the specifications the manufacturer requires, will meet your needs for most applications.I wish there was some hard statistic we could all look at and say yes this brand is the best.

...as YOU are sayin'......Don’t believe everything you read on the internet…..
Since decades, no cars have end up in a junkyard because of engine failure due to poor lubrication
Therefore Amsoil do not offer any practical advantages to another oil
What is the point of using a oil that is 20% “better” if a “regular” oil is in fact so good that there is no engine failure due to poor lubrication
Amsoil is like snake oil, overpriced and offer no real life benefits
Furthermore their marketing techniques are based on a quasi pyramidal scheme
Key words there, regardless of the brand of oil you used, including cheap Walmart, you never had an engine failure due to lubricationI prefer AMSOIL, used it for years without regret. Have also used M1, Castrol, and all the name brands to include Motorcraft and the Amazon and Wally world oils in my family and kids cars over the years, and have never had an oil related engine failure.
That said, being said, I only run Brad Penn or Valvoline VR1 in my Porsche, and the 20 years I owned and thrashed and tracked my M3 I ran AMSOIL exclusively. Never burnt a drop. I used Motorcraft at the 1K and 5K changes, and planned on AMSOIL till I saw a test comparing it to the Pennzoil Platinum, and the Pennzoil was as good as the AMS for 1/3 the price.
I tried it out and so far I like it. The motor is smooth, and at 14K miles, doesn't tick tack or clack, and the VVT rattle is very subdued and only when cold. I change oil at 5K intervals, and will try the AMS at the next change.
I'm a blue collar working man and while I don't want to cheap out on the Bullitt's oil life blood, I want the best I could get for it so I can drive and thrash it 20 years like I did the M3.
But this is for the GT-500, and IMO, you would be fine with the Motorcraft Spec. If you can swing the big bucks for the GT 500, I imagine coughing up the greenbacks for the AMSOIL shouldn't be an issue.
All I could focus on was the "FORMULATED, BLENDED AND PACKAGED IN THE USA". Sold!!!I use Amsoil. Not claiming it's anything greater than any other brand. But it's the only full synthetic i know of that has this printed on it.
This was actually pointed out to me a few years ago by my cousin who was a Ford tech. He said it's the only oil, other than stock motorcraft, he knew of that Ford wouldn't argue a warranty claim against if there was engine issues while under warranty.
Not sure how accurate his info was. Just relaying his claim.
And if you really want to get picky the key word there is “PACKAGED”All I could focus on was the "FORMULATED, BLENDED AND PACKAGED IN THE USA". Sold!!!
