well i used motorcraft the first 5,000 and had the dealer do my oil change at 3,000 because it was free, but after changing out at 5,000 that oil was only 2,000 miles old and it looked like it had been in there double that, yea I was going to go the purple route but I too couldnt find it anywhere local and it was $5.25 a quart online and I paid $4.77 for mobil1 at wally world, so that was the biggest reason, Ive never used mobil1 before so I'll see how I like it in about another 4,700 miles, I have a oil related question though if anyone might be able to answer, I noticed after I put 6 quarts in during oil change, that even after I let it sit on level ground an hour or so my dipstick read low! I know the new cobras have a diptick problem they also have a 4.6 in them, they use 6 quarts as well but they always read low, just wondering if anyone else noticed this, btw I havent checked it since! but oil preasure is good!
