Hey I am just wondering what kind of motor oil you use in your FORDs. Also have you used it in any previous vehicles. Just tell me some stuff

I have been using MOBIL 1 Synthetic but I am thinking about switching to Valvoline Durablend. Let me know ! Thanks !

 

Castrol 5W-30. I have used it in all of my trucks/cars. I test the used oil for trace metals ( wear ) and find castrol does the job for me.
After the break-in period the wear metals go to nothing.

Same here, Castrol 5W or10W changed religiously at 3500km.

 

Pennzoil 10W30. Used religiously and changed every 3,000 .

 

I had Ford do it the first time. Now that I can find the filter I use Castrol 5W30, and an oil additive called tuffoil. It is also of major importance to use a quality oil filer.

Yea I just bought a MOBIL 1 Filter, i think what I will do is from now on use MOBIL 1 filters and Valvoline DuraBlend. I just hope that Valvoline don't for some reason stop making durablend and leave me in the cold

 

Castrol 10W-30 every 3k with a WIX filter. Used Valvoline in my 86 Mustang with 120k untill recently switching to castrol on recomendation from my mechanic (brother-in-law).
