This thread only for who are using fully synthetic oil

[bawazir]

Please vote which oil are you using ??
Please tell us which oil weight your using?
and also amount of oil quarts your adding?

[LeoVampire]

They use the full synthetic on my Marauder and I like the fact the maintance work is on file with the VIN check for her so I just let them do it.

I only get charged $38.00 for the oil change each time so I am happy with that plus I do not have to worry about bringing the old oil to a place to have recycled.

And I have never heard that any one synthetic was not compatable with another when it comes to engine oil.

I just don't trust most aditives unless it is to help an older style engine that is starting to have issues.

if you do it yourself and buy the stuff at walmart, it only runs about 28 bucks.

oil is usualy like 25 bucks for a big jug and the filter is only 2 or 3

mobil one. just because i dont wana go to a dealer just for oil.

[FordNut]

Wife's car gets Mobil One. Mine was running RP until recently, switched to Valvoline dino oil.

[WPG_Merc]

I use 6 liters Royal Purple 5W20 & RP ATF for the trans as soon as I get a B&M shift kit for it & the 410s use RP too.
:burnout:

[musclemerc]

Castro Syntec Full synthetic 5~20w, 6qts

[Mr. Man]

Amsoil 5-20 syn. every 5-7K for the last 100K.

[PhastPhil]

6 qts Amsoil 0-30 in my CV Sport. I change it about 10,000 miles since I do mostly highway miles. I could go longer intervals according to Amsoil, but I'm just not comfortable with that. Even though it is highwya miles, they are hard miles in my opinion. That's because some of it is rush hour traffic. But when I work the night shifts, it is easier on the car.

[LANDY]

amsoil 5-20. supposed to get 7500 miles but i change it at 3k every time.
my dad says im wasting my money, but i dont care, heck i only change it twice a year.

[jflave]

I was using mobile 1, i'll go back when i get my MM back on the street. Me old & slow :)

[Cobra25]

The past 2 years I was useing "Royal Purple XLR" Racing motor oil with the K&N filter. It's about $15 per qt. Being I retired my Marauder from racing at this point I'm back to Mobil 1 with the Moble 1 filter.

[MarauderVOL]

6 qts. of Mobil-1 synthetic 5W-20 goes in mine.

[Peter]

Royal Purple 5W-20 synthetic

[Brian H]

RP with RP filter 5-20w

[Jeremy]

6qts of Motorcraft fully synthetic 5w-20 for me.. with a Motorcraft filter..

[SC Cheesehead]

Why is this thread only for fully synthetic old?

Why not include Motorcraft semi-synthetic in the poll, lotsa guys run that with excellent results.

I use the synthetic blend in the Marauder with a motorcraft filter and i'm sure when i pop the engine open with 100k miles it will be clean as a whistle because it gets changed every 3000 miles

[Ktorres1]

Royal purple 20-w50 6 quarts

Not really. I switched back to dino oil under advice from my tuner.

How often does he want you to change it?

[bigmerc'03]

and why did he tell you to switch back

Even though I run synthetic oil due to the fact that I can go longer between changes and my car sits more then it drives so I have that piece of mind that the oil wont break down, I don't agree that it lubricates better then regular oil. The big horse power engines of the 60s and 70s didn't run on synthetic, neither did NASCAR race engines or even dragsters of the day.

I use 5W-20 royal purple or Mobil 1. My filters are either Motorcraft, RP or K&N. Generally when I can get 5 qts of RP with a filter for only $50 then I get that, otherwise I look for a motorcraft filter and use the K&N if they are sold out.

[Egon Spengler]

Castrol... If John Force can use it... so can I!!

[FordNut]

How often does he want you to change it?

5k miles.


and why did he tell you to switch back

After switching from the dino breakin oil to the synthetic I started getting some seepage past the oil pan gaskets. He told me to switch back and it would stop.

My engine builder also suggested dino oil.

[LordVader]

Motorcraft 5W-20 every 4-5K miles, almost all highway miles when it gets driven about once a week.

You're saying that semi-synthetic won't properly lube the engine? :confused:

:bs:

[fastblackmerc]

As with most of his posts..............

[RF Overlord]

Here's the scoop on oil:

The major benefits from using synthetic vs. dino are:

1. Greater resistance to oxidation. This means it will withstand higher temps without breaking down.

2. Better flow at low temps. Good for those in the Great White North.

3. Better additive pack. Allows extended drains.

4. Needs little or no viscosity index improver. This means it doesn't shear out of grade.

Other than those things, synthetic doesn't "lubricate" any better than conventional.

For the record, I use Pennzoil Platinum 5W-30 in both Marauders and Motorcraft 5W-20 in everything else I service.

[RF Overlord]

Royal purple 20-w50 6 quarts:eek: What?! That stuff is like molasses...you aren't doing your cams any good.

[1stMerc]

6gts of RP + Motorcraft filter

[Commodore Crap]

6 qts of RP and a K&N oil filter. and roughly 14qrts of RP ATF. once the rear gears go in, RP will get the nod.

[2,4shofast]

Mobil 1 extended performance 5W-20 with the same oil filter, I change it around every 10K or so depending on what the oil is looking like.

[a_d_a_m]

Not gonna bother sifting thru the last 3 pages.

For the Marauder, I use whatever full-syn is on sale. Usually Syntec though I've used others. Almost always use FL820's. I change by color mostly, never go more than 5000 miles.

On the Magnum I run syn-blend and change at 5000.

[bawazir]

Damn almost everyone using mobile1
:rolleyes:

[bigmerc'03]

7 qts 5w-30 moble one high mileage full synthetic in mine

[FastMerc]

Mobile 1 since new.

[boatmangc]

Amsoil 5-20 with Amsoil Filter
I have used it exclusively for 15+ years.
I am not sure what change intervals I will do with the MM and the new motor.
I go 25K or once a year with a filter change midway in the Mark 8 for 90K miles so far, pull the stick it's still clear.
My last F150 went 160K miles on 6 oil changes using their bypass oil filter. It was crystal clear when I changed it too. Never leaked a drop out of a 351W.
Sold the truck 4 years ago.

[DEFYANT]

What else is there besides Mobil 1 and a Wix filter?

Nothing else exists. My choice is better than your choice. Dont even try to tell me your choice is better than my choice because I chose the better choice.

[fastblackmerc]

7 qts 5w-30 moble one high mileage full synthetic in mine

According to the owners manual the 4.6l only takes 6 quarts with a filter change.

[scruff]

amsoil 5-20 changed every 10,000km and i change the vortech oil at the same time

[n3fvg]

Valvoline Full Synthetic or Mobil One, whichever is less at WallyMart.
7 Quarts of 5W20 in my 2007 Chrysler Aspen with the 5.7L Hemi
8 Quarts of 5W20 in my 2010 Dodge Charger Police Car with the 5.7L Hemi and extended WIX filter
7 Quarts of 15W50 in my 1971 Plymouth GTX with the 440 Six Pack engine
4 Quarts of 20W50 (76 Lubricants) in my 2005 Harley Davidson Peace Officers Special Edition Road King

[MarauderJim]

Upon delivery of my new Marauder I drained the oil and I have used AMS full synthetic oil since then. I have low mileage (33,000 miles) so I change it once every 6 months. (I also use the better AMS oil filter too!) :banana2:

[bigmerc'03]

my supercharger is tapped into my oil pan it also get oil

[Black_Out]

Royal purple in the engine and rear end with the 410's :D I missed the voting though.

[MM03MOK]

I opened the poll again.

[bawazir]

So you do like me :rolleyes:

[Kennyrauder]

Kennyrauder likes ya too! Funny , my 300A puffs blue on Mobil 1... Royal purple no puff on start up. Go figure ????? I really think we are way too taken up with our lube issues. Back in 1970 I did a suicide run on a bet with my 69 Charger... 383 4 barrel with 323 gears.Quebec City to Timmins Ontario in 12 hours flat. There were times that this Dodge never went under 100 miles per hour & some lengthy 4or 5 mile runs tapped at 135 mph. Oil back then was not even close to what it is now. Why are we so worried.?????

[MM03MOK]

So you do like me :rolleyes:
:rolleyes: :D I didn't close the poll. You must have had it expire 4 days after starting it.

[stevemarauder]

Synthetic Blend 5w-20 Motorcraft..

[slickster]

CAN i know why rp is so good i see alot of people use it. i know it says its for performance but is it healthy. id rather have something take care of my motor then free up some ponys. i think casterol is best i use highmilage casterol in my 95 wrangler 176k. and id rather give 8 then 2 or 3 bucks for a fram ex gard filter

[napolitano]

not to highjack this post but what oil filters do you guys use? I tried to find a ford racing filter but the dealer says it is unavailable for the mm.

[bawazir]

:rolleyes: :D I didn't close the poll. You must have had it expire 4 days after starting it.

So u don't like me? :depress:

[dohc324ci]

I use Mobile 1 just because it is easier to get than Royal Purple/Amsoil. Otherwise I would go with Amsoil.

[geo815]

Mobil 1, 5-20, 6 quarts.

[Kennyrauder]

You guys get oil for so cheap!! Us Canadians are $50 just for the Syn oil.My butt hurts.

[RF Overlord]

not to highjack this post but what oil filters do you guys use? I tried to find a ford racing filter but the dealer says it is unavailable for the mm.Your dealer is SO wrong... :shake: The MM uses the same FL820S as almost every V8 Ford for the last 15 years.

FRPP part number is CM-6731-FL820S, although I don't know why you'd want to use it as it's 3X the price and the only thing it offers is a higher burst pressure on the can. The regular Motorcraft FL820S is an excellent filter for a reasonable price, and it's available everywhere.
