Oil for the Mach 1
Okay,
I am kind of unsettled as to which kind of oil I should run in the Mach. I hear that Royal Purple is the best, but is it really worth the extra money as compared to its competitors. The next oil I'm considering is Mobil 1 full sythetic. I've heard nothing but good things about this company, and I'm aware that manufacturers/cars like the 'vette, Aston Martins, Porsches etc, etc. come filled from the factory with Mobil 1 and recommend that the oil changes be done with the same thing. The final oil I'm considering is Valvoline full synthetic. I ran that in my GT and have always been a die-hard Valvoline person. I can't really decide. What do all of you use? Any comments, stories welcome.
Dammit! I was trying to make this a poll and when I submitted a new thread and went to make the poll portion, my computer froze and fucked everything up. Can a admin/mod fix that? Thanks in advance if you can.

Re: Oil for the Mach 1
royal purple is awsome but it is only known to shown hp impovment when used in the motor tranny and rear diff. I would just go with MOBIL 1 for motor oil. Mobil 1 is the best you can get for "normal" syn oil. Besides Mobil 1 is affortable

Use normal oil and just change it often

Re: Oil for the Mach 1
I've always used Mobil 1 Fully Synthetic 5w30. Only bad thing about Mustangs is that it takes 6qts. Go w/Mobil 1 6qts at Sam's Club is $23 and use the K&N oil filter or Ford OEM (not fram, they suck). Please believe playa, I know my Mobil 1.
