Hit Man Posted May 9, 2007 Report Share Posted May 9, 2007 Thanks Joe. I have now made up my mind. +1 Me too Grabber. I am going o get my dealer to order me some Motor craft tomarrow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grabber Posted May 9, 2007 Report Share Posted May 9, 2007 +1Me too Grabber. I am going o get my dealer to order me some Motor craft tomarrow The dealer I ordered it from does not stock it so they will not sell singles. I bought a case of 12 at cost. $8.75 a quart is cost. Coldwater found this out. There is another dealer who stocks it and there price is $9.17 for each quart. I need to stop over at that dealer and buy one quart so I have 13 quarts because each oil change takes 6.5 quarts and a case is 1 quart short to do 2 oil changes. You might ask him if he will get you an extra quart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcthorne Posted May 9, 2007 Report Share Posted May 9, 2007 I don't get it, why do you now assume the Motorcraft Synthethic (Made by BP) is better than the Castrol Synthetic (Made by BP)? While the additive packages might be slightly different, how is it that we determined one is 'better' than the other? No one said Motorcraft is a PAO Type IV synthetic (its not). Now if Mobil One or Royal Purple will get a 5W50 to market......then we might have something to compare to. For now, one is about as good as the other.

aonebadbone Posted May 9, 2007 Report Share Posted May 9, 2007 According to the article that I read here I wonder If I could get away with a 5w 40 or 5w30 My dealer wants 11 dollars for a single quart of oil. I think that they are all on crack. Its oil not dope Mobile 1 is about 30 bucks for 6 quarts at Costco I just cant get the right weight from M1 I have a car with about 170000 miles on the clock and doesn't use or drip a drop of oil. I drive it like a rental. Mobile ! is the only oil I use.Thanks Ford for making this another one of you're Bold Moves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColdwaterHotrod Posted May 9, 2007 Report Share Posted May 9, 2007 All I know is once I tour the SVT Engine plant in August, I'm asking the guys who built them what oil to use & that's what I'm sticking with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't get it either and don't want to assume anything so I am sticking with what Ford recomends we use. I have read many opinions and it confused me...so I will pay the extra $18 bucks to get Motorcraft oil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TwoFast Posted August 23, 2019 Report Share Posted August 23, 2019 Thanks for the info, I bought a 2009 with 121,000 miles on it that has never been modified. The car was very well maintained over its life and doesn’t use a drop of oil in between oil changes which I’ve heard is pretty rare. I’m sticking with what’s been put in it since new 5w50w no matter what brand ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TwoFast Posted August 23, 2019 Report Share Posted August 23, 2019 I had a Dodge Charger Super Bee SRT in 2008 that required a 0w/40 full syn. Dealer said tolerances were so close in that engine that to run even a 5w or 10w 40 w would mess up the engine and void the warranty at midnight last night !
