Oil
Was just over on another Mustang forum, there saying synthetic oil is bad for our engines, that the blend should be used, something to do with the varible timing. Anybody heard of this ? If this is true which I don't really think it is, there's going to be alot of bad engines because it seems the majority of us are using a full synthetic.

Hey cfr865. They are maroons! They dont have a clue what they are talking about. A full synthetic oil is far superior to any blend period. The full synthetics are better for the Ford mod motors because of their tight clearences.

I am going to put full synthetic in mine after I hit the 2,000 mile mark.. ( at 1,700 miles on her now )
BTW: I have worked on cars for over 20+ years .. and have seen it all.. people that by into the " get 15,000 miles out of this oil " are the ones that end up with engine damage.. not just by using whatever oil floats your boat .. (what you prefer/like .. brand name ) yes some are better than others.. but that is a LONG story..!!!!!
not my opinion .. but the truth.. ( was a ASE Master Tech. )
