oil question
If changing your own oil, which oil would you recomend using?

Any thought about that "Q" oil? Quaker state oilI think.
Castrol?
Mobile?
Not sure about the synthetic oil. What it does different than the regular oil.

RE: oil question
While I use Motorcraft filters and oil because I figure if it's good enough for them, it's good enough for me and Motorcraft is some of the cheapest Semi-synthetic oil on the racks. Be aware, the 5w-20 oil needed in the Mustangs is SEMI-SENTHETIC, not regular conventional oil. I'm not sure if anyone even makes 5w-20 in a conventional oil, but that would be bad to put that in after having a semi-syn for 6k miles.

Your Motorcraft oil is a blend. Remember, Ford is in business to sell you cars. They don't make any money if yours last longer by using a pure synthetic. I got my "blend" out at 500 miles along with the break in trash. Think about it.
