This is a VERY good read...

Thanks to this article, and this thread, I'm considering switching from Mobil 1's SM to Quarker States Advanced Engine synthetic, which is SL.

Also, im considering not changing the oil at 3000 miles like usual, but rather only the filter and topping off at 3000 miles. And doing the full change at 5000.

I just can't believe anybody would use a Fram filter!

seriously... just go into any autoparts store , close you eyes and pick one.
then come back here and just swear by it... tell everyone about how you tested it in your motor then took it apart and showed a buddy... then mail it in to have it tested and please put some in a skillet and do the old fry test. some of you should work for the oil compaines or drive port-o-potty

lol ohnoesaz I use Q advanced and a ford racing oil filter I still change mine every 3000 just for fun though.
Over kill, but isn't it supposed to make you gas milage better?

Ford_Dude

not with Q
with Q you should change every 3000
don't listen to the oil maker

is a filter mag a good addition?

Best BANG for the buck is Mobil 1 and Motorcraft filter, each available at Wally's. Exclamation point!

For what it is worth:

Mobil 1 Filter and Castol Synthic Blend. Change at least every 3000 miles. Never a problem. Looked into filters and found that Mobil 1 and K&N are rated the best, Mobil 1 is cheaper by 2 dollars.

Kenne Bell highly recommends Redline in the engine, tranny, and diff. Period. No more discussion is needed! This will be the last word and all future discussions are hereby needless, useless, pointless, and of no value whatsoever!!! [&:][&:]
