5W-20, 6 quarts. Buy 1 extra to be safe. Although our Stangs come from the factory with Ford's synthetic blend, a lot of members including myself have gone to full synthetic. I prefer Amsoil which is expensive but Mobil-1 is an excellent choice (I use it in my SUV) and readily available at your local Wal-Mart. Be sure to replace the oil filter with a quality filter. The Motorcraft filter is a good choice and isalso available at Wal-Mart.

Is the oil at Wal-Mart and filters the regular stuff you buy at other stores or defective merchandise (or Chinese rip-offs) that Wal-Mart buys up and sells for cheap. I’m not sure I trust them. I don’t want lead chips in my oil or filter.

RE: Oil question
...i dont mind these threads that much, the forum would be dead without them... its the, whats the BEST kind of oil, what is better, Mobil 1, or a real synthetic like RP or redline, etc etc that can get out of hand.
5w-20, brand is personal choice, from factory it comes with a semi-synthetic blend (motorcraft brand) the motorcraft filter is good, personally i use redline.

157db made that claim a while back but I have yet to see any proof one way or the other.
