Switch to synthetic?
I just got my oil changed today. Im at 27k miles. Should I switch to synthetic oil next time im due for a change? What are the pro/cons of synthetic oils and what are the best brands?

RE: Switch to synthetic?
Next time, try a search....
Should you? Yes.
Pros: Protection and power you won't get from dino juice.
Cons: Twice as much $ as dino juice. Take care of your baby and she'll take care of you.
Brands? Redline, Mobile 1 and Royal Purple are the top brands. I use Royal Purple myself. Nothing but the best for my baby....

Ummm....i think it says all you need for a 4.6 is 5 quarts... I am pretty sure it is in fact 6 quarts needed. I think mobil one is around 22 dollars for the 5 quart jug, another 5.88 for another quart, and 7 or so for a good filter. Stay away from the fram filters, I work on these things all day and constantly see fram's, much to my dismay. Go with a Wix, a K&N, also the motorcraft looks pretty good and is less than 4 dollars.
