Hey a lot of us run mobil-1 synth. 5w-30 thats what I run with a k&n filter, I would use any oil filter really other than fram its all preference but def a good dec. on oil...Dan

RE: Oil Question
 

you think it would be alright if i stick with the motorcraft filter im using?

RE: Oil Question
 

yea that will be fine....some people go the whole cars life with that filter

RE: Oil Question
 

You really can't go wrong with anything motocraft. If all else fails just stick to the original equipment right? For synth you'll find that most of us use either Mobil 1 or Royal Purple. Which one is up to you, there really is no difference between the two when it comes right down to it. Nothing you'll ever notice anyway. I use Royal Purple and a Pure One filter.

sweet so everything sounds good so far. any increase is power and gas mileage?

RE: Oil Question
 

nah you won't notice or see any.......it might run smoother though

RE: Oil Question
 

You may see a slight increase in both power and economy, but I wouldn't place a wager on it. My dad did gain 2mpg with his '92 Explorer when he switched to Amsoil at 140k. I haven't noticed any differences on my vehicles, but they all have had newer engines than that.
