Default 1st Oil Change w/ Vortech ...

So I just picked up my 1st centri blown mustang.Its the Vortech Mongoose Kit from MPH as most ofyou know.Now the guy told me he used regular Mobil 1 non synthetic ( because thats what Tim had told him ), but didn't know the exact ammount or weight ..

I'm ready to change the oil now that I have it home b/c I'd like to know my own cycle via mileage and my driving habbits .. so what do you guys with vortech's use ?

Thanks in Advance

A few pics of the new ride to go with the post




Interior on Friday when I drove it home ...

Interior now .. Cage and seats just don't do it for a daily driver lol ...

Does anyone know why he wouldn't use full synthetic with the blower .. the vortech manual says 10w30 .. but says either or on the synthetic part .. just wondering .. I'm gonna use Mobil 1 .. always have .. never had a problem you know ...

And the car is super clean .. and got a great deal on it .. 26K miles on the clock .. its an 04 and just great .. I'm trying to find out what the suspension set up is .. its the best street driven mustang I or my friends and family have owned ...

Thanks man .. I'm just curious .. cause vortech says to run 10w30 either or .. and Tim says to run just regular .. I just want to make sure its right .. and they say its the normal ammount of oil too .. which would be great b/c I wouldn't have to do anything different ..
