I got a quick question..


I bought my car wtih about 27k on it and I had the oil changed and had mobil 1 5w20 put in with a mobil 1 filter. Now I am about to reach 30k and I need to go for another oil change. I heard some people use 5w30 and I was wondering which one should I use? and does it matter what kind of filter I use? I hear a lot of people say k&n is the best and others say it doesn't really matter.


Thanks,
Brandon

5w-20 and no not really, just keep on using what your using.

Ford switched almost everythin from 30 to 20 in like early 01-02

They recommend 20 for your car, which you should stick with.. But you can run 30wt with no detrimental effects...

I run Castrol Syntec 5w20 with a K&N filter with no problems whatsoever!

Some may disagree, but if you're running sythetic why are you changing at 3k miles?

when my car was under warrenty, i used 520, after the warrenty was done i went to 530, which i still use in the winter, in the summer, i use 1030, i always use a motorcraft filter and Mobile syn blend. when i do the motor, ill switch to amsoil

Why not?

If you enjoy taking oil changes out to 7500 then more power to you... I dont trust what any bottle or box says... I change my oil at like 2-3k TOPS

FORD recomends 5000 miles, so thats what i do mine at. its not the oil that cant go that long, its the filter

i do mine every 3k

5w30 would be fine especially if your in a warm climate. i ususaly put in 5w20 just cuz thats what the manual says.
