RE: Which oil do you use?
Royal Purple....only $5.99 a quart at Pep Boys. Good stuff as is Amsoil, Redline and Mobil 1. Check out these sites:

More horsepower & higher rpm's, cleaner engine, virtually wearless performance, flows the same in winter as it does in summer (no dry starts or hard cold weather cranking), improved mileage, longer drain intervals, that's synthetic for you!

I dont suggest any type of synthetic if your engine has any large amount of miles on it, if it doesnt leak now it most lickly will if you put a synthetic in it. I run valvoline 10w-30 on my freshly rebuilt engine. I would stay away from penzoil, castrol, cheaper quacker state oils, and cheap no-names. On some new fords using a cheap oil or evan an oil like penzoil can void manufacturers warenty.

I am not sure why you think this but it is untrue!! (ex. I purchased a 89' LX 5.0 with 70k on it, put the castrol syntech in it and put over 140k on it useing it without ever haveing a problem with it leaking) I use Castrol syntech and have had no problems at all with it, I still do oil changes between 3500-4500 miles. I have put this in the cars that I have bought used with 60k+ miles on them and change to it right when I got the car home and have never had any problems with it what so ever, and I believe and know that the car runs better with the synthetic oil in it.
