Very good: Mobil 1 5W20 & Motorcraft filter

The Best: Amsoil 0W20 & Amsoil filter

I like the Royal Purple with a K&N oil filter. I noticed a 1 to 2 MPG increase changing from Castro Syntec to Royal Purple. K&N makes a good filter and it has a 1 inch nut on top of it which makes it easy to remove. You can get both from americanmuscle.com. The oil is $8 a quart and the filter is about $10. I change mine about every 5 to 6k.

RPM Outlet has Royal Purple for 6 bucks a quart. Eventually I'll be ordering some.
I used to use Amsoil all the time though.

I swapped to Mobil 1 5w20 with a motorcraft filter yesterday! This is an upgrade from the Motorcraft Synthetic-blend I've been using!
