What type of oil do you use?

[feellnfroggy]

Synthetic or conventional motor oil. (or syntec blend) What is better, and what do you use?

Me personally I'm a syntec blend kinda guy, because I can never remember what I put in it the time before this.

motorcraft 5w20 blend with a fl400s everytime. anything more is like throwing your money out of the window.

I used conventional on my old car, but think I'm going to use synthetic when it comes time to do the trucks oil.

 

[feellnfroggy]

FL400's? Is that an oil conditioner? Syntec or conventional? Is motorcraft only conventional?

 

[04 EDGE]

thats the filter part number, motorcraft oil is blended

 

[Sasquatch_Ryda]

Conevntional motorcraft 10w30 and an FL1A motorcraft filter.

i haven't seen any conventional motorcraft oil in years. everything around here is blended.

Both my ranger and explorer get 5 quarts Mobil clean 5000 10W30 and a motorcraft FL1A.

The bonneville gets 5 quarts Mobil clean 5000 10W30 and the applicable AC Delco oil filter (it's about 1/4 the size of an FL1A).

The only reason I use Mobil clean 5000 is because it's a high quality conventional that is usually cheap at walmart.

Everything except our 5w20 is conventional oil at the dealership I'm working at.

i use Valvoline synthetic. i want to use motorcraft synthetic but the only place i can find it is at the dealership.

Those chevy cars usually take an FL321 if you are wanting to use a motorcraft filter.

Currently running Royal Purple 10W30, yes it does cost more $8 to $9 a quart. I want to say I have a Pennzoil or Fram filter - can't remember. But I will be doing a change soon, before the 10 yr trip . . .

 

[dusto2]

well for the vue its a wix filter and kendal 5w30 semi syn, and the bII gets a wix 51515 and kendal 10w30 semi syn

 

[MikeInIdaho]

The mazda gets 5w20 Mobil 1 synthetic and a k&n (gasp!) oil filter, the Chevy gets 10w30 Mobil 1 sythetic "high mileage" (also w/ k&n oil filter) and the Rabbit gets Mobil Delvac 1300 (cj-4 conventional) and a Bosch filter.

Does anyone have any experience using Valvoline full synthetic? I hear it's pretty good...

 

[sbsumerix]

just use whatever is on sale at autozone the time i need the oil change seems like mostly quatker stat 10w30 and a stp or fram filter.
my dad uses quaker state synthetic torque power 10w30 in his new gmc with an bosch filter
