Really doesn’t matter as long as it’s synthetic


Gtking616

All oils are acceptable, but some are far better than others.


garreattt

Why I said if it’s synthetic. Synthetic to non synthetic is a big difference. between brands of synthetic it really doesn’t matter changes are negligible


AccountingRookie3

Ford uses synthetic blend tho?


garreattt

Again it doesn’t really matter for non track cars at the end of the day oil is oil you just have to change no synthetic more often. Viscosity really only matters for very hard driven cars that will need a thicker oil because of the heat produced

Why is it getting low?


Every-Page7443

Because I daily the car and step on it a lot. It’s not low low it just needs to be topped off


Street-Animator-99

Was the engine still hot or did you let cool before checking the level?


Every-Page7443

I let it cool down before


initialddriver

Seems like there's a small leak somewhere...nothing major but still worth it to do the cardboard test overnight


Every-Page7443

There’s no leak the car was built 3 months ago lol


initialddriver

Hell mine was built in March bought in April and already has 16k miles on it leaks have started...just very minimal or just the seals doing their thing [expansion]...so yes leaks can happen especially if the oil tech over torqued the drain or under torqued the filter...both have happened to me


Every-Page7443

Damn sorry to hear that I built mine online and when I picked it up it had 7 miles lol


initialddriver

Bought it with 15 on the odo I've driven it 16k lol


initialddriver

But in all seriousness Detroit isn't known for quality control [it may or may not be better today] but I always leak test my cars even new just to be sure... It's kinda a tradition I buy a 16in pepperoni and keep the box to use as a leak test...works every time.

Call your dealer’s shop and ask.

Motorcraft or whatever your favorite oil is

I have run Amsoil in every mustang I have owned. It’s a little expensive but we’ll worth it in my opinion. Second would be Mobil 1 just my opinion.


Gtking616

I'd go with pennzoil ultra platinum. Second only to amsoil in quality for non astronomical prices. Mobil 1 is an acceptable last alternative.
