I use 5W-20 mobile one and I change the oil every 2,500-3,000 miles. One advantage of using synthetic oil over standard is that synthetic oil is thinner than standard and will free up some power (little power at most). nascar teams use a thin 10 WT SAE (0W10) racing synthetic oil for qualifying witch is only a like 3-4 laps to get more power but the oil dose not last long and the teams have to change the oil to a thicker 30 WT SAE (10W30) racing synthetic oil for the race after that. I use 5w-20 Witch is suggested for 01-04 mustang GT's.
