actually i think i am using 5w20 i forgot gotta go look in the owners manual.

 

Thanks for starting a thread with this question.

So it seems like everyone pretty much uses the factory suggested 5w20. This is what I use as well, but I have been told to use a heavier weight oil. I also read that 5w20 gives you about a 1% to 2% increase in Mpg, but decreases the life of your engine by up to 30%, when compared to a heavier oil such as 5 or 10w30. What do you guys think about this.

 

first i've heard of it so my input wouldn't matter lol but i think that 30% seems pretty damn high

 

mobil 1 5w30 fully synthetic

 

good stuff same thing i used in my f150 had almost 100k miles on it when i traded it in and it had been sprayed witha 150shot since 50k miles... makes you think.

 

people with mobile 1 how many miles you do before you change it?

 

I've put mobil 1 5w30 in the past 2 times I've changed it. I have been doing about 5k between each change with it. Some people go more, some people go less. It's depends on the driving I've been doing and how the weather has been.

 

i change mine every 3k, or shorter when im bored.

and what kind of filters do we all use? I am all for FRAM

 

GET RID OF THE FRAM. There have been numerous tests that show they are some of the WORST. I use a regular 820S motorcraft filter.

 

I have heard both good and bad, and the bad mostly stemd from older models... Things like improperly molded plastic and carboard... the current models hold an industry leading standard of 96% single pass efficiency... not that i am not open to use other oil filters (they are cheap anyhow)

 

I've used the Mobil 1 extended life filters for 6 years on every vehicle I've owned and never a problem yet.

 

i change mine every 5-7k you dont need to change it any sooner there is no point to if your using a syn oil. and i use either k&N,purolator,motocraft oil filters depending on whats on sale.

 

i used a fram but i think i am going with a mobile 1
