In ait they taught us every 3-5k miles

 

So that's what I've gone by for last 6 years

 

one thing I've learned, once someone is set on something forget changing thier minds..it's thier money.

 

It all depends on your driving style and type of oil you use. I only use Mobil 1 full synthetic and Motorcraft filters. The oil in my car with 6,000 miles on it looks like regular oil when it's new. I sent a sample of oil I changed out of my car that had 8,000 miles on it, to be analyzed and they said it still had at least 3,000 miles of life left in it.

 

My problem is I have led foot lol so I eat up tires fast n oil is black coming out :/

 

I don't think I've tried that one yet Walmart does my oil changes for me I ****ed my back up in the army and can't climb under cars anymore

 

Is that stuff really good ?

 

It's pretty good.

 

I'm gonna have to try that

 

Hey man I was in the same situation two years ago. My first mustang was a 1998 V6 Automatic. I swore I was going to make it a track car as a V6 and I had all these plans. I did some exterior stuff to make it look really nice but I eventually realized 6 years later that I wasn't going to get the power I wanted out of the V6, I bought a 08 GT manual and was blown away by the difference.
WIth the V8, every mod you buy is that much better compared to doing the same thing on the V6. And the feeling of hearing the V8 sitting next to a ricer at the stop light is priceless.
Honestly, I don't really feel I fill up the tank much more than I did with my V6 because I had to hit my gas so much harder in the V6 to get the acceleration I wanted, I was just burning up so much more gas. I still have my V6 but honestly haven't driven it in over a year... I enjoy the V8 to much.

 

I'd say go w. the v8, but if your pressed for cash it's not a good idea. My mach 1 gets probably 14 mpg... Starting to be on a first name basis w. the people at the gas station lol

 

Weird I don't get that bad of mpg. I get around 20 or a little less.
