I'm coming up on my first oil change in my 08 gt since I've had it and I'm wondering what oil you guys recommend

 

Mobil 1 with royal purple oil filter over here

 

Royal Purple with K&N filter here since I got her at 13k miles, sha has 130k And its driven hard.

 

Can you get royal purple at any parts store ?

 

I'm a big fan of the motorcraft part syn oil. if your one of those people that feels you have to change your oil every 3k miles just get reg oil.

 

Yeah but it'll be expensive. If your willing to spend, go with Redline Oil. A little cheaper, Amsoil.

Personally, I just stick with Mobil 1. You can get the most weights at Walmart.

 

penzoil ultra, royal purple filter.

 

The only Mobil One that's a real synthetic is the extended life. The others are hydrocracked dino oil. Amsoil is also a great oil.

 

Amsoil here, works out to the same price or cheaper than most other synthetics b/c it is rated for 25k/1 year and so also more convenient.

 

I like Quaker State Ultimate Durability 5w20. It's a good deal at WalMart, along with Motorcraft 820S filter.

 

Go with the recommended motor oil from the manufacturer unless you have added any aftermarket power I.e. exhaust, CAI, power adder. Then you can change the oil to handle the extra additives the engine will need. As for the oil filter; use paper for longer life and match the engine tolerance to the filtration particle size. Choose whatever oil brand you like but stick with it! If you have any additional questions download the podcast "Carcast" with Adam Corolla, with their guest Lake Speed JR. There is A LOT of great information and laughs!

 

how often do you plan on changing your oil

 

Probably every 3-4 k

 

Some of the other Mobil 1 are synthetic. I think a couple of the 0w oils were among them.


With that kind of interval, you'll be fine with almost anything.
