I am at the point where I need to do my first oil change on my roush supercharged engine. What weight\filters do you guys run?

 

wow dont everyone respond at once!

 

Most of us aren't worthy!

 

No different to N/A, just what your manual recommends for your engine.

5w-20 is hard to find where I am (at a reasonable price) so I opted for 5w-30 (Castrol full synthetic) and I also got a deal on buying a bulk lot of K&N filters. You could get a different answer from every reply on any oil / filter related question so the easy answer is your favourite brand oil & filter that meet the spec's for your engine.

I don't see a problem staying with the recommended synthetic blend from ford and I wouldn't switch to a full synthetic until I felt the motor was sufficiently run in, your mileage may vary on this. IMO the extra protection at a reasonable cost is just peace of mind as opposed to necessary.

 

I used 5W-30 for my first couple oil changes, but now that I'm supercharged I switched to the 5W-50 Mobil 1 full synthetic with the Mobil 1 filter (can't remember the part number).

 

I use Amsoil 10W40 XL full synthetic and their E017 filter. I go 5-6k in-between changes.

I buy the oil and filters directly off Amsoil.com and get great pricing since I signed up as a Preferred Customer ($10/6-months or $20/yr and it's almost wholesale pricing)

 

Awesome thank you. I also switched to full synthetic.
