Was looking at manual and Ford say use mineral oil 15w40 or something WTF? Mineral oil for this beautiful engine? Surely one would use high quality fully synthetic? What do you guys put in your F6?Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Semi & mineral aren't as volatile at temp as full synthThis said, purple is the only thing I run in my F6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
