Currently using Castrol Edge 0w40, my local Ford dealer uses Mobil 1 and I'm considering using them as they are just around the corner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Currently using Castrol Edge 0w40, my local Ford dealer uses Mobil 1 and I'm considering using them as they are just around the corner.From what I've read Mobil 1 is not as good as it once was, I use Amsoil, expensive but you get what you pay for.I change my oil at 7500 and I cry when I drain it as it still looks like I can get another 7500 out of it.

I've run the 10W40 Nulon in mine since 3k and it seems to like it. I change at 7,500 maximum though. Good value in the six litre container. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
