That truck is SWEET! Those mpg's seem average and thats what I get with my 5.0 engine...I have a cold air intake with a K&N style filter and I find that the oil gets dark very fast but im not sure if its air filter related. I think that the factory air box/paper filter is best IMO.

If I was running synthetic Id use that filter for sure...Thanks for the pics.

Ok so im good then...Didnt mean to start a debate but ive learned some good info non the less. Thanks for all the replys.

I thought it was 4 ounces per 10 gallons.

ok thanks...I recently put on a new 2 cat h-pipe so im a little worried about killing the cat converters.

I just filled up my mustang (15.4 gallon tank) with regular 87 octane and add 8 ounces of mmo instead of 6...Havent used it in a while so my bad. I drive the car a little "spiritidly" and just want to know if its ok. Thanks

I'd use Motorcraft syn blend 5w20 and an FL820s filter in that motor and sleep easy at night....cause I know I sure do.

The power steering uses auto trans fluid so mercon V would be best. The ford 8.8 is not picky about fluid and is speced for 80w90 and like JasonC wrote you must use a bottle of the ford frition modifier for the clutch packs........Take a look at the tag on the drivers door under axle for the...

The original spec for the 5.0 was 10w30......I would recommend Valvoline MaxLife 10w30 and a Motorcraft FL1A oil filter, which is what i use.

MC FL820s all the way on the 4.6L!

I used this on my crown vic just over a week a go and the paint is still smooth as glass.

I have one word too say...SWEET!

Change the oil around 5k or when ever you want some of these service advisers don't know what they are talking about.

I have noticed the same thing, only walmart carries it and only in the 5L jugs, but they did have maxlife and synpower last time i checked. I even called the 1800 # to ask about this but was given no help.
