I've got a 99 Mustang GT with your average bolt-ons. I drag race it on weekends when I can and generally drive it pretty hard during the week. It gets driven about 35 miles a day. The car has a modular 281 SOHC 2V engine with 69,000 miles. My altitude is 4200 feet with 4 seasons(SLC UT) extremes at triple and single digits. The car also parks outside...
The current oil I use is 5w30 Mobil1 extended performance which apparently contains 50 percent more SuperSyn then regular Mobil1 whatever super syn is. I figure 5w30 is the best for the all year around considering our weather. I change about every 3,000 miles with frequent level checks. It's advertised to go 15,000 but with my style of driving 3,000 is I believe where it should be.
I wanted to check with you Pro's to make sure I'm doing the right thing...? Any suggestions?
I was also thinking of switching to Redline, Royal Purple, or Amsoil. I hear they are a 'real' synthetic oil?? Would it matter in my case??
Thank you.
