This will be for the crown vic, the current fill of PU has 7k miles on it. I almost went with edge or G oil, but Im glad I didnt, I only had $40 on me. All that cost me $38. What do you guys think about this choice ?
 
Wow, you picked up 6 quarts of M1, a filter, a funnel...and Friskies for under $40? Nice! Not sure what the Friskies will do for your engine, but hey, to each their own.

Just kidding, of course. Can't go wrong with M1 and the Motorcraft.

Hook 'em horns!

lol I knew someone would point that out.
 
I think the Vic will like it..Glad to see you got a Motorcraft filter.

Do you really need the high mileage oil?..I have never used high mileage oil in any of my cars and alot of them really had high mileage.
 
No, its not burning oil really bad or leaking anywhere. This will be my first time using mobil 1 and I hear good things about there high mileage oil. So I figure what the heck.

Good Question, I think that engine calls for 5 or 10w30, how did it run on 5w20?


I was going to ask the same question but feared this turning into another thick vs thin slug fest. LOL

I swear the PI 4.6 ran 5w-20 from the factory, my triton 5.4 does as does my friend 3 valve 4.6.
 
My last fill was M1 5w30 HM and a P1 filter. The combo did great as far as I can tell. My current fill is M1 0w-40 and an M1 filter, 30 bucks on sale at AZ last month.
 
No real reason I just like to try out different oils/weights just to see how things go. The fill I had before PU was maxlife 10w-30, with one qt. 10w-40. Only reason for the 10w-40 was, thats all they had left on the shelf.
 
next time run the non synthetic-and save some serious money. That engine will run 500K miles on wahtever bulk oil the fleet/police service areas are using
