I run Valvoline 10-30 year round and have lately been running up to 5k on changes as all of my operation is at highway speed and my 206k unit uses 1/2 qt in that time,where my Lincoln uses a quart every 1000 miles with only 65k on it! But Fords have always used oil at a higher rate and last just as long!
Same with my 94 when I had it, only used synthetic, 202k miles before some idiot hit it and totaled it, no oil leaking on that one either. |
iv always used havoline 10w-30
|
225,000 synthetic, no leaks
|
i gonna have to get a can opener for these worms....
on a side note.... valvoline 5-30 in 1.25gal jugs... |
Thanks to everybody for the information. When I get into gear, I'll be sure to reread this post and consider everybodies advice.

5 quarts of 10-30 with 1/2 of stabilizer....
i have noticed reading this thread that no one seems to run stabilizer.... interesting... anyway, that gives me a total of 5 1/2 quarts in the pan when the engine isn't running. |

My car has had Castrol pretty much every oil change
When Buddy did the timing belt he said the inside was pretty much spotless at 150K km He actually wanted to know what brand I used My Blazer gets what ever is free at work LOL We often get crushed cases that are unsalable so I stock up on that |
