They do, and they both use the same radiator, and engine oil cooler.

I have been on that site more then enough. Its nothing new to people who want to know about oil. I am more interested in exactly what it is that your questioning about my oil knowledge. So, if your just going to generalize a lack of knowledge and post "101" links... its not sufficient. Let me know.

Thanks for chiming in.
Looks like Motorcraft 5W-50 shears from 30%-38%
Amsoil Shears 1%-4%

Motorcraft Virgin Viscosity to Used Viscosity - 19.9 - 12.5
Amsoil - 10.5 - 10.1

Might I also add that the motorcraft results were from an engine with 3,800 miles
The amsoil was with 38,000 miles

lol... Just saying... Motorcraft is not great oil. Its sufficient

Well Like I was saying. You can get Penn Ultra for around 27$ at walmart for 5gts. Its better then the Entry level Amsoil for 10$ a qt.

My only comparison is with SS Amsoil... signature series that is. Its an acutal REAL fully synthetic... not one that is just labeled "full synthetic" which started as mineral crude oil and refined so much that it became synthetic.

Pennzoil is awesome oil, I agree. But it doesnt beat the SS line on UOA's.


Also... I did notice how the subject on the oil suddenly changed to pricing.

Get mine at $6.00 a quart.

I cant justify paying 10-15$ a quart for minor track days. For 99% of people a good 5w-20 is fine.

Ive owned a many RX7 and there is no engine harder on oil then a rotary. Thats where I learned all of oil knowledge.

15 bucks a quart? Are you looking at refined liquid gold to lubricate your engine?

Amsoil isn't priced that bad, I can get it for well under $10 a quart. I ran 10w30 SS on my first procharged coyote which seen 200mph, the autobahn, the ring. I used it on my ZO6 also and will be using it on my 14 GT procharged.

+1

I am getting my oil for 9 bucks or so a quart through a generous friend.

Ive some oils reach 15$. Amsoil included. I will stick with my Penn Ultra and Wix.

That's craziness for oil prices, the most I see in my catalog is for 10.42.

Damn must be a Dallas thing. I still prefer the Ultra though. The availabilty makes the choice.
