I have only driven 700 miles in the last year, but would like to change the oil & filter, what brands & types of oil do others use, re naturals or synthetics.

Cheers Brent

Brent - this is the type of question that will probably get a unique answer from everyone you ask. I us Castrol SAE 20W 50 (non-synthetic). Why? Because that's what the guy who dyno'ed my engine recommended. Since I put less than 500 miles a year on my car, it probably doesn't matter all that much.

Good Oil

This site as posted on a Mustang club site in Aus, I read it right through & as a result used Mobil One as recommended by the writer who owned a 429.
The grade I'am using is 5W-30, it is suggested to only go to 40 if the engine burns any of the thinner oil. My engine to date has not leaked a drop or used any, but then I have only done a small amount of miles. I went with the Mobil1 because of the temperature the engine runs at (hopefully now under control)
