Formaldeweiser is one of the worst tasting beers to ever cross my lips IMHO. The only ones worse that Ive drank a fair amount of are Keystone & Coors. And all three give me major headaches/bad hangovers. Id rather drink water. Or a Sam's please, any kind.

What kind of drain interval does RP recommend with their oil and filter?

[drivinglesson]

SAE 5W-20

Here is a link that better describes oil. Take it with a grain of salt that this is published from a specific brand, but the information is still good. I don't use this brand; it just had a really good description.

[Mweigt07]

Well sams is not great beer just costs more than bud, just saying but I will live by Ea filters as being the best. Should be on all production cars.

Not really sure to be honest. RP says the filter is an extended life, so I'm sure there is some extended mileage beyond 3k, but I still stick with 3k. If the oil still looks fresh or new, I might try to go to 5k. But I always change both oil and filter at the same time. I hear people go 7500 on Mobile1 syn extended life. I am primarily city driving so I'll never do that.

[Mweigt07]

That's a good read I guess I will be switching to 5w-30 this year

I think their filter is longer last than their oil, but I think their oil is around 8-10. When I'm feelin like really pampering the stang I'll get Motul 300v for it and that is top of the line, doesnt get any better than that.

[Mweigt07]

My last oil change was RP and I started getting a strong oil smell at 2800 miles and the oil was super thin. Almost flowed like water when it was cool that's why I switched to amsoil and I havnt had that smell yet

I haven't had the smell, but mine poured out like it was water. This 5W-20 is new to me. Always used 10W-40 in winter and 20W-50 in the summer on my fox bodies I owned in the past. I also hear synthetics can leak out easy on older engines.

[Mweigt07]

Well on my 2011 I use 5w-20. But my fox loves the 20w-50 year round but that's because its pushing 289000 miles on it. But the 2011 will be getting 5w-30 from now on. And the smell was only at high rpm pulls then letting off, kinda like its was having blowby

You're wasting your money with a true synthetic oil if you're dumping it at 3k. Just buy a decent synthetic blend if you plan on changing that often. Even the recommendation from the factory is to use synthetic blend and change every 10k or 1 year, whichever comes first.

[Musskao]

I was told by a mechanic, if you use RP, you have to stick with it. If you change to a different brand, you need to do an oil flush. Not sure how true this is..

I know the push rod 5.0's always have eaten oil. I don't know if that's really the same a blow-by. Do you ever need to add oil to your '11 before the next oil change?

Man, what does it look like after that many miles? Kinda scared to let it go that long with any kind of oil. I might be able to loosen up and go to 5k if it doesn't look really used.

Concerning beer, I am a relatively new beer and wine drinker; I started my appreciation about three years ago. I worked with a guy who brought me a few Westvleteren 12’s after I helped get him promoted. One Friday, a few of us stayed late to get things done, and before heading home, we popped the tops and tried the monk-made beer. All I can say is wow… I was blown away; I had never tasted anything like it.
After that, we started a beer club, and every Friday after work, we held a beer tasting. In the military, we are fortunate to travel a lot, and everyone started bringing beer back from their travels. We collected and started tasting every beer we could find. It didn’t take long to see that everyone has their own taste concerning beers, but the clear favorites all originated from Belgium.
America is leading the way in terms of creating awesome craft beers, but most people are turned off by their price. Stone, Lost Abby, North Coast, and Dogfish Head all make exceptional beers that are worth your time and money. Go onto beer advocate and search for their list of the top 100 beers in the world, the hunt for these beers is as fun and planning your next mod on the Stang. For the record, I don’t hate Budweiser; I hate what they stand for. I have done the tour in St. Louis several times, and enjoy it every time.
Alabama is a tough state to find imported beers, but it’s amazing what one can find on eBay. Look up Three Floyds dark Lord, Westvleteren 12, Sam Adams Utopias, and Lost Abby’s Angel’s share, you just may fall in love all over again. At this time, I brew my own beer and make wine to boot; it’s a really cool hobby, even if you don’t drink.

BTW, beautiful car...

Too funny, cheers.

Mobil 1 for me. Seems to be reliable so far. I have heard very good things about AMSOIL though. My brother puts that into his STi and it runs like a champ.

If you want to change it every 3-5k miles then knock yourself out. I'm just letting you know that you are wasting money on RP/AMSOil/Redline if you're on that short of a drain interval. Get a cheaper synthetic blend like Mobil1, Castrol or Penzoil. Even those would probably have plenty of life left at 5k miles assuming you used a decent filter.

I wouldnt say wasting your money, without a question paying more and dumping early is spending more money. But theres no doubt when I'm running my engine hard the redline is protecting my engine better than some synthetic blend ford bottles. I wouldnt run that garbage in my engine. You can look at the wear scars put on your engine componets with non full snynthetic oils, I certainly wouldnt want those scars on my engine.

I didn't say put garbage oil in, just that you don't need to spend $15 a quart to dump in in 3-5k miles.

+ 1 on Napoleon. I am more comfortable with frequent oil changes, and feel it is a waste for me to pay for the better oil products like RP and Amsoil.

thanks! And thanks for your service. Unfortunately my time in the military never took me anywhere but Afghanistan, and that's a dry country lol. Only think I ever drank there was Becks near beer lol. I've had some of those you've listed. I like to think of myself as a little bit of a beer connoisseur and always try new beers I find. Don't like porters but just about anythin else is a go!!

[lilredgt]

So what I'm getting from the responses and the link posted, is that in Alabama where summers are sweltering and winters are mild...I probably need a synthetic blend, 5w30 oil...changed at 3-5k intervals. Right? Thanks to everyone for your help...keep it comin. And as for beer... I'm a Silver Bullet gal. Bud gives.me a headache.

[drivinglesson]

5w 30 is perfect

Well I did when it was brand new at 2000 miles and it was was half a quart low with the RP but its been really good with amsoil. My fox always drank oil but I was pretty hard on it till the aod went out lol

Man, what does it look like after that many miles? Kinda scared to let it go that long with any kind of oil. I might be able to loosen up and go to 5k if it doesn't look really used.

I wish I could deploy but I'm stuck in the states lol, but I like that my base has a wide selection of beer. Any beer that is over 8 percent is pretty tasty a lot more flavor. Well I am serving and I thank everyone that has served

I thank you guys for your service also. My family is full of former and retired service men, including my first husband and now my oldest son who leaves for basic in September. I worry about all our troops but am so proud as well.

I was hoping there were more military members on the forum. What all do y'all do? I'm in the USAF Security Forces.

Haha! I buy good beer, and drink less!

Edit; love the comparisons. At 60,000 I will be changing to synthetic. Ran Mobil 1 full synthetic through my Moms Lincoln its helped. After 4000 it needs a change.

Also thanks to all who serve, and are currently serving. I wasn't able to due to vision issues (detached retina due to injury as a kid.), but my Grandfathers are WWII veterans, and my uncle is a Vietnam Veteran. Your hard work doesn't go unnoticed, even when you get older.
