You could use a better oil like Amsoil and actually come out saving money with the longer intervals for changing it, all while treating your internals to a bath in the finest synthetics around.

A case (12 quarts) is good for 2 changes and can be bought for right at a $100 once signed up as a preferred customer  ($10/6 months). So you're at $110 for the 5w/30 Sig series and PC account + about $10 shipping, equalling $120 for 2 oil changes worth. At $60 a change, you could easily double (triple would be no issue, but we'll just use double) the amount of miles taking your cost down to $30/change!!!

I personally went from Mobil 1 to Amsoil and couldn't believe the difference. Engine noise down at least 50 %, and she's running smoother than ever!

That is why I have become an independent dealer for Amsoil. In our high heat turbo applications Amsoil is a must IMO and the stats back it up.

I will be setting up a vendor area here shortly...was waiting to announce until I get all my ducks in a row.

Any questions feel free to ask, and there's a plethora of info through the links on the Amsoil websites.

With me about to open up a vendor spot here...one of my main concerns is now alleviated. I've been thinking, "oh how I hope AJ is an Amsoil fan"...lol.

BTW, I agree with most of what you say...just not on how some of it comes out. But I imagine we could sit back and have a couple cold ones no problem discussing the same stuff...if I could keep up with your knowledge that is.

Over the years and speaking with reps from many different companies I have learned that consistency is key.  We recently had a meeting and short informative presentation with the guys from Joe Gibbs oil.  Much of the meeting involved explanations of the different types of chemical / detergent packs that the major oil brands purchase.  Most all of the companies oil is nearly identical other than these chemical pack blends that they add to the to make it their own.  Your engine will adapt overtime to the type of oil you are using and the viscosity as well. 

So if you run say XYZ brand 5w20 synthetic blend in your engine from day one it has acclimated to this.  Some people will then start experimenting with different brands / blends, viscosity changes, etc due to sale prices or recommendations from others.  Some engines can actually start to consume oil suddenly that never had the issue prior or start to smoke more especially on turbo applications that can be extremely sensitive by nature.  After using oil in an engine for a while, carbon builds up that helps seal the piston rings against the cylinder wall. When you change oils, the new oil might use a stronger/different detergent package. What one oil's detergent package might allow to build up, another detergent sees as dirt and cleans it up disrupting the rings from sealing completely in the process.

So long story short even the rep from Joe Gibbs recommended to find a good oil brand after break in and stick with it.  This will ensure the best outcome possible when it comes to longevity of your engine.

Exactly.....One thing the forums aren't good for is capturing personality and tone....I haven't met many people that are into cars that I can't enjoy a cold one or two or 12 with .....Anytime pal, I'd enjoy it...

Eh I'm not that smart, I'd love to pick the brains of some of the real tuners out there that do it for a living....But I have some good to offer now and gain.

I still supect your tune is a bit hot and your car may be a bit of a freak because your time is awesome and I'll admit I'm jealous. And once I get a couple things figured out your car is the reason I think lower 12's is possible without meth....And I think you have a good driver mod. And you may just of had a hell of a pass

Can you data log in a CSV format? I'd love to look at some of your logs...I know you have LMS so I don't know how it can be done.

I can through Torque...not very accurate at a tenth interval. But it can be sent in CSV format via email no problem from Torque.

Good info. I was thinking of going full synthetic at the next oil change at the Ford dealer.
Maybe, since I have 59k on the SHO, I should just stick with the Motorcraft synthetic blend I've always used?

I switched over to Amsoil at 44k...best thing I've done as a maintenance item yet I feel. 

Any more questions feel free to PM me.

Upgrade to the full synthetic. Pennzoil ultra platinum is a fantastic oil and comes in the hellcat engine from the factory. Amsoil has a great rep in the racing community. Either would be a great choice.

My buddy with a Hellcat is making the switch to Amsoil next change. I'm a little anxious to hear his thoughts.
