i figured id start this post and get a an idea of what brand and type of oil does everyone use in there mustangs ? and also how many of you guys always change your own oil and how many of you guys go to a garage or ten min oil lube spot etc ? keep in mind not everyone has the garage or space to do there own work etc.. so no judgement if people have to do pay to do a simple maintence.. i always use synthetic oil.. on my old post.. Castrol synthetic oil seemed to be a one fav by a few of you guys... wondering what everyone uses and suggest...

I use Wal-Mart full synthetic and a good filter , don't knock it cause of the price I run it in everything from my mower to my wife's 14' focus. Always use a good filter and change oil on a good schedule .as far as oil change places I do my own because I used to work at a quick lube place and you would not believe the things I have see co workers do to customers cars .

I change mine myself. I always use Motorcraft filters and right now I'm using Pennzoil SAE 30 (I'm pretty sure) for break in period, not sure what I'll decide to run for long-term use.
Currently, Royal Purple.
I usually use Castrol.
For the filter, I try to get a high quality one, try to avoid fram. Dad had a fram filter fall apart on him.
On the Mustang I do my own oil change. Don't let a shop touch it for anything other than alignments and tires.
On the Mazda I've started going to Mr Lube. My friend is fairly high up and may possibly become a manager of one soon. The service is great, price is okay and i dont have to deal with the oil or crawl under the car.

I change mine, and my parents oil myself from like late March-mid October, then we just bring them to my dads friend to have him do it in the cold weather due to us not having a garage.
I use Mobil 1 in all our cars. Synthetic in my dads 07 GT and the normal shit in my moms 05 V6 and my 94 GT

Always used motorcraft semi synthetic oil and filter in my truck since I bought it newish (80000miles lol). And whatever autozone has on special (semi syn) for my mustang. Always change it myself just because I have a need to justify using my overpriced snap on tools every chance I get
For my 04 Dodge, it had 210K miles when I sold it, Grease Monkey did a majority of the oilc changes with Rotella and their house brand filters. Never had an issue and it was running strong when I sold it last week.
For my Mustangs I use Castrol in the SVO and Valvoline in #71. 10-30 for the most part. For filters, whatever is on sale sometimes, mostly Motorcraft.

I use Havoline/Castrol 5-30 in the Mustang with a Motorcraft filter, Mobil 1 5-30 in the BMW with a Wix filter (8 quarts ftl), and whatever oil we have in barrels at work for my Civic (it costs $8 to change oil in it with a filter).
