    Please Advise on My First Oil Change

    All you want is Mobile 1 Synthetic. Not sure what the Tri-Synthetic is. All of their synthetic oil has SuperSyn, thats just their stuff. The stuff you don't want to get is their "Extented Performance" or their "clean" line. As for the engine, I'm not entirely sure, but the new 4.0 hasn't...

    Yes, you can go up to 7500 miles on synthetic. But, I would only go up to 5000 because after that point, some oil filters will start to deteriorate. Change every 3000 miles if you live in a very dusty area or are driving the car really hard A LOT. Change it every 4000-5000 miles if you are...

    Oaznracing is right about switching to syn at high miles. Usually it's not a good idea. However a lot of the time you can switch over anytime and have no problems with leaks as long as the engine doesn't have leaks to begin with. I've switched my 94 v6 stang over to synthetic at 160000 miles...

    Oil filters won't give any performance gains or losses, they will simply either do a better or worse job of keeping the oil clean therefore giving you better performance. What I would do if I were you is go to a auto parts store and buy Mobile 1 oil, and an oil filter (Motorcraft, Mobile1...

    How many had 3M taped body parts fall off?

    If you go to an auto parts store you can find these wipes called "prep wipes." I think Dupont makes them but I'm not sure. They are lint free, and pre-moistened with a cleaner solvent. I have used them and they work well and are safe for the clear coat. If you use something you mix up, make...

    From my experience using all different types of oil, I would say you could and in my opinion should switch to Mobil 1 5w30. If you look around the forums, you'll find that's what a lot of people use. As mentioned before, you may be feeling some performance loss if synthetic was in there...

    How many had 3M taped body parts fall off?

    My experience has been as long as you prep correctly that stuff will stick forever. I have used it many times and have never had a problem with it. Remember: PREP!

    Ordering Question

    I just called the dealer and they said they would want no more than $500 down, which I thought was pretty damn good. Also, they said it would take 8-12 weeks to get it built, but I've had other dealers say 3-5 weeks. Whats the truth?

    What is the best way to get more Hp out of 06 V6.

    Thanks for the link. I've been looking for that for a while. As of right now, I have a 94 v6, but within the next month or so I will be getting a new 07 v6. So not more than a week after I get it, you can be sure I will have that CAI and tune in there. Thanks again

    Bosch Plugs??

    I've tried the +4's...all i can say is from my experience anyway I would stick with Motorcrafts or NGK's. I have used both and they seem to work about equally for me.
