New to cars?
Always synthetic.
I use Mobil1 oil with a Motorcraft oil filter. I change it every spring and use six quarts of 5W-30. I change the plugs every spring also I use NGK TR6. They are also numbered 4177 which is the colder heat range plug. In a GT I would suggest NGK 3951.
Also, it is very important to change your brake fluid. Do it immediately.
Whatever is on sale, followed by a quality oil filter.
Why should i change my brake fluid immediately?
diddnt know they had that kind of monitor my other trucks and cars were always a set number iirc like 5k milesMost new cars have an engine oil life monitor. Based on how you drive it will determine the best time to change your oil and filter. Most often that is in the 7,500 to 10K range, although I have seen the "change engine oil soon" light come on at only 6k miles. What is interesting is that most often than not the engine oil still looks pretty damn good even after 10k miles. It is a testament to the build quality/ring seal of modern engines. The Ford dealer uses 5/20 synthetic blend as a rule, unless it is an Ecoboost engine which gets 5/30 synthetic blend. The customer has to request full synthetic if that is what they want.
