I had a Ford Motorsport crate engine put in my Bronco several years ago by a shop that builds Ford racing engines. In fact, that year their car took third place in class at Daytona, so I think they knew what they were talking about. He told me he uses Valvoline in his engines. Good enough for me.

For 30 year's I used nothing but "Valvoline" but switched to "Castrol". Valvoline didn't have the right weight reccomended for my truck when I bought, and I don't believe in mixing

I'd suggest swinging on down to the OIL AND LUBRICATION forum, a whole bunch of knowledge to be had there.

Who knows, you might learn a few things!

BTW welcome to FTE!

Im taking an auto class right now and according to the instructor "as long as you go with a brand name oil your ok." but he also said that the top 5 oils are as follows.

5 Pensoil
4 castrol
3 valvoline
2 Sunoco
1 Havoline

Just what he told us i dont know the guy knows his stuff so theres my 2 cents
