Few questions: Oil change - 2003-04 Mach 1 Registry Owners Club

Adam03GT · 05-22-2009, 09:44 PM

So i have done a million oil changes... This is not a "How to" thread

What i am wondering is how many quarts of oil does a 2003 Mach need?

My 03 GT used 6... Is this the same?

Last, what kind of oil does everyone use? I have always used Mobil 1 full syn with a motocraft filter but my dad keeps saying that mobil has gone downhill..

Anyways, what kind do you all use?

You are going to get flamed pretty bad for not searching this topic.

6-7 quarts is fine. I run 7.
Amsoil is about the best you can find
OEM Motorcraft filter is the filter to use.

6 will be fine.

I'm using mobile synthetic.

That is all.

The end.

Amen.

is it flaming when you just point out that in the forum rules section there is a thread that says to search before you post a thread as more than likely its been covered before?

ahhhh who cares im in hawaii and its 7:40 so were going to the bar

Ya, i am a fan of AMSOIL. I like the K&N oil filters too. I use both on the Mach and the race car as well. actually, in the diesel truck as well. AMSOIL really does have the best oil. It can be hard to find, not as easy as mobile 1, or even royal purple, but worth it.

I know this is a little off topic guys but what does it take to put a 03-04 Cobra blower on a Mach?

beckerb · 05-23-2009, 09:25 AM

6.5 quarts is about right.....

Adam03GT · 05-23-2009, 02:50 PM

I was going to use the search... But i dont know if anyone here is framiliar with MF.com where the search engine is complete crap and i guess i figured this would be the same.

Anyways, i guess i will stick to the Mobil and moto filter but **** 7 quarts?!

24kmach · 05-23-2009, 03:33 PM

Hay! I got my CB back from Cobra.

All kidding aside use a good filter [no Fram please] and syn oil. I now use Valvoline 5-20 syn or Castrol 5-20.
