I used royal purple 10w-30 on my 4.6, and the car feels good, i haved used mobil one, castrol and some others, but so far royal purple feels the best especially after racing, so i'm happy with royal purple.

I just put in castrol GTX high mileage 10w40 along with some lucas oil stabilizer. dunno if it actually makes the car faster tho.
one question, is ~20lbs oil pressure @ a stop a bad thing? my uncle said anything under 40lbs isn't lubricating anything.

I have had at least 20 at idle for the last 30k miles and she is still running.

yeah, it runs fine, so i dunno what he's talking about. maybe he meant while driving it has to be over 40, which mine does. he says his stays around 50-60, but of course his car has like 40k on it ('90 GT) compared to my 130

20 at idle is a little low, but its surprising the abuse a bottom end can hold

I buy the cheapest oil. Chevron oil 10w40. As long as it's SAE-SJ approved it's all good.
