I think you can really run whatever you want, but I just stick to 5w-20 because that's what is recommended. I use Pennzoil Platinum synthetic.

I'll take the credit for recommending PPS to you :hello:

Guys, I learn something new everyday. What is PPS? Is that Penzoil Platinum 5W-20? You'd recommend that over Amsoil 5W-20? And why so?

Hey GZ3! I ordered the same thing earlier this week! How do they sound compared to stock? Got a vid? After much research, I figured the Gt500's were the best sounding, not too loud, not too soft. The cost can't be beat either. How was the install? I'm assuming I jack it up or on ramps, and simple as pie?

what's o/r H?

PPS is Penzoil Platinum Synthetic, so yes.

I don't know much about Amsoil but I do know that PPS has really good oil analysis results and is a top grade synthetic. The 5.0 doesn't need Ester or anything like the Z did, so that's what I use. I like Redline, but it's not necessary.

Ah I see. I'll have to do more research on PPS. So you really like the stuff? I bet it's a lot cheaper than Amsoil too.

Hey Steve, on another note, been reading a lot about this infamous 5.0 engine ticking noise... do you have it or have any thoughts on it?

^ Damn, pretty impressive. I love guys that can drive their a$$ off and commentate at the same time.

Yeah, it is cheaper. Between $7-8 per quart depending on how you buy it (per quart or per jug).

I do have a little bit of an engine tick. But guess what? My 370Z ticked. My 2006 Civic ticked. My 2003 4.6L Mustang GT ticked. My 2002 Mustang V6 ticked.

Hell, my sister's Escape has a bit of a tick. So does our Chrysler Pacifica. Girlfriends Mercedes CLK500? Yep, that has a tick too.

Don't worry about it. The people on those forums complain like mad. Whatever it is it obviously isn't a problem.
