What synthetic oil are all v6 05 mustang owners using.  I'm thinking Royal Purple 5w30

I'm using Amsoil for everything. Engine, Tranny and Rear.  No complaints at all.

+1000 royal purple works great, and i also use a K&N oil filter with every oil change

I'm using the motorcraft synthetic blend and have had no problems

I'm running Amsoil; just put it in a couple of months ago. So far, so good.

Castrol syntec works great

I put RP in this time, but only because I had 4 qts of it lying around, and no use for it. 

IMO, RP is about the best oil you can get.  It's a true PAO synthetic, well engineered, decent price, and easy to come by.  BUT, I think it's much more than any street car needs.   At $6.50 - $7.00 a qt, not a sensible choice. 

For a street car, I'd recommend a good priced Group IV "synthetic oil", like Quaker State, Valvoline, or Penzoil.  They provide all the protection your street car needs, and a reasonable price. 

Unless you can get Mobile 1 at a good price, I would not recommend it.  It's also a group IV just like the others; but a lot more expensive.  It's a good oil, just not a good value. 

At my next oil change, I'll switch to one of the others.

Royal Purple all the way through with K&N filters, Jack.

I use mobil 1 in my astro van.The ford dealer does my mustang oil changes because they have this engines for life deal as long as you let them change the oil . It does not cost me anything. According to the dealer they say their oil is a synthetic blend ,otherwise if I were to change it myself I would use mobil 1.
