Oil change question
We are doing our own oil changes now and the Firehawk is ready for it. Could someone please provide the oil filter #, how many quarts are needed, and what oil type you would recommend?
Thanks!
Thanks!

Just grab 5 qts of your favorite oil. Any Synthetics are good. (everyone has their own brand they use)

mobile 1 is snake oil, all trash my friend. use valvoline, or castrol, if your going to spend the money, the only synthetic I would mess with is Royal Purple , best oil hands down, I run it in everything, matter a fact its the only syn. oil you can use in the entire powertrain.
Re: Oil change question
wix has been known to have the best filter hands down.

Re: Oil change question
Never understood why they do X 1/2 quarts of oil when oil comes in full quarts. I'm glad I got a 6 quart oil pan when I did my 396. All I had to do is get a longer dipstick, cut it to fit and mark it after filling it up.
And it bugs me that most windshield washer resevoirs I've seen hold just shy of a gallon too.

Re: Oil change question
BULLSHET!!!!!! Mobil 1 and Pennzoil Ultra are regarded as one of the THE BEST synthetics. ONLY they use Group 4 PAO synthetic oil(Amsoil). Where you get your info from?????ali wrote: mobile 1 is snake oil, all trash my friend. use valvoline, or castrol, if your going to spend the money, the only synthetic I would mess with is Royal Purple , best oil hands down, I run it in everything, matter a fact its the only syn. oil you can use in the entire powertrain.
If you don't know or not sure......don't post!

The API classifies oils into five different groups.
Group I base oils are the least refined of all of the groups. They are usually a mix of different hydrocarbon chains with little or no uniformity. While some automotive oils use these stocks, they are generally used in less demanding applications.
Group II base oils are common in mineral based motor oils. They have fair to good performance in the areas of volatility, oxidation stability, wear prevention and flash/fire points. They have only fair performance in areas such as pour point and cold crank viscosity. Group II base stocks are what the majority of engine oils are made from. 3000 mile oil changes are the norm.
Group III base oils are subjected to the highest level of refining of all the mineral oil stocks. Although not chemically engineered, they offer improved performance in a wide range of areas as well as good molecular uniformity and stability. By definition they are considered a synthesized material and can be used in the production of synthetic and semi-synthetic lubricants. Group III is used in the vast majority of full synthetics or synthetic blends. They are superior to group I and II oils but still have limitations. Some formulations are designed for extended oil changes. AMSOIL XL Motor Oils, Castrol Syntec and many others fall into this category.
Group IV are polyalphaolefins (PAO) which are a chemically engineered synthesized basestocks. PAOs offer excellent stability, molecular uniformity and performance over a wide range of lubricating properties. AMSOIL SAE Synthetic Motor Oils and Mobil 1 primarily use group IV basestocks. PAO is a much more expensive basestock than the highly refined petroleum oil basestock of Group III.
What turned me off to Royal Purple were several poor used oil analysis reports I reviewed, and the fact that they did not say on their website what type of basestock they used. Other companies such as Redline, Mobil 1, and AMSOIL were very up front with their basestock, so I wondered what Royal Purple was trying to hide.

Re: Oil change question
I use Mobil1 Synthetic in my Hawk, 6 quarts. The AC Delco oil filter part number is PF46E. It's recommended that 5w30 be used in the car.ladyhawke wrote:We are doing our own oil changes now and the Firehawk is ready for it.
