what oil do i use?

[SLOPONY]

Can any one lead me in a good direction as to what oil and filter to use in my JDM stroker motor? I have a forged 298 CI JDM motor with CNC'd heads.

I just bought the car, and wondered what is the best oil to run in it, and what filter to use.

Use Motorcraft. That is what they use.

We normally break out engines in now with Valvoline VR1 10-30 Racing oil. After a while we'll switch to Factory ford 5w20 syn blend. We use that for all the stock engine cars as well. You could use a 5w 30 in the summer time.

I have been using 5w20 all the time, mobil one. Im assuming this is fine. I had al ot of peopel tell me to use a thicker oil all the time, especially because VCT was locked out. What are your thoughts?

Thats a good oil Ron, id didnt mention that but we will use it too. We like using the VR1 because it has a high zinc content and helps seat the rings better. The thicker oil is a good suggestion for a 3V car especially supercharged because of the excess heat let off by the blower. With the VCT locked out i dont think it would make one bit of difference to be honest with you.
