I have had a myriad of vehicles and am always looking for the best ways to keep my junks up and running and plugging down the road.
A little background: I was afforded the opportunity to get certified as a Pertoleum Labratory Specialist, which means I was taught how to run the full variety of petroleum and petroleum based products through an assortment of SAE and other spec tests and testing methods. Now this does not make me an expert, but gives me a good working knowledge of a variety of petroleum products. I have a background with Subarus over the past few years and through alot of research came to be a user of Rotella T6 in my little turbo motor. Whilst I drive like a maniac, after UOA and recommendations I was going between 7,500 and 10,000 miles between services. I would like to duplicate that sort of performance in my 5.4 Expedition and the wife's 4.6 Explorer.
So now that we got all that silliness and my OCD knowledge ******* out of the way:
What oil do you use in your 4.6/5.4 engine? Why?
What oil filter do you use in your 4.6/5.4 engine? Why?
