What oil are you running in your 2.7L?

[Arc]

After this thread, I actually added a column for tire rotation interval. I also have this for my Mustang and my wife's Mercedes. The Mustang has like 35 lines of maintenance/upgrades/dealer recalls and service.

What @FamousMatt really needs to know from the group is how many quarts of oil to add on his first oil change. Discuss...

Try getting your oil and filter at RockAuto. Great prices and very quick turn around. Ordered on June 29th and received on June 30th.

Just make sure to read it all, because the Dexos 1 Gen3 oils are far worse than the Dexos 1 Gen2 oils. Can't really go wrong with the top 75 ranked oils.

Any of you guys running UOAs? My concern is fuel dilution and running oil for 10K miles. I had 2.5% on my first OC which could be related to the engine needing to break in, but if it stays at 2.5% or higher, I will not be running long change intervals.
