Which oil to use in a coyote engine? What I chose and why! 

Pennzoil Ultra Platinum and a purolator BOSS filer, run that In all I own, so far so good. Great info.

There’s a guy on RU-vid called Project Farm, he does a lot of really good tests on products. He did an oil shootout with all the top brand oils and had some really good results. I like the idea of OEM oil filters! 👍🏽. I personally use shell Rotella T-6 0-40 Diesel engine oil on every motor I have. Been using it for years and never let me down. It’s high in zinc and phosphorus which are the additives that reduce friction. I used to have an oil for this and an oil for that, but not anymore T-6 0W40 for everything 👌🏽👍🏽

I have a 2013 F-150 5.0 4×4 Super Crew cab. I bought it this past summer with 174,000 miles on it. It now has 185,780 miles. Engine has the usual mechanical sounds that some guy's talk about, but has no negative effects on performance. I'm glad I ran into your video, because this subject has been on my mind for the past two oil changes on this 5.0 coyote engine. I'm definitely going to change the oil over to this Quaker 5w-30 synthetic this coming oil change. Thanks again 👍

i have a 5.0 2020 f150 and 2020 mustang gt. the GT's owner's manual says to swap out the oil to 5w-30 when "going to the track." I find it strange alot of people dont bring this interesting detail up!!

I personally use Valvoline or motorcraft oil with an Napa platinum filter (made by wix) or an motorcraft filter. Never had problems with my engines & always ran my fords to 300-550,000 miles. Great video I came across & I should try quaker state

Redline all the way 5w20 in winter 5w30 in summer Motorcraft oil filter My coyote loves me!

I just started using 5.30 in my GT. I think the manufactures recommend a lighter oil for slightly better fuel consumption... very slight but the engin wears out faster so pick your poison

there is two drains on that filter pan, it is a pain in the butt... always a mess... 5w-20 through 5w-50 is what ford calls for in the coyote engines depending which vehicle. that engineers blog is spot on, it is a bit lofty but good information and he is testing with proper equipment. in our truck the oil doesn't get hot at all until towing , then it get up to temp.. 5w-30 should help..

great find i skimmed the blog as it is extremely long.. i concur with your conclusion and will be getting the Quaker State as well

Gen4 Coyote changed to 5w-30 per Ford. This is 21-22 engines. 7.75 quarts in this gen - changed from 8+ in gen 3.

I just read the link for 540 RAT. He said the best 5W30 oil to use. Quaker State full synthetic 5W30.

I use Napa synthetic and Quaker state ultimate durability with a wix xp or k@n gold oil filter . Pennzoil platinum is good too .

Quaker state full synthetic is a great oil for sure.

I use Rotella t6 5w-40 in the F150 and royal purple 5w-30 in the mustang. 20 quarts of oil over here

i have a 3800 supercharged and 3.5 Ford duratec, I do 5K OCI, always quaker state full synthetic, it's the best bang for you buck seriously great oil

Good video! I've been thinking of switching my coyote F150 to 5w30 lately. I've always run Amsoi oil and filtersl in all of my vehicles. This blog rates it right at the top but that Quaker State is a hard price to beat and it too got excellent ratings from the blog.

I had a 2012 Ecoboost, bought it used with 60k miles. Timing chains went before Christmas 2016, bent some valves. Cold starts here in the Arctic are brutal on an engine. Put in a reman motor from Ford in January 2017. Only ever ran Amsoil 5W-30 with Ford FL500S filter in it. Motor is still running strong now 5 years later.

Hold the gas pedal to the floor when starting it up. It won’t fire up when the throttle is to the floorand will create oil pressure before it fires up 👌🏽

You will be fine. I know a guy running 5w50 in a boosted coyote with no problems for years.

Oil is always a good subject. I know some oil companies use the cheapest grade of oil to refine into motor oil for vehicles. Then they market it as the best at high prices. Good research Ponie. Thank you for looking out for us on motor oil. I will leave everyone with one thought When was the last time a motor or trans diff failed because of the oil. Lack of oil, oil pressure more then likely. P.S. Bossman is slow. Lol

Amsoil 5W30 Signature Series and a motorcraft filter for my 2019 coyote. Also, for an engine with 12:1 comp, I run top tier Shell premium 93 exclusively.

If you read the 540 Rat Blog, you will notice that the author ranked Amsoil 100% Synthetic Signature Series 0W-20 Motor Oil the top 20 weight oil that was specifically designed for your Ford vehicles. By the way, the author didn't rank the QS Ultimate Durability Full Synthetic the top 5W-30 oil, but it was the QS Full Synthetic that won the top honors in his opinion. According to the Safety Data Sheet, the 5W-30 QS Full Synthetic contains 70-90% distillates (derived from highly-refined petroleum oil).

Walmart had these in 5QT for 15$. Had to pick some up! Good choice.

I was using 5w-20 in my 5.0 f150 for many years. I just made the switch to 5w-30. It seems to help quite the valve train noise. My gen 3 coyote will also get 5w-30 but I might switch to 5w-50 since it's boosted if I go to a road track. Motorcraft makes good oil filters.

In the 80th and 90th i always used QUAKER STATE OIL for OLDSMOBILE ROYALE 88 changed every 3000 miles it has 185,780 miles

5w30 Pennzoil Ultra Platinum and OEM FL 500-S oil filter on my Procharged (P1X) 2020 PP1 GT - Oil change every 5k miles. That is all you need! If you are dogging the piss out of it, run 5w50. If you think you need more, run a LiquiMolly Cera Tec treatment as per directions. Any good synthetic oil will do however.

Last time I used Quaker state oil was back in 2001 on the sn95 I had.

Purchased a 2022 f 150 5.0 , I added a quart of oil at 2,000 miles . This kinda worried me, did I just buy a oil burner. I used 5w20 as per the oil cap. After 6,000 miles I had ford in Alabama change my oil , this of course was its first change. After leaving the dealer I saw the paperwork that stated 5w30 . I’m thinking a dealer put 5w30 as opposed to the cap stating 5w20 . As time went on I checked the oil because I knew it used a quart at the first 2,000 miles . Well no more consumption at this time. I was in South Dakota when it was time for another change at 12,000 so I went to ford again and they did my second change. That ford dealer also installed 5w30 all I know is I haven’t had any consumption since 2,000 mile mark . Do you go by the cap or 5w30 , just in case I do my own in the future.

I have one of the ticky ticky 5.0 engines in my 2018 F150 and the dealer puts in 10w - 30 oil in it for me and it seems to quiet it down for me!

Good info. . i have been using motorcraft 5w50 synthetic .. i may try this 5w30 .. it may free up some HP

how can super good oil cost $18 per 5 qts? Is Quakerstate in charity business?

There's a second passage from under the oil filter that goes behind the frame as well. Interesting idea that also ticks me off every time I change my oil. Pick a side and go with it Ford! lol

My 2018 mustang 5.0 I run Amsoil 5w50 it loves it

Great vid! I’m a huge Amsoil fan! I use it in all of my vehicles.

I wouldn't put a drop of Quaker State in any of my cars, especially a Coyote motor. I would rather use Pennzoil, or Mobil 1. Primarily used Mobil 1 in my 1st Gen coyote motor

I use Amsoil 5w20 been using it a long time, project farm has videos on all different oils and Amsoil beat everything but like you said you really can’t go wrong with good oil now days

I can’t believe Ford kept this oil drain pan for the 22’ F150. I had it in my 2015 5.0 and hated it. Plus if you’re like me, I wiped it down and it’s hard to get your hand up there. I didn’t want dripping oil on my driveway. Thanks for the video.

I use Pennzoil Ultra Platinum on my truck

The Castrol is recommended in the BMW manual

Interesting info dude. I'm sure I'll have a Coyote one day

Yeah the f150 drains to the back under the filter, not sure why they make the drip tray run to the front, be sure to clean all the oil out of the drip pan or when you take off it will drip off and make it look like you have a oil leak.

I WAS TRYING TO FIND THE BEST OIL BUT I MUST BE BLIND , WHERE DOES THIS OIL RANK ON HIS LIST ? AND WHAT IS THE EXACT BEST ?

Quaker state and penzoil are made in the same factory

I used motor craft 5w50 I have a friend that tested most of the oil out there and he said the best one was ams oil in the coyotes

HOW DOES THIS OIL RANK TO THE PENZOIL MADE BY NATURAL GAS ? I DID TRY TO GO THROUGHT THE WHOLE BLOG WOW MY BRAIN HURTS MAYBE A PAGE NUMBER WOULD HELP THANKS IN ADVANCE

You need a longer funnel. I just bought a 2015 F-150....the cap says 5w20, and the owner's manual says 5w30? I'm going 5w30 too.

Walmart supertech full synthetic oil, has all the fancy letters API donut, SN plus, GF6, for newer vehicles, and Dexos approved for only 14.65$ for 5 quartz at my local Walmart, been using it for 4 years. no difference from all the other name brands.

Good stuff I use motor craft too.

I'll try Quakerstate but I may switch back to Pennzoil

I use 5Q Royal Purple and 3Q Motorcraft.

I use motorcraft 5w30 in my 2020 ranger if i were to change oil it would be valvoline

Hows the quaker state treating you. Im bout to do an oil change on my 2nd gen. I usually use Pennzoil platinum but think im gonna try this stuff

Sounds good to me, as a factory ford technician, You Can't Go Wrong With OEM what ever Factory Recommended Fluid is in the book, witch will somewhat vary depending on the year and model, for warranty purposes, but adding the supercharger, couldn't hurt trying something better by some one that has done some testing and uses it himself at least it's not Pennzoil and you got the OEM filters so your good that drain thing catch it and drain out the back next time you will be ready for it lol Awesome intro BTW 💪👍🇺🇸🔧👌🚘🔴

Use a motorcraft on a Ford. No brainer.

my 2021 mustang gt has 5w-30 right on the oil fill cap,

I use mobile 1 5w20 in mine❤

Good to know thx!

Rotella t6 5w40. It's all in the add pack. Not the oil. 2011 gt no tick tick tock. Common sense would tell you. Common problems the rod bearings. If they were roller much would not matter on oil. But they are a highly friction peice. A place in a engine that requires film strength from the thickness of oil. Research thin oils do free up hp. But you will be rebuilding sooner. 5w 40 and 5w50 are best for 5.0. Add packs make the difference. Rotella oil vs any other voa. Research

I’m using 15w-50 Mobil 1 in my 2015 Roush stage3. For summer time. Winter I run 5w-30.

Can i use 5w50 all time (5.0 )

Motorcraft all day

My gen 3 uses 10 quarts 5w30 Motorcraft synthetic blend. Is motorcraft blend ok? I just reached my first 5000 miles. Did my forst oil change at 3000. 10 quarts 5w30.

He didnt test for sludge did he?

I have a 2014 f150 with gen 1 coyote engine and I bought it with 110k well maintained miles. It came from a gas co and the changed oil every 3k miles using reg oil ( not sure what brand). It was due for a change when I bought it. I started using Mobil 1 extended performance high mileage with a motorcraft filter and I’ve changed it three times at 5k miles intervals. Let me tell ya the first change was very dirty from the cleaner in the Mobil 1 but now on the 3rd time it doesn’t look near as bad. I’ve always use Mobil 1. It’s expensive at 29.97 for 5 q at Wally World

5w30, way to go!

I'm going back to 5w 30

Before I watch I use Mobil 1 5w30

Don't be fooled by the myth that expensive oils are better just because they have a special name and are a famous brand, that's just bullshit because people are ignorant. It is completely unimportant what brand the oil is. The important thing is that the oil meets the set requirements and not which brand. What you should look at is the API, ILSAC, ACEA classification of the oil. If the oil has classification ACEA A5 or ILSAC GF-4 or API SN/SP, the oil meets all the highest requirements from the car manufacturer, regardless of the brand of the oil. Then there is the viscosity of the oil... you cannot say generally which viscosity is best, it depends on where in the world you live. If you live in Alaska, you should drive on 0W-20, if you live in Texas, Florida, California, you should drive on 5W-40... or 10W-50, depending on the season. If you live in the middle part, you should use 5W-30. There is also a difference if the car is used for racing or if it is a daily use. Whether your car is tuned or cammed or not is of no importance as long as the oil meets the highest requirements.

C3 or Dexos rated 5w30 and change it early.

I have only used Motorcraft on my Coyote.

Yes sir how many miles between oil changes using that oil

I have heard mobil 1 is best? Thoughts?

Were is your oil funnel 👀🤔🤦🤦🤦😆😂😆😂

Im a Quaker State guy myself.

I use either 0-40 or 5-40 Diesel engine oil in everything.

If you are using 5w40 in a new ford modular engine with variable valve timing it is not good on the cam phasers small oil passageway if it is a old ford pushrod v8 are something you will be okay

Nice!!

Very informative. Livernois had us running 5w30 Royal Purple . 🤔

Let me tell you about my ecoboost chain rattle without motor craft oil

W stands for "Winter" not weight

What year is your truck

They keep adding more oil too mines 10qts

How is the oil consumption with the Quaker state

Rotella T6 5w-40. Thank me later

Use a funnel. No spills.

It’s good oil and I believe the Castrol Magnatec oil and Premium Guard filter are little better than Motorcraft

I’m inclined to think the engineers at Ford chose the best oil for the vehicles.

U know they make taller and bigger funnels

This and a little bit of Lucas.

5w20 oil is recommend by manufacturers due to fuel mileage

Larger funnel would be a buy. Lol

If you are doing OCI's that any car guy would be doing, any full synthetic oil is going to be more than fine, its a waste of time choosing which full synthetic oil to use, all of which having the same latest SP rating.

Buy oil filler adapter!

I use Chocolate milk and nicotine on my vehicles

Makes no difference it will burn all

Where the hell do you live to sweat that much?

I like mobil 1.....but I have read good things about Quaker State too.Supposed to be tough.Think 540 Rat uses it.

Most oils today are the same (same type of base oil) or similar... and therefore little difference The FULLY SYNTHETIC category is nearly all highly refined conventional Group III oils that display very similar characteristics and provide very similar level of protection. They are ALL not the best but also not bad. The oil change interval is far more important than brand selection. If it is a generic brand like NAPA or KIRKLAND or Walmart's house brand- SUPERTECH or so just change it 500 miles earlier and you are golden. If it's a big name you can go 500-600 miles longer than usual but that's it. 3,000-5,000 miles is the preferred interval with ALL of these oils. Reply

Amsoil is Gods oil

PENNZOIL ULTRA PLATINUM IS THE SECOND BEST OIL IN THE WORLD AND AMSOIL IS NUMBER ONE AND ADD PROLONG ENGINE TREATMENT OR TURBOMAX AND THAT IS THE GREATEST COMBINATIONS FOR ALL INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINES!!!!!
