    Mobil 1 Syn 10w-30, E3 plugs, Motorcraft Filter. I can already notice improvement from the plugs. Gained 1mpg on my way to work. Also, i was 1 quart low on oil. Not bad for runnin that batch of oil for almost 10k miles. Gonna try and find some time this week to do my read diff.

    i normally go 7k on a filter and never a problem. i actually think that goin the 10k was the reason i was a quart short. I have never been a quart short goin 7k on one filter fyi. and i would only run a Motorcraft Filter over the 6k mark. but thats just MHO
