So I have owned my 2000 Superformance MK III for a year and I have had nothing but an absolute blast owning it. I have put 3,000 miles on it and I am ready to change the
oil before the upcoming driving season. I have a Ford SVO C460 motor manufactured by AER Mfg. The paperwork from AER I obtained when I purchased the Cobra calls for 20W 50 racing
oil. The current installed
oil filter is a standard Purolator L300001. Would I gain more protection from using a high(er) performance filter or is a standard (Purolator, Fram, Motorcraft, etc.) filter good enough? I have no plans on racing the car or even pushing it close to it's limit.
I have read the thread on motor oil and I think I am going to stick to 20W 50 since that is what the manufacturer recommended.
