Not sure if you want to go standard or synthetic, but keep in mind that the Brad Penn is a synthetic blend.

I know Roush states to use dino oil for the 1st 3,000 miles. Though I know Gunner's engine wasn't built by Roush, with 5,700 miles, he should fine with it in there. I was using Redline, but at around 500 miles, switched back to dino oil for now.

I think any of the oils mentioned will be great. I'd be tempted to use Redline again, since their ZDDP levels are high.

He has a reasonably mild, hydraulic cam FE. Almost any oil will be fine for him. Even the oil you buy at 7-11 because your oil light is flickering.

That's what that little light means on my dash.

Don't diss 7-11, they make really good hot dogs, and the best ones are the ones that have been rotating around for a few days already.

Yep, I've got nothing............................still nothing.
