With x regular oil changes from the get go, should never need it.
Odd can in the fuel tank = money well spent.

Sweet. I've been pretty religious with my oil changes. Every 5000ish. Full synthetic 5W50 Mobil1.
Some people found that the new 5.0 consumes oil. I haven't lost a drop yet and it's well past it's break in period. I guess it's all in the maintenance.
They could also be running 5W20. Pretty sure that's what non track pack cars call for. That's a pretty light oil. I wouldn't trust it.
Good to hear.
One last foam question. I'm almost gonna need to fuel up. If I add a can of foam and fill it up is it ok to drive hard with the seafoam in there?
Thanks for the info guys, I will see if the ticking gets better or worse and go from there. Not gonna change the oil just yet since it was just done.
Damn I wish I had found out about running 10w30 before I bought oil for my next change (also just changed it) Ive been running syn 5w20 per the manual
I put it in my coffee.
Yep, I've been running 10w30 in my stang since suggested by Rick. Smoke on cold start is almost 100% gone compared to pretty good smoke on previous oil.
I run the same in my Merc.
