What Oil do you put in your F?

I was so upset and disappointed that a master tech couldn't at least read the engine took 5w-30. My go to tech was on vacation! It turns out if you own an ISF, you must make an appointment...this way you can clarify the make and model and they should order the right oil before you get it changed at the dealership. I was also told since it wasn't a common model, they weren't accustomed to stocking 5w-30 frequently. Being that the RCF was getting around that they were going to begin stocking 5w-30. Moral of the story, can't trust the dealership.
I started bringing in redline 5w-30 and monitor as my go to tech puts it in. I don't let anyone else touch the car! Redline feels fantastic on the F...every time I drive the car it feels like I just changed the oil! The best part, it feels the same way throughout the 5k interval. Before, the car felt fresh in the first couple days and week...after a while, it started feeling tired and idled noisy. Now it's smooth and quite. Anyways, sorry for the long post!

I had a situation at my dealership two intervals back, where I found out they put in the incorrect viscousity. They claim they use the same oil for every car. They have an oil drum thats connected to a pressure hose through the ceiling at every maintenance station. They also have the nitrogen hose and other fast convenient lines running next to each other. This way the mechanic, can change your oil, air up your tires, blow air to clean parts, etc.

I purchase it through Amazon...two 1 gallon jugs that's 8 quarts at $47.11 each & two 1 quart bottles for $11.95 each. I order ahead of time to avoid shipping costs...yeah I know not the most convenient or cost effective. Regardless, I'm sold! It truly feels awesome on the car...I had ticking noise that was getting louder and louder from the engine and now it's gone! Also, I had burned off 2 quarts of oil with the conventional stuff the dealership was putting in. I had the LOW OIL LEVEL light come on at only 3600k of driving. The dealership claimed I was driving the car too hard?...😡😡😡🤔🤔🤔. I set them straight real quick...The first time I switched over to redline, I immediately felt the difference! The feel of the car never went away throughout the interval. The second interval felt even better. I've had no issues thus far! Do some research and let the reviews speak for themselves. Oh! And I never changed my driving habits...it's an F!

I was a fan of Castrol Syntec before, but after a few months it just turns black and when it comes out it looks like old iced tea mixed with coal.
RedLine has been around for a while (Benicia, CA) and a lot of people trust their motor and gear oils.
Give it a shot, form your opinion.

Funny how everyone like to say "this feels better" but no one posts anything useful like a used oil analysis.
Sure Red Line is good oil, and so is RP, but do they make a measurable difference in an NA engine? My UOA says not at all.
Mobil 1 5w-30 in my F with UOA to back up my claims from the very beginning. Bring your data to prove me wrong if you even have it.

What else can they tell you that you may not already know? I mean, they can say your engine is wearing out at this rate or this way..........ok, all engines wear out, that's the nature of the beast.
What else can one benefit from with these tests? Can they tell him to switch to a different oil or grade?
