What kind of oil to use?

[divided]

Im coming up on my first oil change, and the previous owner always used mobil 1 synthetic 5 w 20. Should i stick with this or is their anything better?

You can buy Motorcraft filters at many other places for a LOT less than what the dealer is going to charge you!:idea:

German Castrol 0W-30 works badass for me!

Motorcraft 5w-20 and MC filter. If its good enough for ford engine builders its good enough for me. Been using it since day one. Now have 52K on it. No tick no trouble.

[PonyFever]

Mobil 1 for me. No issues.

AMSoil ALS 5w30 with MC filter

 

[Nutty 5.0]

About to try the new 0-30w Amsoil sig. series and one of their filters.

 

[Common]

Fully synthetic 5W-30 or 5W-20, pretty much matter of preference. 6.5 quarts is JUST right.

AMSoil FTW!!
