Originally posted by Cueball: I noticed the owner's manual calls for a 5W20 Premium Synthetic Blend motor oil. What's that? I used Mobil 1 in the SVT and was hoping to get away from it with this car. Is this some sort of half dino/half synthetic oil?
At least I can keep my stock of FL-820-S filters, this car uses the same filter!
most 5w-20s are semi synthetic. Over on www.bobistheoilguy.com Motorcraft 5w-20 has been giving some phenomenol wear numbers. I switched from M1 5-30 to MC 5-20, and I'm very happy with it. No loss of performance, and the engine is much quieter. You have no fear and nothing to lose by using MC 5-20. Plus its spec'd by Ford for your vehicle...a win-win combo.
