I don't drink coffee so I can't give you an opinion if it is any good. My wife does drink coffee but has not tried it yet. Will let you know what she says when she tries it.

My Dealership serves Green Mountain coffee in the waiting room for FREE.
I like the Forest Blend and the Hazelnut.

I was going to do this, but then found it was cheaper to buy the 5-quart jug at Wal-Mart. Didn't think the mug and coffee were worth the extra 6 bucks.

What are you going to do with just 5 quarts ?
For the Duratec, you need 6.5 quarts for an oil change !
The case is for 6 quarts, not 5, and you need an additional quart
to top off the .5 after you empty the case!

5 quart jug: $17
Last quart: $4.50
Total price: $21.50
Case Price: $27.50
Duratec oil capacity (non-SVT, if that makes a difference), 5.5 quarts. (And I don't buy the "extra oil" theory.) For that matter, I still have a .5 sitting around from my last change, so the jug is all I need.
This is the first year I've actually caught the Wal-mart jugs. They usually seem to sell them for a short time, and then never re-stock. 5W-30 sells out quickly. If I had missed it, I would have gone for the case deal.

Roger, READ YOUR MANUAL.
Duratec and SVT Duratec both use 5.8 quarts with a filter change.
Rousch racing ran a test on our Duratecs.
At 5000 rpm there is less than 1/2 quart of oil left in the oil pan.
There should be at least a full quart in the pan at that RPM.
That is why they suggest we run with at least 6.3 quarts, which is .5 quarts more than what Ford suggests.
Why do you think so many Duratecs are throwing rods ?
You can run with what you want, but for the extra $2.25 for .5 quart,
it is cheap insurance against having to deal with a blown engine.
I've been running 6.5 quarts for the last 20,000 miles.
MPG is the same and the engine feels stronger with the Mobil 1 than with Dyno Oil.
Now, my next Oil change will be with Mobil 1 with SuperSyn.
