Changed my oil a little before 2500 miles and i am getting ready to do another on(truck says in about 600 miles)! What is everyone running for oil? The first change I just went with the motor craft partial synthetic but would it be better to run full synthetic?

Motorcraft full synthetic every 10,000 miles or if the built in computer says sooner.

LiquiMoly synthetic - what the base auto hobby shop had. I’ll just run synthetic as it’s cheap enough. Unless I find cheap blended mitorcraft

I run Quaker State synthetic because it's cheap and works fine. ANY synthetic that meets the current Ford spec is sufficient. Yes, even Super Tech from WalMart. I would hesitate to follow the OLM though, I never go above 5,000 miles on a change. I don't care what brand and what their promises may be; oil is cheap, motors aren't.

Filters are dime a dozen. I buy Champ PH500XL's from Rock Auto, otherwise any decent synthetic media filter is fine. Go here for more in depth info. https://bobistheoilguy.com/forums/

Quaker State Ultimate Protection 5w30 with Motorcraft oil filter. This is the new QS 20,000 mile advertised oil for super cheap at Walmart. Run it 5,000 miles.

Cooking burgers and hotdogs is not BBQing, it's grilling! Thx, All of Texas!
I'll pile on too.... I have different feelings about:
- 100% synthetic oils.
- Extended oil changes.

I always use a Motorcraft FL-500S oil filter.
5w-30 Motorcraft Synthetic Blend per the owners manual.
At 1000 miles, then again at 5000 miles and every 5000 miles there after.

Read the full spec on the back of the bottle and what is required by ford. FULL SYN FROM MY RESEARCH. My neighbor has a ram 1500 and was using regular oil until I made him aware of a wicked startup knock. He thought he could save a few bucks. Switched back to full syn after our talk. Good luck.

Sorry, I'm not following... That it's OK to use full synthetic oil or owners *must* use full synthetic oil or correcting my "per the owners manual" part of my post?

Syn Blend is per the owners manual *and* so is Full Syn.

Motorcraft Synthetic Blend meets the same specification: WSS-M2C961-A1
