does anyone know which oil to use when doing oil change? does it require synthetic oil or does it make the performance better?

too lazy to check the Manuel lol

I'm too lazy to respond.

From a moderators perspective, I loathe oil threads. The specifications for oil for any car are right in the manual. As for brands, who cares. If it meets the specification, it's fine. If you want to debate oil, better to go to BITOG and wade through all the BS there.

Hey Moe either synthetic blend or full Also you get oil changes free for the first 2 years . Call your dealer to set up the maintenance .

Not that it matters for a few years, but the OEM recommend oil is the same as I use in the Stangs. Motorcraft 5-30 semi synthetic. Wish they sold it around here in the 5 quart container. As I'm not a fan of fast oil changes!

i usually make a oil change every 8-10K miles, i think i will go to a local mechanic VS dealer since i have to travel and they will always find some problems which means $$

Even finding an independent shops that specializes in Fords will serve you well, usually they're no-B.S., just get the job done.

I'm almost due for my first oil change, BUT I am doing it at 5,000KM, so I will stay with the stock oil Motorcraft 5/30 weight....will change it out again at 10,000 then switch to Mobil1 full synthetic...been using that in my Mustangs since their 10,000 mark.
