Hi Ron, I highly recommend using Mobil 1 5w-20 motor oil in place of
Motorcraft synthetic blend. It’s great oil. Ask your dealer what they use in their new cars. Synthetic blend just keeps you going back for more frequent changes where they get to sell you stuff. By way of example, Mobil 1 is the only oil Nissan uses at their dealerships in their cars. Anyway Your engine will thank you! Stick with the
motorcraft oil filter FL-2021. it’s one thing they do particularly well. I use their Ford Performance Racing filter in my Mustang GT but that’s another story. Also I really like repalcing the
Motorcraft cabin filter with the
Fram Fresh Breeze with Arm & Hammer & odor eliminator...
part #CF9465A about $17 on
Amazon. You can drive behind a diesel powered vehicle and not smell a thing. Many years ago I was an old school PA state inspection mechanic. My favorite saying to customers especially the ones that were always past their mileage limit, was telling them oil is the cheapest thing you can put in your car to give it a long life. So pay a little more for Full Synthetic and you will extend the life of your engine. Be safe out there and best of luck with your new ride.
