I like the Motorcraft Synthetic Blend oil along with Motorcraft filters. Newer Fords call for 5W 20, 5W 30, older 10w 30 or 40. I stick to what the Owners Manual calls for, while my son disagrees with me on the oil weights, I have never had any problems. I try to change around 3500 miles.

My 95 I run 5w20 Valvoline full synthetic in and have no leaks at all and my truck was a beater truck that was lucky to get it's oil changed every 6000 to 8000 miles with 5w30 conventional once again like above stated it's all a preference thing. I work for Valvoline and have seen the tests on oils it's pretty crazy when u get the graphs and all the info complete together and that's why I use what I use. But in a 90 the recommend 5w30. I use 5w20 because my truck falls in the years for the tsb that ford put out

I could never put glorified canola oil in my truck

Trop-artic....... That's gas station oil ..... Talk about canola oil....... I'd put mobil in my truck before I'd get close to using that. Ashland makes some of the finest oils in the world and with all the research that is done they stay ahead of everyone else.
