Ford synthetic oil?
I'm due for my first oil change and my dealer offers Ford brand synthetic motor oil. Anyone used this product I would be interested in your opinion.

Thanks,

Eric

I'd use Mobil 1 or Valvoline Extreme Blue before swapping to the MC stuff. I've been VERY happy with either of those two.

Profile says he has a gasser. I think Ford spec for the 5.4L is now 5w-20, which the Motorcraft synthetic is rated for, seems like pretty good oil.
