Not a great poll...you're leaving out dozens of options. If you have a gas engine the only two choices that are appropriate are "Motorcraft".

Not sure I voted right. I don't think motorcraft has a conventional anymore. But the synthetic blend isn't full synthetic either.

I use the blend.

For my 2011 6.7L, it's always been serviced at the dealer. About the same price as having the oil change done anywhere else, but they use the Ford Motorcraft filter and whatever oil they use, and they can't challenge whether it's being done properly in case of ESP issues

Depends on where you're asking. It's called "Super Premium Motor Oil" in Canada.

The term "Synthetic blend" is meaningless...they could add a teaspoon of synthetic to a jug of conventional and sell it as a blend.

I have an oil change package with my dealer that I couldn't pass up. Motorcraft oil and filter on my 6.7l. Just don't think its synthetic.
