Castol SYNTEC Blend here. At the moment I'm running 5W30. When I got this BII the valvetrain ticked like it was going to fall out. Since I've been running the SYNTEC Blend it's drastically reduced. I've always liked blends in my ATV's & motorcycles and I'm glad I switched to it in my cars too. At less then $3.50 a quart it's cheap protection. I'll have to do another report in few years to share what the long term results are.

Haha. I use 10w30 in mine, synthetic blend, Mobil1. Err.. I did before it all ran out on the road and in a parking lot.. but I'm taking apart everything and porting and polishing and new lifters and all that fun stuff. Hopefully no ticking then.
Some people also have luck with MMO (Marvel Mystery Oil).

I use 20-50 out here in the Desert. My bronco has well over 200,000 miles on it, and it works great. The ticking was horrible when I got the BII (about 130,000 miles). When I put 20-50 in it the ticking reduced by at least half.
