Anyone use Quaker State Full Synthetic Oil

Hey guys I went to buy some oil the other day "Motorcraft" and I saw Quaker State Full Synthetic Torque Power oil its about $20 for 5qts so I was thinking about useing that the next time I change my oil what do you think?
Also in my manuel it says to use 5W30 and the Haynes says 5W20?
I bought 5W30 is that ok to use? Its for my 2000 Expedition 5.4L with 83K.
Thanks ~Gage~

Use the 5W-30, the engine runs more quiet than it does with the 5W-20.

5w-30 is for the V6. It needs it to remove the extra heat it makes being it don't make much power and has to work harder.
