Any engine that runs at higher temps benefits from synthetic oil.

I just got full synthetic motorcraft put in mine (5.0).

Can I expect 10,000 miles on that oil?

Don’t go over your manuals stated limits until you are out of your power train warranty. But yes you can

5 years 60k on the current models I believe. But if you purchased an extended warranty only you know.

I've just always considered it unnecessary for lack of a better term. But someone recently said oh man with the ecoboost you absolutely have to use synthetic. I'm going to go full synthetic just wondering what others are doing.

Wireless in the big house was crap, man.

PB, I'd go 10K on synthetic and never give it a thought unless short trips/dusty conditions.

Mobil 1 and Castrol are especially good.

Most people dont know crap about synthetic vs standard oil. I personally dont waste my money on the synthetic crap. You have to worry about particulates before oil breakdown on vehicles.

A turbo engine, like the ecoboost has more of a chance of sucking in particulates.

Use conventional and change at about 7000.
