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

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.

Ecoboost driver here. 2012 and 95k miles

Have only used either synthetic blend from Ford or Mobil 1.

No reason other than I don’t want to have to change my oil as much and I support Mobil oul
