Dealer service replaces mine with Motorcraft 5-20 synth-blend. Same as what they're shipped with.

I may eventually go with AmsOil throughout the car but I just haven't felt like it yet.

this has been beaten to death. there are oil filter comparision charts on here and i pulled the info for a synthetic oil comparison.

Royal Purple does NOT meet the newer oil guidelines, which tells me ford will use it as a reason to void your warranty if a problem ever came up.

They get answered less and less too since there are so many....that is why i recommended the search. I know there is a thread with 3 pages of replies at least.
