no, because your car does not come with synthetic oil.

What oil did you buy? I thought the motorcraft was a blend.

The motocraft is a "blended" synthetic oil. Billyjo and Thurman are correct in that our cars dont have fully synthetic from the factory, but that is not what the question was.

To answer the question 5w20 grade is available in convential, semi and fully synthetic oil.
