I use 5-20 like the oil cap suggests in full synthetic.

You will need 6 total.

+1 with the mobil1 use a quality filter to such as a mobil 1 filter, the over all oil change may cost more then if you were to use a typical "generic" oil but its worth the extra insurance imo

I run six quarts of Mobil1 full synthetic 10W-30 with Motorcraft FL-820S filter. I change it myself every 5000 miles. Sometimes I add half a can of SeaFoam 100 miles before I change it.
