Ok, I just checked the manual and it does indeed say 5w-20 synthetic blend is "recommended". And as I thought, it also "recommends" at least 87 octane fuel. So go ahead and use regular dino oil and some 83 octane fuel and let me know how that works for ya

Look at your oil fill cap
I just had Mobile 1 (fully synthetic) put in mine!

Yeah, I meant to mention the v6/v8 difference... but I'm a bastard and only care about myself and my v8 
I'm putting in full synth on the next oil change at 5000.

Ya got me there... for the record I'm not a GT snob. I love mine to death, but I know the v6 folks feel the same way and you should. Its a Mustang!
Sorry 'bout the oil weight confusion.

I'll have to double check, but I believe the owners manual does not require ("need") synthetic, but recommends a synthetic blend (and naturally, the brand that Ford has a shared interest in)
My BMW actually REQUIRED it in its owners manual, and some say it is due to the high compression engine, though I'm not mechanically-educated enough to argue that point.
