[QUOTE="Pinned, post: 1671668, member: 49788"] Any 5W30 full synthetic that meets the 946-B1 Ford spec and is SN Plus or better will be totally fine. If you're changing every 5k miles you'll be OK with any oil meeting that spec. There is a lot of discussion about using "euro" oils with higher HTHS ratings in turbo engines for better shear resistance on longer oil changes - if you wanted to go for a longer oil change interval or the truck is seeing heavy boost usage in high temps then it might be worth finding an oil with a 3.5+ HTHS rating. I've never had a problem with Amsoil, Redline, Royal Purple, etc but they don't test any better than any other SN Plus oil from Mobil, Castrol, etc. Often you can pick up great full synthetic oils that work for this truck (5W30 is awesome for that reason) for ~$30 for 6 quarts on sale. Makes it less painful to do frequent, 5k oil changes. [/QUOTE]
