Started using Mobil 1 full synthetic 5w-30 after 10,000 miles on engine. Now have 94,000 miles no problems. I use the extended service Mobil 1 synthetic and change oil and filter between 5 & 7,000 miles.
Side Note: Our manual spec'd 5w-30 oil, later Ford issued a Technical Service Bulletin (TSB) recommending use of 5w-20 oil for supposedly a bit better fuel mileage, however, living in the hot desert I opted to continue using the 5w-30 oil.
Good luck with your choice of Oil and safe travels....:)
