Motorcraft synthetic blend or switch to full synthetic

Just bought a 2010 Winnebago class C (Ford V10) with 8000 miles. Would like opinions on whether to stay with the Ford Motocraft synthetic blend oil or change to fully synthetic oil. I would be using Valvoline fully synthetic. I appreciate all responses!
Thanks,
Steve

    YEAH!!!!!
  • If you can take advantage of extended oil change intervals, then that's a good reason to switch to full synthetic. But if you only change your oil once a year because you don't drive more than 5,000 miles a year, just stick with the blend.

    I run MolyLube/LubroMoly full synthetic, but I also go as far as 12,000 miles between oil changes.
