oil change

First oil change on my 2014 Ford Triton V-10 on F53 chassis. The manual says "SAE 5W-20 or equivalent". Should I go synthetic or conventional?
  • I would use conventional as that engine is not broken in yet and the rings and other parts break in better with that type, as synthetic is too "slippery" for the lack of a better word.. Run it for the first 5,000 miles or so and then decide..
