Whatever full synthetic is on sale. Usually Mobil 1, Pennzoil Platinum or Castrol Edge.

How much is Motorcraft synthetic? I already go to the dealer for motorcraft filters, if the oil is as good as people say then I might as well save myself an extra trip and get everything there.

Why switch brands of oil. Stick with one brand of oil. It's not good to keep changeing oil brands

My grandfather who was a ford mechanic for over 40 years always told me never switch oil brands in cars or trucks. And always said stick with Oem parts

Nothing wrong with switching oil brands IMO, however, I do agree with sticking with oem for most parts.
