I have a 2012 with the 5.0 and 77,000 miles which always used conventional oil . Due for an oil change which oil would be best? Sticking with conventional or switching to full synthetic, synthetic blend, high mileage synthetic, high mileage conventional, etc

Motorcraft factory oil, which is a synthetic blend, is best option. It's also $18 for a 5 quart jug at Walmart. Can't go wrong.

Agreed

Not to start a heated discussion but...

I was in Rural King the other day and found the 5 quart jugs of Harvest King 5W-20 full synthetic oil for under $9 a jug, and a 12 1/2% rebate. I checked Bob the oil guy site and they say it is good to go, not as big an additive package as Mobil 1.

Tothemax

Never heard of it.

It is a Mystic oil manufactured by Citgo, has dexos1 certification and API SN rated.

I run regular Valvoline full synthetic. That is what I run in my wife's truck and it has 126K-miles on it. My 99 Toyota gets the Valvoline High Mileage synthetic. Frankly, I don't think it makes a difference.

What does your OM recommend?

A good full synthetic is going to be your best option. Semi Synthetic is what the manual calls for. I use Mobil 1 full synthetic and still change it at 5000 miles. Ford says I can go 7500 with full synthetic, but I'd rather stick with the 5K interval.
