Mobile one but have to add 1/2 a quart every 2500 miles. A lot of other 5.0 owners have the same thing but say it slowly goes away.

Motorcraft. Same as what it came with. Put a lot of miles on all my Fords and never had a problem.

If I feel like spending more money though, Mobil 1.

No oil change yet for me, but my plan is to use M1 5W-30 for my EB.
It is on sale at Costco every once in a while, at a good price. So that's what I get.

Ecoboost 3.5L

Winter: Mobil 1 0W-30 (meets Ford Spec)

Spring/summer/fall: Mobil 1 5W-30

And always, the Motorcraft FL-500S filter, bought them on Amazon a while back for about $4 each, so I bought a bunch!

I thought Ford wants us to put 5W-30 into the EB?
