Synthetic lasts longer than conventional, especially at higher temps. I use 5w-30 and it quiets the motor down more than the 20

Mobil 1 5/30 and Motorcraft filter here. I've been running it for 50k miles with no complaints at all.

The previous owner used Motorcraft 5/30 and Motorcraft filter for roughly 30k miles.

Oil is oil. As long as you routinely do your maintenance I was told this by mechanics that tear down motors all the time.

I agree. If Mobil 1 is used in 1000HP+ motors then I would use it on my stock Triton,.

Yup. Motorcraft factory filter and Mobil 1 5W20 for me. I change my oil every 10,000km.
