Synthectic Oil for your Ecoboost
#21
Penzoil Platinum or Penzoil Ultimate 5w-30 SN would be good choices. So would Mobil 1 0w/5w-30. All 3 available at walmart and meet all the specifications Ford requires.

Don't get too caught up in the "synthetic" marketing term. Most synthetics are actually Group III oils, which are not man made. Group III can be marketed here in the US as synthetic, but not in Europe. Synthetic is mainly a marketing tool now, rather than group rating.

IM sure there is nothing wrong with Amsoil I have used there gear lube with great success but to the best of my knowledge Amsoil moter oil is not API certified for gasoline engines and therefor could void your warrenty even if changed at the recomended intervals. As per Ford owners manual. Just a thought
Amsoil has several gasoline oils that are API certified. Your warranty isn;t going anywhere.

Granted that sopus sometimes has typos in their TDS's but I like some of these numbers, especially the noack . . . Also this is for the SN version only

Other than a higher cost, there's no reason not to use a synthetic oil.
Traditional motor oil starts breaking down at 270 degrees, while synthetic is still going strong at 320.
Oil engineers love throwing cheapo oil in a pan, heating it up, and seeing how quickly they can get it out of spec.

Well I think RP is a little overpriced, I am sure it is good oil though. In addidtion they have this quote on their website
So if your truck is still under warranty, I would pass . . .
For those seeking enhanced performance in vehicles not under warranty, we recommend our HPS Series of high performance motor oils

A good oil. I used it in a build gm 350 and a 360 in a dodge dakota. It will bypass the rings and burn off some so keep and eye on it. I would not use it untill the motor is well broken in.
A lot of go cart tracks use RP in the little motors because it suppose to run cooler.
Most semi and full synthetics are better than base oils. Base oils also work great if you change the oil like your supposed to .
