    Full Synthetic or Blend for new F-150 5.0

    I picked up a ‘22 F-150 5.0 early in the year. The factory fill is Motocraft 5W30 blend. I plan on keeping this truck as long as possible. I’m not doing anything crazy with the truck besides normal homeowner work and hobbies. Price not being a factor, would you guys recommend continuing...

    Castrol Edge valvetrain noise???

    I picked up a 2015 F-150 5.0 last year with about 28k miles on it. For the life of me I cannot remember if my my first oil change of ownership was Motorcraft's Full Sythetic vs Blend. I'm currently in the middle of moving (ie all my tools are in storage) and I had my oil changed at a local...

    Motorcraft Full Synthetic vs Blend???

    Thanks for the reply's. I understand that obviously I can use other brands, I've used Mobil 1 and Pennzoil for years. Right now I'm just asking about Full Synthetic vs Blend? Motorcraft, because that is most likely what I will go with as from what I'm reading Ford engineers have put in A LOT...

    Motorcraft Full Synthetic vs Blend???

For a daily driver that I'd like to last a very long time, should I go with Motorcrafts Full Synthetic or...

    Best oil for 2015 F-150 5.0

    I just picked up a 2015 F-150 SuperCrew 5.0 which has 30k miles on it. Should I stick with Motorcraft oil/filter? If so, blend or full synthetic? What about Seafoam and new plugs before I do this first change?

    ATF+4 Castrol vs. Valvoline vs. Redline vs. RP?

    Thanks for the quick replies. I do understand that Chrysler keeps a tight spec. on ATF+4 licensing. But, who's policing the quality of the mixture and such? Who's making these store brands??? So, Redline C+ and RP MAX ATF DEFINITELY surpasses ATF+4 specs? Can they be mixed with an ATF+4 fluid...

    Best 75w140 for ELSD Diff's?

    I recently picked up a 2006 Jeep Grand Cherokee HEMI with 90k miles which has ELSD diff's which call for 75w140 fluid. When I first picked up the truck I was getting a bad shudder in the front end which was temp dependent and would go away once the driveline got up to temp. I narrowed the...

    ATF+4 Castrol vs. Valvoline vs. Redline vs. RP?

    I recently picked up a 2006 Jeep Grand Cherokee HEMI with 90k miles which has the 545RFE transmission. I picked up both of the Mopar filters and a Fel-Pro trans pan gasket and now I'm trying to figure out which ATF+4 to go with. The truck is my daily-driver and this week I'll be installing a 4"...
