Yes ive searched. Been in the diesel game for a couple years and boy have things changed with gas oil. I just bought a 2020 f150 with 3.5 ecoboost. What do yall suggest for oil in 5w30? Thank you all in advance.

Why, this is a dual injected motor, there should be some fuel washing the valves, any standard fare API SP/Dexos oil should be more than sufficient, no need to go out of the way to buy expensive Euro mid-SAPS oil.I’d go with M1 ESP with a quality filter, change every 5k miles. To add, I’d pump ethanol free gas if available.
Because...timing chain. Not all about keeping the valves clean. It's about keeping the soot out of the oil and off the timing chain.Why, this is a dual injected motor, there should be some fuel washing the valves, any standard fare API SP/Dexos oil should be more than sufficient, no need to go out of the way to buy expensive Euro mid-SAPS oil.
Okay but isn't the soot primarily created from poorly atomized fuel getting superheated in an anaerobic environment not the lubricating oil so whether soot exists or not is agnostic to the oil choice.Because...timing chain.

The best thing for a timing chain is higher viscosity and frequent drain intervals.Because...timing chain. Not all about keeping the valves clean. It's about keeping the soot out of the oil and off the timing chain.

I probably should have put in multiple quotes. It was a response to the response.Why, this is a dual injected motor, there should be some fuel washing the valves, any standard fare API SP/Dexos oil should be more than sufficient, no need to go out of the way to buy expensive Euro mid-SAPS oil.
M1 ESP 5W-30 isn't the correct grade though. There's a lot more to correct "grade" than just the SAE viscosity, Mobil 1 ESP has none of the specifications asked for by for it's not ILSAC and not SN+ or later.So after you heard repeatedly there's no such thing as a best oil it might be interesting to hear
that an oil meeting the required approval and having low Noack isn't the worst you can run in a
direct-injection turbo, regardless whether it has single DI or dual injection. That's probably the
point of M1 ESP 5W-30.

Aren't you in GDI mode 80+% of the time, = soot with a dual injected motor?Okay but isn't the soot primarily created from poorly atomized fuel getting superheated in an anaerobic environment not the lubricating oil so whether soot exists or not is agnostic to the oil choice.
