Oil suggestions for a 2006 F-150 FX4

[dakevmann]

I just bought this truck about two weeks ago so I'm still a good little ways from my first oil change but had some questions. Ford is the first vehicle I have owned that suggest 5W-20 weight oil. I usually run synthtic oil in my cars but find it hard to find any 5W-20 Mobil 1. Since I cant find the brand I want what do you guys suggest? Is the Motorcraft brand any good never used before? Or should I go with another brand of 5W-20. Thanks

Motorcraft 5w20 is all your truck will ever need. It is a top-notch semi-synthetic oil.

If you want to go full synthetic, & you can't find Mobil 1, give Castrol Syntec 5w20 a try.

Stay with the Motorcraft 5W-20. Stay away from the oil that starts with a letter between 'L' and 'N'.

I agree with using MoCraft. In the past 4 years I've owned 3 different Ford vehicles, ran MC in all of them, no problems. The 2 just seem to fit well together...
