A friend has a 2000 Taurus with the Duratech and now has 308,000 miles using the Mobil 1 5w30. It's been a great engine and transmission for him.

The engine will be protected and last just as long with Pennzoil conventional as it would be with PP or Mobil 1.
The oil companies will not be as well protected though....
Follow the OLM since you have one. 3k OCIs are really a waste of resources in my book...
Take care, Bill
Oh, I understand. There is actually a service bulletin on the 5.3 motors for leaking oil pan gaskets and the oil cooler lines. I'm not worried about it at all. I'll be getting it fixed Monday. The leak is super small.
Ended up being a blown rear main seal and rear cover gasket leak. $553 to fix.

I'm really surprised, I thought those transmissions were very trouble prone? Is the transmission with the Duratec different than the one with the Vulcan?

It is a different transmission. Although Ford did make changes in 1998 with the Vulcan transmission that made a big differance in durability.
