Which brand of synthetic oil 5w20 [I live in Cal.], with a excellent volatility, would be best in my 2018 F-150 5.0L engine. It has GDI and PFI fuel delivery and plasma wire arc transfer cylinder liner for 2018. I do not haul loads or pull loads, mostly a grocery getter. I use 93 octane. Thanks for any help.

Me? I would use a Pennzoil Synthetic.
Wow, I was going to say 'anything that meets the specs in the manual' until you said that!
So in this special case... anything that meets the specs in the manual.
Go to your local WM and see if they have ALL Havoline full synthetic oil on clearance.
Havoline On Clearance At Wal-Mart
I had to go grocery shopping at WM this morning. Before I do my shopping I always go look at the oil and filter section. They had all Havoline full synthetic 6 qt. boxes on clearance for $14.60. I bought (2) 6 qt. boxes of 5W30. There were only (3) 5W30 boxes left, but I only wanted to buy (2)...

it's just a really thin layer of iron, a modern approach to the plasma-sprayed "ferral" cylinders in some old porsches. cast iron sleeves are terrible for cooling and have poor durability, manufacturers have been trying to get rid of them for half a century. PTWA has a good chance of displacing outdated al-si and the famously expensive nikasilWow, I was going to say 'anything that meets the specs in the manual' until you said that!

First off, I would not use any 5W20 in a 5.0 F-150. I would pick a 5W30.
For what it’s worth: https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2019/MC-10169811-0001.pdf
It doesn't carry Ford specs but SuperTech is API SP, ILSAC GF-6 AND dexos d1G2.
I would agree 100% but some people freak out at the thought.
The 2021 Ford F-150 with the 5.0, the recommended oil is 5W30. I wonder why that is?

SuperTech 5W-30 synthetic and a SuperTech filter changed following the OLM. Meets all the specs you need. Less than $20 every 10k.
Additionally, no need to run 93 octane in that truck. No benefit at all. Use regular and sleep well with extra money in your pocket.

Isn't an Alusil block much more expensive than a Nikasil coated bore?
no it runs about half the cost, at least on a large scale. porsche only uses it on their turbo engines whereas everything else is some form of al-si
Probably something to do with the fact that they have cylinder deactivation now?
