which synthetic oil in 2018 F-150 5.0L engine

That is the new 5.0 with the cylinder deactivation. My guess is the new spec has something to do with that. I honestly doubt any of the previous 5.0 would tell the difference between 5w20 and 5w30.
I have noticed no difference between 5W20, 5W30 or 10W30. I am currently running M1 HM 5W20 year round and despite perceived noise observations from some members over the years with Mobil 1, my 5.0L runs smooth and quiet. I bought 8, 12 qt boxes at $1/qt and is likely the best oil deal I've ever found during my tenure at BITOG. It's even better than the Delo 400 SAE30 $1/gal sale from '05/'06.
Stellar report. What did you have on for an air filter and oil filter at time of sample?I used Schaeffer 9000 5w-30 in my 5.0. Of course it was prior to the DI version. YMMV
(and yes for the boo hoo people, a single report doesn't mean anything statistically)
the 2021 page you posted is not the same truck aS the OP
Have a nice day......
Air filter was Wix, and oil filter was an Amsoil unit.
FWIW that truck was sold with 0w-40 in it, ran super smoothly with no loss of mpg or power that I could detect.
So!
They have the same winter rating.

So what..
Yeah I don't get why people do that either...if anything it should be 5w- summer and 0w- winter. Changing the grade following the winter rating is a head scratcher.
