Oil type question!

[MikeS1942]

Vegan, Gluten free, AmsOil only for my Maverick. With 200,000 mile intervals.

Preferably used, it seems to cling better to the kernels.

Can use blended or full synthetic. Any brand that meets the newest Ford oil spec WSS-M2C971-A1. For Ecoboost 2.0 the manual suggests 5W-30.

Suggestion - Best to do oil analysis before doing any oil change, to determine how current lube oil doing. I’ve had couple oil analysis done on Motorcraft blend, on Motorcraft full synthetic, and analysis reports indicates lower than specified visicosity. And shearing. After some research, I’ve switched to Quaker State 5W-30, put some mileage on it and finding low viscosity, somewhat better than MC oil, but still some shearing.

There are some out there who think that synthetic oil will blow up their ride for some weird reason. It's better oil, period. Some ancient GM engines that depended on oil sludge to prevent leaks would drip a bit when the better oil cleaned off the sludge, but that's about it. Stop using crappy dyno oil to lubricate turbos and just switch.

The question is can I use 5w30 full synthetic in the Maverick?

Yes you should always use full synthetic.

Why ?

Full synthetic is engineered by us. All the molecules are the same size and very small.
They fit together perfectly and tight and that means alot more oil between bearing surfaces.
Oil’s primary job is heat transfer, more oil more transfer.
Roach/Dino oil molecules are all different sizes creating useless space, less oil between bearing surfaces.

Most synthetic blend oils are only 10% synthetic.
They made this oil to get the old know it all geezers to use it because they still think roach oil is needed for made up reasons.

Turbo, run full syn and change it no later than 7,500 miles
A 5,000 mile interval is the best for bathing the turbo bearings that spin way north of 20,000 rpm’s in fresh oil.
