Engine oil ELF or OEM FORD
5k Ford motorcraft synthetic oil and filter. Bought my truck at 61,000 and it has 75,000 on it now. Love that 3.5 eco boost. Had a 5.7 hemi Ram prior and the 3.5 eco boost outperforms on every level.

Heb een ford fiesta, ik koop altijd ford formula F 5w30 geloof ik. Wat in principe gewoon castrol is.
My wife's truck recommends 5w-20. Burns it like a mfer though. I run 10w-40 in it and have for several years. Still going strong. 01 f150. Do with that what you will.
I've been putting 10w-40 ELF 70 STI regular oil in my 1.6 petrol from '98 for 3 years now with no issues.
As the owner of a 1995 Ford F-250 Powerstroke, the saying goes, "if it leaks oil, it has oil". -Ford 3:16
The 2.3 liter engine on a ford ranger takes 6.2 quarts as opposed to my corolla that took less than a gallon for the 1.8 liter engine.
My Ford Freestyle with a 3.0L takes 6 quarts, while my Pontiac Grand Prix with a supercharged 3.8L takes 4.3 quarts. Go figure. I was shocked when I saw how much oil the Ford takes.
my 2011 ford fusion oil cap has 5w-20 but when i put that oil, engine noise become loud. Only 10w-30 noise is lower and engine smooth.
Kurzstrecke verhindert, dass das Öl nicht auf Temperatur kommt, dadurch bleiben Rückstände von Wasser etc, was du der Schlotze führt.
I have a 19 xlt. Love it except for the oil issue.
