Penzoil ultra platinum with a Motorcraft oil filter.
My feeling is pick any reputable fully synthetic oil and stick to it. Make sure to change more sooner than later.
But my feeling is the filter makes all the difference some of those OE spec aftermarket are not as much OE spec. The Motorcraft filter has specific bypass valves that allow optimal oil pressure when you need it. This is crucial for a healthy 5.0 coyote motor.
It is important to follow the service intervals and use quality stuff. I use motul for fluids and usually buy mann filters.
The Mann filter I use in my 13 Jetta TDI is HU 719/7X. haven't had any problems with them.
The VW OE oil filter is a Mann.
I also use Mann filters pretty exclusively, Wix is the same company.
I pay about $50 for my oil changes. I buy seven quarts of Mobil 1 5w-30 from Walmart and order a Mann filter from FCP Euro.
Synthetic oil has become much more costly in the past few years. I was paying about $45 for 10 quarts of synthetic and a Mann filter in 2019. It's now about $76 for the same.
Bought 2 x 20 litre drum of Havoline® ProDS Fully Synthetic LE SAE 5W-40 when the Caltex name left Australia & Ampol sold off all the left over Caltex oil cheap at Repco. $42 for 20 litres!!!!
I also use MANN W719/30. That filter is designed to go a longer interval and for synthetic oils.
Mann, Mahle sucks.
