His recommendation is pay the extra $$ for Full Synthetic. In independent testing Mobil One and Amsoil tested best overall. Another bit of info. Motor craft branded product does NOT mean it was Original Equipment on Ford. That is Fords private label. The saying goes. Buyer beware. If it’s inexpensive there is a reason.

Fully agree with your statement. I always wonder if someone out there bought a $100k "non-rv or touring sedan, etc." would they opt for the cheapest oil change even though we are talking about a minimal difference in cost when looking at the bigger picture. Walmart sells five quart jugs of Mobil 1 for around $27 and a good K&N filter on Amazon costs around $9. Worth the extra money even if you give the oil and filter to your non-Jiffy Lube mechanic for the oil change.
