I run royal purple oil and trans fluid and motorcraft axle fluid. I like the current fluids and they seem to reduce wear but its all personal preference.

Mobil 1 synth oil for the motor, Royal Purple Syncrhomax in the trans, and Royal Purple with included friction modifier gear oil in the axle.

So far, no complaints, and it shifts better than with the Motorcraft stuff in the trans.

Oh, and I wanna say that the Syncrhomax's been since about 40K, and the RP gear oil in the axle since 75K. Oil since I got her. She's 85K now.

I have no idea... I get my oil changed at my mechanic's shop. It's near my firehouse, I drop it off in the morning and they do the oil change, tire rotation and check and top off anything else.

I run the full 7k and that 's both highway and city but I follow ford's maintenance schedule for everything...i'm sure they know the vehicle better than any of us. Once i add performance parts then i'll probably change it up to every 5k or so
