Go to Wal mart and buy the Motorcraft oil 5-20 synthetic blend 5qt bottle = $9.52 Motorcraft oil filter = $3.28 (my 98 Cobra 4.6l & 06 F150 5.4l use filter #820S they should be the same).

Also what kind of stuff is in there from the factory?
The thing that shocked me was that the car was not full at 6 quarts. Looks like it needs 6 1/2...I put in mobil 1. Probably overkill, but better safe than sorry in my book. I used the mobil 1 oil filter as well.
What comes from the factory is synthetic blend. 5w/20. That weight is hard to come by where I live.
