I have a 2011 v6. I started out using Motorcraft synthetic blend for my first 3,000 miles. I then changed to Motorcraft full synthetic, getting from the dealer. Cost a lot. I changed to Mobil 1 (after using a couple of cases of the Motorcraft) from Walmart because the Motorcraft full synthetic was costing too much. I could not believe how much quieter my engine became with the Mobil 1 compared to the full synthetic Motorcraft. This is the first time i've ever used Mobil 1 motor oil. All for more than half the price of the Motorcraft oil. I'm going to stick with the Mobil 1 oil with a Motorcraft filter. Thought i would let you know what i thought about it, talk to you later.
