Mobil 1 and K&N... And if your the type of person that i am which listen's to the cars engine with diffrent oils you will notice mobil 1 syn runs quieter and smoother.
I dont think i could ever trust a shop to replace my oil. Especially ever since back in 02 my freind took his old F-150 to a nationwide chain and they gave him the car back without oil. Needless to say his car's engine didnt get too far down the street.

Ford suggests 5,000 miles on the blend Motorcraft oil. BMW suggests 10,000 miles on their full synthetic.

Mobile 1 EP (15k oil) Wix Filter. I am testing right now and I just changed my oil at 10k without a mid lube filter change and the lab report came back perfect and easily could have kept going. I have the same set up again and am going to take it to 15 without a filter change and see.

Most notice a lot of valvetrain noise at start up due to the lack of a good anti-drainback filter. I know I did when I used one on my 2004 F-150.

Amsoil is the ONLY way to go for synthetics, you can be guarenteed that their 100% synthetic is really, 100% synthetic. You can justify the price if you want the absolute best, which really isn't that much more expensive.
They have a 0W-20 out now versus their previous XL series 5W-20, which I am unsure if it was really a full synthetic.
Their filters are great too, made to the same specs as the Motorcraft FL820s (which is really made by Purolator I believe), with the addition the Amsoil oil filters have is a synthetic media.

Actually had a Wal-Mart car guy get mad at me a while back. Told him Motorcraft only. He came back and told me all he had was Fram. I told him "then pull my truck back out of the bay, I don't want anything that says Fram on it anywhere near my truck." He was all of a sudden furious that I would let him install a fram. 
I guess that's what he uses.
