Doing the first oil change on my truck this weekend. 11,500 miles. Bought it when it had 8,400 miles. Its an 05 4.6L. What type oil do you recommend using? Should I use reg oil, synthetic blend, or a full synthetic? This is my first V8 and am not sure on which is best to use. Also, What filter should I get? Thanks for the help.

personally i would go with motorcraft oil and filter.

 

So would I.....

 

Same here!

 

I recommend a Fumoto Valve.

Say goodbye to stripped threads and messes.

 

Motorcraft filter for sure.
I've used both the Motorcraft (syn blend) oil (first few oil changes) and the Mobil 1 full syn since.

X2. One of the best and easiest mods ever.

 

Same here....Keep it factory.

 

Whats the MC filter part#?? Can I use the one I have left over from my 98 4.6?? I just bought an 05 5.4 also...

 

F1AZ-6731-BD, Motorcraft # FL-820S. Yes, the same filter from your 4.6 works on your 5.4 3V.

 

Motorcraft filter and Mobile 1 full synthetic is what I use. The motorcraft filter is the for sure thing to use. The oil is more personal preference.

 

Mobil 1 oil and K&N oil filter.

 

I use Mobil1 and a Motorcraft filter.

 

Same oil [5W-20] but Mobil 1 filter.
