This weekend it is time again to change the oil in my truck!! In the past I have took it somewhere to get it changed. This time Im going to do it myself. What brand oil and what weigh do yall recommend and what kind of filter. Truck is 2006 5.4 Search but couldnt really find anything!! Thanks

 

5w20 Motorcraft or equiv... I personally like Mobile1 Full SuperSyn everyother oil change. As for filter... Motorcraft or equiv, or I like K&N Performance Gold oil filters.

I tend to spend the extra $$ only because the engine is what makes the truck.

 

This topic was JUST covered about a week ago, suprised it didn't come up in a search. Regardless, I like to use Mobil 1 Full Synthetic 5w20 with a Motorcraft filter. I'd suggest using a Motorcraft filter or Wix, I had a problem with my 2004 F-150 and using a fram filter. I got a lot of noise at start up due to the lack of a good anti-drainback valve.

 

You need to work on your search skills, bud

There's also much, much more on this near-religious topic in the Engines forum. You can practice there ... LOL!

Good luck.

 

this may be a dumb question, but where can you buy motorcraft filters and oil other than the dealer?

 

Wally-Mart. Perhaps also try Advnced, AutoZone, or whatever franchise is prevalent in your area?

 

Thanks. Do you have to do anything special to go to full synthetic?
