If it were me I would put in any quality synthetic 5w30, such as Mobil 1, Redline, Royal Purple, etc.

Non-synthetic 5w20 or 5w30 would be fine too. Just change it more frequently.

When I spoke to Steve @ SVT, he suggested you wait until 8K mi before going fully synthetic, and also suggested you use the Motorcraft 820s filter.

Amsoil and Mobil One seen to be the synthetics of choice around here.

Just changed mine for the second time. Both changes have been done with Mobil 1 5w30 and the motorcraft filter. Just under 6qts. each time(approx. 5 3/4 qts).
