Synthetic Oil from Ford in a 2005 SCrew?!?

I stopped at a Ford dealership today to get my weekly F-150 fix since I still have a few weeks to wait for my ’05 KR. A salesman told me the 5.4 comes from Ford with synthetic oil. I was having a hard time buying that one but he said it was true.

Can anyone confirm or deny this?

please! the salemen only knows enough to make it snow for a sale.
I never met one that knew more about the vehicle than I did when I was looking because I knew what I was looking for before going in.
There are so many model besides used, that they don't bother to know unless you ask them to look it up or it's obvious from sales lit.

I think Gearhead99 is right. All the Motorcraft 5w20 oil I've seen is a synthetic blend.

I just picked up my '05 Screw. The manual calls for Motorcraft Synthetic as prefered and the blend is listed below it for an alternative.

Motorcraft does have a full synthetic but I haven’t heard anything about it coming stock in the 05’s. I haven’t even seen it for sale anywhere yet.


SAE 5W-30 Full Synthetic Motor Oil

New Motorcraft® Full Synthetic SAE 5W-30 Motor Oil is designed, engineered and recommended by Ford Motor Company. It meets or exceeds engine oil recommendations by Ford Motor Company and many other equipment manufacturers that recommend oils of this viscosity grade and quality. It is also certified by the American Petroleum Institute (API), and bears their "Certification Trademark." Other benefits:
- Improved cold-temperature performance
- Lower volatility for reduced oil consumption
- Reduced engine wear
- Increased protection in severe operating conditions
- Formulated for fuel efficiency

I agree, that is sweet! Also, the 05's call for 5w20, so I doubt they come with Motorcraft synthetic 5w30.

Holy cow...

Did you buy it new like that?!?! Looks like the stealership must have dumped some bucks into that thing before they let it roll on to the lot...
