i was only asking, and im not sure if anybody else has experienced this, because iv been losing about a half qt of oil every oil change (i change about every 4500-5000), can this be due to the fact that i use only mobile one full synthetic?

I suppose you could have a small leak that is not notciable. The synthetic would flow better through the opening. If you're consuming it then dino may not make much difference.

Your truck calls for 5w20, I'd recommend that you look at Motorcraft brand if you want to top up the engine.
After your first oil change if you decide on syntehtic Mobil 1 makes a 0w20 that would work well in your truck. Otherwise the Motorcraft 5w20 is a blend of Group II and III basestocks that will give you great cold weather protection.

Ford Canada "will not warranty the motor unless 5W20 oil is used"
With that being said the only 5W20 I can find in my area is QS non synthetic or the Ford MC. Hopefully in the new year there should be more options I'm told
