Your vehicle’s owner’s manual will have the recommended oil type and viscosity.

I’ve always believed synthetic oil is better than semi-synthetic, if it meets the manufacturer’s specification (especially for cold-weather start-up and operation).

Full Synthetic.

All Expeditions come from the factory with the Motorcraft Blend. If you are changing regularly(less than 7K) full syn is overkill. The Motorcraft Blend is rated pretty well by 3rd party testers. I get my oil changes from my Dealer for free. Cost extra to do full synthetic. If you are going longer intervals or towing everyday, sure Synthetic makes sense. Otherwise stick to the Blend.

Penzoil Ultra 5w30 with Motocraft FL500S oil filter every 5k miles. I've been running it since new and I have over 50k miles now.

Have used Castrol Magnatec with success in ecoboosts. Tends to have very good test results over on BITOG.

All oil brands have flashy marketing, but all are similar in the end. The Oil Specification (the odd letters and numbers) is what you are looking for, not the brand. Also, regular oil performs the same as synthetic as synthetic is modeled after regular oil. The benefit of synthetic is it lasts much longer. Ford recommends semi-synth probably because its lasts throughout the recommended oil change period and is slightly cheaper.

The diff between Full synthetic and regular oil is that Full synthetic protects your engine better and can also last longer. I would still change out full synthetic oils at no more than 4k miles for ultra engine protection and makes the engine last even longer. I dont use full syn just so that I can wait longer for oil changes. I would never go over 4000 miles without an oil change in these ecoboost engines no matter what oil is in it.
