I always had my oil changed at my Ford dealer. I then switched to Mobil1 full synthetic. After 1500kms yes 1500 my truck started to leak a large amount of oil from the pan area. I have now switched back to Ford 5W-20.

Because of all the problems with the Cam Phasers and oil related issues, Ford does my oil changes on my 5.4L.

Dino oil in my F-350 and my wife's Jeep. Thinking about an oil bypass and some synthetic in the truck.
