If you're ever in a situation where you think you might need different-than-stock oil, check with the dealer's service staff first. If others have been in your position, chances are they'll know.

With that said, I use standard 5W-20... as recommended by Ford :)

ok... :huh: little testie on the subject, and so far your the only one running it.

And if you truly believe that you shouldn't put anything into your car that is the stock recommendation.... you might wanna hold up on the aftermarket parts for the new ride...

SYNPOWERÂÂ
FOR YOUR FOCUS
   
SynPower is an advanced, fully synthetic motor oil formulated for extreme protection and superior performance. It provides high-temperature protection under severe driving conditions and superior cold-temperature protection at start-ups. Because your FOCUS is a performance vehicle, or you drive your vehicle in average monthly temperatures that go above 90°F or below 20°F, or you have a diesel engine that requires special oil per manufacturer specifications, we recommend that you use SynPower.

by the way it comes in 5w30

I said your poll was whacked because you didn't have the stock 5W20 oil as a choice. As for aftermarket, I'll do whatever my parts supplier recommends over and above Ford at that point. Plus, when your mods are intake/exhaust/reflash, that's not enough reason to change oils in my book.

Also, if you believe that Valvoline form-generated crap because it talks all kinds of flowery praise about the FOCUS... I have plenty of swampland for sale for you, dirt cheap, in a nice warm state in the U.S. It's perfect for HOUSES.
