Bullitt Oil Change + Filter - What are the best?

[derklink]

Hi,
Was wondering what oil & oil filter other Bullitt owners use. Coming up on my first oil change. The Bullitt is my second car and doesn't get too much use, just weekends and joy rides, so it sits around quite a bit.

Think I'll go with 5W-20 fully synthetic but not sure what brand would be best. I used Royal Purple on my 2016 GT and it worked well. Still have 4 quarts of that laying around, but open to using different brand.

Also read that some people use a "bigger", Ford Racing oil filter. Not sure what the benefit of that would be.

Thanks in advance for tips & opinions!

I recommend 5W30 full synthetic. Don’t get to hung up on the brand, there are lots of good oil brands available. I use the standard Ford filter with Mobil 1 for my Bullitt.

Thank you! Yeah, it's weird how Ford now recommends 5W30 for the Coyote for the 2021 model year, though it's the same motor.

I run 0w-40 because it is a 100% syn and the 40 weight protects better at high temps.

5w-30 motorcraft with motorcraft filter. No real reason to spend more on a fancy brand if you're doing regular changes like you should.

I use the Ford filter and LIqui Moly

Full synthetic or synthetic blend?

Blend. Its what comes in the car and I've never seen any actual evidence that moving to Full-syn really helps. Will my engine maybe "only" last 470K instead of 510K? Maybe. But tracing that to oils near impossible.

True true... but I've also seen "blend" be a cryptic word and can contain as little as 25% full synthetic vs much higher. Your point is correct though, Ford's oil life monitor can show 16,000 kms and the engine doesn't know if you have conventional or a blend in it, and the owner's manual says you can use conventional. So...
