Which oil do you guys use?

[Whitest Russian]

Sounds like ford switched to 5w30 then. I have a 2018 GT and my oilcap says 5w20 and the manual says to switch to 5w30 before a track day.

I went with 2 bottles of this:
Castrol 1597B1 Edge Extended Performance 5W-30 Advanced Full Synthetic Motor Oil

Not time for an oil change yet when it is due 0w40 full synthetic with Napa platinum filter.
This combo has never let me down

Had the first oil change done on mine yesterday. Pennzoil Ultra 5W20 and a Wix XP filter

Some years specified 5w20 in the owner's manual. For 2021, Ford changed the specification to 5w30 with 0w30 as an alternative if you lived in a colder climate. I would forgo the 5w30 recommendation and just go with a 0w30. There are no downsides besides price by going with 0w30 over 5w30.

Yep. Mysteries of Ford. To be fair 5w30 was always allowed and recommended for track use in the manual.

When the Coyote motor was first introduced, aka GEN 1, the Track Pack Coyote's specified 5W-50 because they were meant for track use. A lot of people who ran it found out it was expensive and that 5W-50 shears to a 30WT after only several hundred miles. I think these Mustangs should have always been a 30WT, whether you want to use 0W-30 or 5W-30.
