Synthetic oil.

[Rich1968]

I own a 2019 Ranger 2.3L ecoboost, the original owner bought it new and had always used Motorcraft oil, not sure if synthetic or synthetic blend. Should I stick with Motorcraft and if so full synthetic or blend? Im leaning full synthetic. Thanks

EVERYONE HERE WILL AGREE , Motorcraft is the proper oil for the Ranger and no other brand need be thought of or even mentioned and nuff said and thread closed !!!
Although I doubt anyone has an opinion on this ?... oil I mean...

Use synthetic. Brand matter less. I would use something reputable. Costco brand tests with good quality, if you have a Costco. Otherwise, any major brand of oil should be fine.
You can watch videos from the motor oil geek on YouTube for tests and information.

I will agree that the motocraft oil is more than enough for the Ranger. For the 2019 that I had I ran the full synthetic motocraft. That all being said I'm more of a motul type of guy And we'll stick with that particular brand.

If you are shopping for best price, it is pretty hard to beat the price of the 5 QT jugs of Mobil 1 synthetic at Walmart.

Rock Auto is $5.39 per quart for Motorcraft 5W30 full synthetic.

I always buy my oil in the 5qt jugs, it works out to be $2-$3 per qt cheaper than getting individual quarts. All of my vehicles take more than 5qts so I will buy two 5qt jugs and the second will be good for the next couple of oil changes.
I also buy all my oil at Walmart. I scan the shelves and buy which ever brand has the lowest price at the time. Mobil 1 is more often than not the lowest cost but all the other brands have been on sale with a lower price too.

I will probably stay with Motorcraft.

Im curious how Motorcraft stands up against Mobil one.

I use Mobil 1 full synthetic. Idk how true it is but I’ve heard that once you start using synthetic, you shouldn’t change back to blend. Apparently it can cause issues?

I would be curious too. If I change my oil myself, I use Mobil 1. If I take my Ranger to the dealer for the Works, they use the Motorcraft synthetic blend. I don't notice any difference. If you look at Amazon, both 5 qt jugs are around the same price (the Motorcraft is 85 cents more). Both have 5 star user ratings. Amazon claims they sell 10x more Mobil 1 jugs than Motorcraft.

When I get the dealer Works, I always request full synthetic and pay the difference.
