5W30 full synthetic. Literally zero reason to run anything different.

Looks like most are 5W-30.

I prefer a higher HTHS. With the EcoBoost being prone to fuel dilution (viscosity falling out), plus a tune that increases cylinder pressures, my engine will stay on 0W-40 or 5W-40. I like the extra "insurance".

None of the tuners recommend doing so, so I’ll stick to what Ford recommended and tuners found no need to change.
