I used Motorcraft 5W-20 synthetic blend with the Motorcraft FL500s filter.
I've decided I will go with the OLM or one year, whichever happens first.
I only drove the car about 700 miles from the beginning of November until the beginning of March when I changed it. The bad weather this winter kept the car pretty much garaged the entire time.
The car is a blast to drive and will get a lot more use in the coming months.

You can't go wrong using motorcraft in that car.
I'm glad you're liking the car. It really is one of the finest ford has ever rolled off the assembly line.
I love the dohc 5.0 and up until I bought my charger I wouldn't have thought twice about buying one however the mds equipped hemi engines have really opened up my eyes and is making a one easy decision difficult.
Anyways keep on keeping on. Great car.
