While on warranty I'd use Motorcraft oil & filter. Then I'd switch to a Syn like Mobil-1.
MC 5w-20 and filter

8qt sump? Is this truck worked? If not, no need for a fake synthetic that meets same ILSAC spec - unless you want to go off the grid with an A3/B4 LL German or French true synthetic.

I am sorry I am not up to date on those foreign oils. Could you be more specific on brands?
It does have an 8 at sump. And it will be worked somewhat off and on towing.

PYB 5w20 and a Motorcraft filter.
There's a lot of timing chain in that engine, I would make sure to always use an oil with generous amounts of detergents.

As long as it meets WSS-M2C945-A you should be good to go. Stick with the Motorcraft filter, none of the others that cross-reference to a FL500S have a thread end bypass.

+1 - Whatever your favorite oil is that meets the OEM spec and the required OEM filter.

That is what worries me about technology. I think an I4 SOHC is ok, but four cams IS a good bit of chain. That is where I would put my money-on the chain.

Scot: My opinion is change the FF close to the 1K mile mark. You can pour in synthetic at any time. Many new engines come with a so called synthetic all ready in the oil pan from the factory.
Any name brand synthetic will serve your Coyote well. I would keep using a Motorcraft oil filter.

I have that engine in a mustang.Using Motorcraft semi synthetic 5w-20 and Motorcraft filter.Seems to like it.
I also have this engine in a 2014 Mustang GT and I run Motorcraft 5W-20 and the Motorcraft FL500s filter. I also didn't change the FF until 4,600 miles.
I don't think it will matter which oil you use. Use what you like and have had good luck with.

2013 Mustang GT here as well with the same 5.0 and mine runs great on the Motorcraft 5w20 simi synthetic with FL 500 filter. I was going to run Mobil 1 or Amsoil but I just don't see any reason to do so. The Motorcraft oil runs fine and when I look down the oil fill with a flashlight it is extremely clean in there. Also the Motorcraft oil is reasonable.
Come on Arco.....QS Defy 10W-30 or 10W-40.
I'd probably start off with QSGB 5W-30 with the Motorcraft filter, 5K OCI's.

Thanks for the replys, but has anyone actually had their oil analyzed using the 302 coyote?
The "seems to work" replys does not help ?

I just changed the oil in my 2014 Mustang GT and it had 6,660 miles on this oil change and looking down into the oil fill hole, it is spotless with no varnish that I can see. I'm going to continue to run Motorcraft in this car unless I find out otherwise that it is not up to the task.

motorcraft oil is excellent. that Coyote will run forever using the motorcraft oil. Any oil meeting the factory spec will work well. You really cannot go wrong with any name brand oil in the right grade. Everyone has their own favorite oil, but they all perform well.
