Fords are easy on oil.... Mine are anyway.
10k oci's often seem wasteful
Yes, a lot of hand ringing, but I was doing 10K back in the 70's with engines(Chevy and Dodge) that had carburetors. Also in the 80's I had two Fords(Escort Wagon and Tempo) with the 2.0 Diesels and used reg M1 10-30 for 300K. 10K OCIs are my normal.

I've run cheap conventional out to 9,000 miles many times. I wouldn't be surprised if Castrol Edge can make to 10,000.
10K sounds like a good starting point.
I use the Magnatec full synthetic for a six to seven thousand mile OCI. The Edge should go at least ten or it's not worth the extra coin.
If it's the A3/B4 we get here, I give it 15,000km, and customers come back at 20,000 or 30,000km...and it still looks pretty good.
07-09 Camry’s with the 2AZ were affected by oil consumption issues due to a ring issue. Toyota has a warranty extension to 10/150k under campaign ZE7. This engine design is vulnerable to oil consumption issues so long service intervals (which increases the likelihood of deposits) are not a good idea. And in the event that you need to seek coverage for oil consumpotion, extended oil change intervals are not in your favor.

I would use the OEM specified grade (5w20 or 0w20) at the recommended 5k intervals.
Ok and would you synthetic, blend or dino?
Thanks for all the info sir
Thanks for all the info sir
Synthetic, man. It cost the same as dino and it makes your engine sound like a gnat walking on velvet.

car51, I have to agree with TLR here. Even at the least, ST full synthetic is cheaper than any name brand conventional. And, everyone and everything will be happy; you, your engine, and the talented gnat.

Blue: M1 is $22~ plus with the rebate makes it very attractive

I would use a major brand synthetic that is Dexos 1 Gen 2 approved, which would mean a 0w20.

Castrol Edge 5W-30 is Dexos 1, Gen 2 per their website. So is Mobil 1 and Valvoline 5W-30.
I should have clarified. I meant a Dexos1 Gen2 oil within the recommended grades, which are 5w20 and 0w20.
