Hello! I just bought a 2008 Ford Fusion 4 cly. I am looking for some oil recommendations. I am in grad school and do very little driving. I drive my car on average about twice per week. That's usually to a grocery store or a restaurant that's not too far away. I am interested in synthetic oil because of its long life span. I've read that oil has a shelf life and a milage life. This made me think that synthetic oil may not be the right choice for me if I'm going to be changing it out because of age and not milage. I'd like to maximize the time between changes without compromising the health of my engine. I live in Houston so it's pretty warm down here year round. I’m easy on my car. The manufacturer recommends 5W-20 and to change the oil and filter every 7,500 miles. The Ford part number/ Ford specification in the back of the owner’s guide is XO-5W20-QSP (US) CXO-LSP12 (CANADA)/ WSS-MSC930-A with API certification mark. It doesn’t burn oil. If there is any other info that would better inform your recommendation, please let me know and I will do my best to get it to you.
