Oh, forgot to mention, full syn <i>might</i> leak a little more
than dino or semi-syn, so you might want to check it occasionally
and carry a quart of whatever the oil change place put in.<br>

Ford almost always uses their 5W-20 syn blend:<br>

My '08 Mustang GT used it and my '19 GT do to, inc. free
dealership oil changes 'for life.' For a long trek, I'd use the
syn.<br>

<pre class="moz-quote-pre" wrap="">My 2015 Explorer and me are in Phoenix, AZ* for a another month. I wanted to get an oil change prior to returning to NJ.
Here is the problem. Ford states that it uses a 'synthetic blend' oil. I don't know what the dealer used last, as all my records are still in NJ and it was under a free dealership oil change when I did the last one. (Normally I do my own.)
The place I can get the oil changed at does either full synthetic or full conventional oil.
Since I'll be putting another 500 miles on the truck out here, before I trek another 3000 miles across the country, what oil should I use? I don't know if it even makes a difference. But there is extreme heat out here (but it's cooling off now.)
I'm having the shop do this Sunday so I need to make a decision soon.
*BTW, any Phoenix shop-talkers want to get together for a beer/coffee this weekend? I'm buying!
Thanks.
