I may be wrong, but Mercon V by definition is full synthetic.

Nothing could be further from the truth! Redline , and Amsoil are the best Synthetic oils you can buy , ford is not in the oil business, that stuff is rebranded generic cheap stuff.

No, some are conventional, some are blends and some are full synthetic.

Motorcraft Mercon V for example is a semi-blend but they do make a full synthetic though.

I've been using Castrol Transmax Mercon V which is a syn-blend for the past 160k miles, still going strong at 220k miles.

Go with a brand name (Motorcraft, Castrol, Valvoline) syn-blend and save yourself some money cause you'll need 12-15 quarts of it. If you have high miles you may not want to go with a full synthetic.

So my motor made it 256K miles on cheap crap......I say it's overkill!!:shake:

Amzoil gave me horrible problems in a big block boat I had and Mobil I resolved the issues!!:eek:

BTW.....we determined my motor disaster was a fuel pump failure (lean...BOOM)......should have changed it out years ago then I'd go for 300K!!:beer:

I'm not saying these product aren't better by some analytical measures but in real world performance...probably not??:cool:

Go here to educate yourself about motor oil.
