Why not use the factory motorcraft oil 5w-20. It is a synthetic blend and is less than $2.00 a quart. You can buy it at auto-zone too. That motor (2003 4.6) is designed to run with 5w-20 for best performance. If yours is a 2000 gt run the weight that the book calls for. With some of these people having ticking noises from the motor I am only running the factory motorcraft 5w-20.

Because it is a proven fact that fully synthetic oil is better in every way

Amsoil 5w-20 is what I use

no advantage to run synthetic if you change oil every 3000 miles.

0-W20 oil is the same thing at 5W-20 oil. If you look at the bottle for 0W-20 it says specifically designed for Ford vehicles using 5W-20 motor oil I use it since its a full synthetic, and I get to do it myself . Not to mention it saves me an hour and a half drive to the dealer I bought the car from.
