I'm just curious as to what fluids come in the engine when you buy it. Is it walmart oil or mobil 1? Those kinds of things. Any one know?

why should Ford use Walmart-Oil ? And : does Walmart have 5w20 engine-oil for the V8 ?
 






I would assume it's Motorcraft :) I think I would switch over to the 5-w30. Ford uses the 5-w20 to boost their fleet mileage. Especially if you do lots of highway, or higher speed driving.
 






I thought about switching over to 5w30 or 0w30 when oilchange is required, but I´m in doubt about waranty. Or does anybody know if there are other specs from Ford for Europe ?
 






If I remember correctly the owner's manual gives a list of approved fluids.
