Bought a 2005 Ford Escape with 55K one owner miles on it this weekend. Think the owner used MotorCraft 5w20 oil as per the book. Vehicle has no leaks, or oil consumption problems. Would this be a good candidate for changing to synthetic oil? If so what brands are good. not interested in Amsoil, as there is no sales outlet here. What have you people have good service from. I have always run diesel oil in all my engines both gas and diesel for the detergent factor and now it may be necessary for the fact that they are removing some of the anti-wear additives from the gasoline oils. Do I need to stay with the book reccomended viscosity here in the state of Georgia where we seldom have many days below 20 degrees except for a day or so at the time? Can I run a diesel grade oil in this engine if I could find a synthetic diesel blend to have the extra detergent and wear packages or is this too much of a good thing?? Aren"t some of the synthetic blends part mineral and part synthetic stock? Is it wise to use the extended change intervals claimed by some synthetic oils? Never dealt with synthetic motor oil before. My 50+ years of experience have all been with mineral base oils. Thanks for your help and comments. Gene Davis

In 1954 they began offering the WD45 with the new "Snap-Coupler&quo
