Engine oil OEM Subaru or Motorcraft

I use 5W-30 Motorcraft

Changed ours at 3k and will change again at 6k. After that it’s every 5k. Use Subaru oil and filters.

I'm using motorcrack 15 40 in my 3.0 Taurus. It's been great for years

I have done all my oil changes myself since I bought my 2019 Subaru outback 2.5l new using 5w-30 and have never had issues! Just hit 120k ????

Getting 30mpgs in my ‘14 and been running 5w30 for years, smoother and quieter

No issues with 5w-30. Switched my 21 Crosstrek to it due to the summer months coming. Little dip in mpg but the engine runs smoother.

Either way I have the impression that the engine has a smoother sound and feel now, can this be possibile or it's just a placebo ?

Full synthetic Motorcraft for my Shelby, Roush, SHO, and Focus 1.0 ecoboost.

Ford performance oil filter for the Shelby. Motorcraft for the others.

Why? I had a Ford tech tell me any and all problems they'd ever seen with a Shelby engine involved one that used non-Motorcraft brand in engine or filter.

id put 17 at the okay point but any lower is not good - well my subaru would do about 18-17psi at idle so im sure alls fine

I avoid the 5 minute drive-thru places. One of them wanted over $100 for full synthetic on my Subaru Forester. Not worth the 5 minutes.
