I can get 5 quarts of Pennzoil Platinum Full Synthetic at Walmart for $24 and a Fram Ultra Synthetic Oil filter for $11 ($12 for Mobil1 Extended Performance). So, $35 for a change plus Walmart's Tire and Lube will take the used oil (so will all part stores by me).
I prefer synthetic. Wix filter
I do it myself in the driveway for half of what the dealership quoted. Takes about 30 minutes, it's really easy on my powerstroke as the drain plug and filter are right next to each other.
Switch to a high quality oil filter to allow oil to flow quicker at startup. The rattle, if timing chain related, is likely one of the hydraulic tensioners not filling with oil as quickly as it should so you hear the chain rattle till it tightens. A higher quality filter will help. Wix would be my recommendation.
The extended performance of Mobile 1 or Castrol and I use the extended mobile filter.
Then replace at 10k mi.
On my '21 XLE I use WIX 51394 oil filter which holds more oil and is slightly longer than OEM. I use Mobil 1 Extended Performance 0W-20.
DYI. Kirkland synthetic for $18 per 5 quart jug and $12 for a Mobil 1 filter.
Are you opposed to doing it yourself ? Reason I ask is because imo it’s the way to go. You can save $25+ and buy decent oil/filter. I’m at $47 with Mobil 1 oil and filter from Walmart.
My buddy changed oil, and used a Mobil1 filter in his moms Hyundai. It knocked right away. Changed to Hyundai filter and knock quit.
Mobile 1 oil filter collapse? This is the second time that this has happened. First time was with a Mann oil filter. I would have though that Mobile 1 would have done better them this. This is the Mobile 1 filter with just 4,500 miles
