Penzoil Ultra made for natural gas and a Mann oil filter
What kind of oil should I use?
I know that the owners manual says use 5W20 but I'm not sure what to use. The only thing I do know is that I'm goin to use Mobil 1 synthetic. Should I use the recommened 5W20 or should I use a 5W30 or a 10W30?

I just use motorcraft oil and oil filter.
Definitely nothing wrong with this approach. Motorcraft Semi-synth 5w20 oil is some great stuff, and only about $18 for a 5-gal jug at WalMart.I just use motorcraft oil and oil filter.
Their oil filters are pretty much the best bang for your buck you can get.
In all honesty though, pretty much any semi-synth blend will work great. I actually tend to mix my own partial-synth mixture out of whatever is in my oil stash, but for most people, who don't keep an oil stash, it's not practical. Quaker State and Pennzoil both make a seriously good semi-synth for around the same price as Motorcraft.
Either way, I say stick with a Motorcraft filter, or if you usually run long oil change intervals (over the 7500 miles that Ford recommends), a Fram Ultra, which is actually rated for 15,000 miles.
Here's an oil report of my 2011 Milan with 2.5 if anyone's curious (7400 miles). Mobile 1 5w20 w/Purolator Synthetic filter.
