+1 for Motul

Used it for over 15 oil changes on my Audi 2.0T.

Towards the end of life (200k) I switched to Castrol because it's cheaper and carried everywhere.

Only Amsoil for me, simply the best oil out there.

You did not include motorcraft

Anyone know if the 3.0 has the same exact requirement(s)? @telenerd maybe?

I guess this thread could be all all encompassing Bronco Oil thread for compatible oil. From what I can tell requires the same oil for Raptor.

Mobil 1 must be new on that list. I'm a solid Mobil 1 fan and was disappointed when I went to change my oil for the first time around this time last year that it did not meet the Ford spec for the Bronco. I remember looking at the site and it wasn't there so ended up going with Valvoline instead.
