Mobil 1 for me, for the Bronco and wife's Honda Odyssey (0W-20 for that one). Been using Castrol Edge High Mileage in my son's Toyota FJ Cruiser and runs nicely on that so gonna stick with it. You go with what you're comfortable with.

After learning about the Pennzoil 15 Year/500K warranty from a thread on here - I've been buying the Platinum Full Synthetic and taking to the dealer for my oil changes. I wish I could find the Ultra Platinum locally, but overall can't beat that!

Here are all of the 0W-30 and 5W-30 commonly available oils there are on the market that I could find that are "comparable to Motorcraft". Last I checked, Phillips 66 made Motorcraft oil.

NOTE - many of these oils have statements like "Recommended For" or "Meets Requirements Of" and this is not necessarily the same as "Approved", just keep that in mind if warranties are a concern.

Oil the Magical Elixir. Everyone is looking for that silver bullet.

My first oil change in September ‘21, the dealership asked me if it takes full synthetic or a blend. I shrugged and never thought about it again until now. I should probably look over that service receipt.

Schaeffer Oil?

I am doing my first oil change and this will be the first time stepping away from Motorcraft.....I ran only Motorcraft lubricants on all my past 2017, 2018, and 2020 Ford F-450s with zero issues driving in all weather conditions and all seasons. Now for my 2023 Bronco I am looking at these brands....brands are my least concern its more performance and reliability for 5,000 Mile runs. Also, note oil filters and the quality of them.

Choices on Oil:
Valvoline Advanced Full Synthetic SAE 5W-30 Motor Oil
Mobil 1 Truck & SUV Full Synthetic 5W-30 Motor Oil
Mobil 1 Advanced Full Synthetic 5W-30 Engine Oil

Choices on Filter:
FRAM TITANIUM™ OIL FILTER FS3614
Mobil 1 Extended Performance Oil Filter M1-102A

Switch to a FRAM Endurance (available at Walmart) it has superior filtering efficiency.
