Just use a good quality/name brand motor oil and filter,thats all.... I would shy away from anything that has the word "Value" on it X2. And for the record I use either Valvoline or Royal Purple full synthetic oil.

So you're gonna put it in there and if nothing bad happens then you will assume it's a good oil ? Do I really have to reply...

How about a semi-synthetic? Motorcraft semi-synthetic, which is spec'd and used by Ford is available at Wal-Mart for very cheap. I pay 2.xx something a quart. They also carry the Motorcraft filter at Wal-Mart. Makes for an inexpensive oil change, not to metion it's OEM. I've always used the Motorcraft Semi-Synthetic oil and Motorcraft oil filters for all of my Ford vehicles. If you took it to the dealer.. they'd be using the same stuff. Why not use stuff that Ford designed for the vehicles they build??

I use regular oil(I like valvoline,but whatever your pref is) and Lucas engine treatment (or "engine snot" as some call it) I have 149,800 miles on my 97pi. I went 5,000 miles and didn't burn any at all. Oil came out looking new when I changed it.
