My 2015 Explorer and me are in Phoenix, AZ* for a another month. I wanted to
get an oil change prior to returning to NJ.
Here is the problem. Ford states that it uses a 'synthetic blend' oil. I don't
know what the dealer used last, as all my records are still in NJ and it was
under a free dealership oil change when I did the last one. (Normally I do my
own.)
The place I can get the oil changed at does either full synthetic or full
conventional oil.
Since I'll be putting another 500 miles on the truck out here, before I trek
another 3000 miles across the country, what oil should I use? I don't know if
it even makes a difference. But there is extreme heat out here (but it's
cooling off now.)
I'm having the shop do this Sunday so I need to make a decision soon.
*BTW, any Phoenix shop-talkers want to get together for a beer/coffee this
weekend? I'm buying!
Thanks.
