Cheap oil since you probably use a quart every 100 miles, unless the engine is rebuilt. Then you use what the rebuilder recommends.
If the engine isn't leaking oil, use a high milage oil of your favorite brand. The viscosity of that oil lasts longer for better lubrication.
With more than 300k miles on your vehicle, I'd definitely think about a "high mileage" engine oil for your next oil change.
5W-20 is what was recommended from the factory. But with that high a mileage, I'd be tempted to run 5W-30.
As you servicing and current oil seems to be doing well. Why change? Manufacturers guidelines are there after many millions of miles of testing. Unless Ford recommend a different at high mileage I would carry on as before.

- What type of full synthetic oil to put in 2005 ford focus? I have a 2005 ford focus ST zx4 and need to add oil, this is the first time adding oil since I bought the car. All I know is that the previous owner used full synthetic. I have to add just about a quarter of oil until an oil change in a few weeks. I have heard that full synthetic 5w-30 or 5w-40 is good but no lower than 5w-30 or I can take the chance of blowing up my car… Any thoughts on this?
