Alright Bronco Sport owners. Tell me who is using synthetic vs conventional oil and why. Pros and cons. I always assumed synthetic is better am I wrong? I used synthetic in my Edge sport.

I simply went with cost? as they didn't offer blend or conventional. And my dad put it best, old gear head (his pride was a bored and balanced '65 Impala...fire breathing beast) unless I plan to drive this truck 20+ years it's likely not going to matter too much.Synthetic will reduce engine friction, add some HP due to the reduced friction, and it will flow quicker in cold weather on startup, does not break down in high heat environments. Down sides is synthetic will leak more if there are any engine oil leaks. But overall synthetic is far superior then conventional oils.
Well Cuda gave his $6.98, after my input it's more like $5.73 total...I just drive em and know enough to need guys like Cuda to unscrew whatever I did??Thanks guys appreciate the input was waiting for @13MikeH and @69cuda340s ’s 2 cents.
Napa Gold is/was made by Wix last I knew, was highly rated then also. Other Napa filters are made by others. Napa doesn't necessarily pull a Wix of the shelf and slap their name on it. They are built to Napa spec whatever that may be.All seriousness either should be fine, follow the recommendations. My dad used Pennzoil on everything he owned and they ran like champs. Good filter, motorcraft is spec their engineers had a plan. Apparently Napa Gold is rated the best filter on the market? Anyone have better info?
