Whats the difference between conventional, synthetic blend, and full synthetic for a 2026 Ford Mustang?
Full synthetic resists heat and cold-start wear better than blend or conventional, which is why Ford often specifies it for modern performance engines.

Synthetic blends offer a middle ground, while conventional oil is typically not recommended for newer performance applications. Always match the exact Ford specification.
