Valvoline 10W-30 conventional here. Both my '90 2.9L (300K+ miles on it) and '94 4.0L (~115K miles) get it.
My '94 suffered it's first 6-7 years on Fram PH8A filters before I discovered the reports on them on BITOG and other sites (reportedly they were once good, but like many things (Moog ball joints anyone?) they went to shit once they had built a reputation for themselves that they continue to feed off of). Since then I've been going back & forth between the Purolator L30001 or Motorcraft FL1A, depending which filter is available cheaper (both were shown to be exactly the same filter, aside from the shape of the inlet holes).
Walmart sells the FL1A for approx $3-4, so more often than not that is what's on it.
