hi there
i haven't used gtx for ages now, although at the time it was fine. don't think it's SAE 5W-30 though (16 valve engine). i'm using halfords own brand SAE 5w-30 oil. can't say i'm impressed. one of them nothing wrong with it, but nothing right with it!  next change will be with havoline energy (texaco) SAE 5W-30. £15 for 5 litres at asda/wal-mart.
regards

ps. ford 'should' try and sell you formula E (recommended), but at about £25-£30 for 5 litres, it would take some sales person for me to pay that!

When in doubt, go full synthetic.
