Maybe with that kind off mileage might be worth putting a slightly thicker oil in but some thing good not main dealer crap.
Engine sounds like its Running with thin/wrong oil.
Ford recommend 10/40 semi for my st but I'm running 5/40 fully castrol edge sport to cope with the higher bhp.
I would put a thicker oil personally.

Dunno if it's just my speakers, but is your exhaust manifold leaking slightly?
