It's got the Banks Powerpak system on it so it uses a reuseable filter which I did clean and oil lately.

The shop that fixed my dirty MAF told me to never use a reusable filter you have to oil.
What happens is you over oil it and the oil is then drawn into the MAF and contaminates it.
They said they see that problem very often.
I suggest replacing the air filter with a dry filter and cleaning the MAF.

An overly lean condition can burn a piston and/or warp and exhaust valve costing you a lot of money. You have been warned by the system.
At least check the fuel pressure at the rails. Maybe pull the injectors on those two cyls (better to pull all of them) and have them tested and cleaned.

I've had 3 V10s, a 99, a 2008 and now a 2019. All I've ever run is 87. You've been given good advice here.

I'm thinking of getting these : https://www.ebay.com/itm/10x-Fuel-In...sAAOSwypZbzh6H. After all there is almost 48,000 miles on what I would guess are the original injectors. I'll get a new air filter and clean the maf too .

I removed the "New" injectors and sent them into a shop for testing.
10 of the 16 injectors are junk and need to be replaced.
If you diagnose injectors as a problem. Remove them and send them to a reputable shop for testing and service. Repair or replace as needed with quality known brand units only.
Cheep Chinese knockoffs that dont work will not help you. They will cost you big as you will remove them from the possibility of the source of the problem because they are new. Causing you to look elsewhere, spend money on other items when they are the problem all along.

May or may not be related: If there was a water ingestion incident that destroyed the filter, its possible you have filter debris in the intake tube / ducting. May not hurt to take the rubber tube off the throttle body and look inside.
If you haven't done so yet, consider doing the ingestion modification. Ford issued a TSB for this. This is how I did mine..
F53 – TSB air intake reduces water ingestion – 1999 Southwind 35S

The injectors that I'm looking at are supposedly rebuilt oem Bosch units and not Chinese knockoffs. I also have the Banks intake system and I was told that it cures that water ingestion problem. It's the ram air system.

Yep. This is good advice and certainly something to check.
To answer your original question, we always run 87% octane and ALWAYS use top tier fuel. We never top off with the cheapest fuel unless it's absolutely necessary and there's no other alternative. We don't like feeding our coach cheap fast food.

A little update on my post. I did clean the maf and I also pulled the 5 injectors on the pass. side and cleaned them. I got on youtube and found a slick way to clean them and now it idles smooth without surging. I have only put about 60 miles on it since then but it hasn't thrown a code yet. Time will tell. This is how I cleaned them.

How much fuel do you keep in your tank when u winterize? What fuel treatments do you guys use? I use Startron to keep it fresh.
Don't mean to hijack just kinda along the same line...
