Their oil is actually fine. I used it for 10k on my F150 til the price went up.
You can get a lot of miles out of one with never changing it all . People are just throwing $$$ away if they intend to trade it in anyway .

That's a neat website you linked, at any rate. I hadn't seen that before. I just spent the last hour on that site looking at their numbers on oils and ATF I've used the past few years - good knowledge. Thank you for that!
Thanks, that is one of the reasons I linked to it , so people on here could go and learn for themselves , not through hear-say. I have used that site for many years and others like it when I do research on oils before I retired .

I try and keep up with the different kinds , brands ect of oil that people use in their vehicles , so I read a lot , and I use this site about once a month to see what they come up with . They flag oils that are not what they say they are , and I have to admit I don't recognize a lot of them , such as this one . But I know from reading , on this forum and others that a lot of people buy their oil from this place . So I will just put it out there and you can decide for yourself . The number one take away here is that this oil has a VERY high Noack Volatility ,which means a lot of it is going into the PCV system which in turn gums up the intake valves . Just my 2 cents ,,

Hmmm. I guess I may be doing wrong but I use Motorcraft oil and filters. Don't see anyone else here saying they do. But figured it's a Ford so use Ford Oil. 🤔
Always used Castrol 20/50 in Everything, before getting my Ranger.
