I use Mobil 1, and I have for decades. However, it does NOT meet Ford specs. It might say on the label that the Mobil corporation RECOMMENDS that oil for vehicles that require Ford spec WSS-M2C946-B1 , but it has not been approved by Ford. They did license their products under the Dexos spec for GM but for whatever reason skipped Ford (probably money because testing to each manufacturer's spec is costly). That being said, I have every confidence that Mobil One 5W30 is the best oil for our vehicles.I want the truck to last as long as possible. I find the reports interesting, and want to give the truck good care. I don’t feel like Mobile 1 will kill my truck; it meets Ford’s specs. If I can do better at reasonable cost, I’d like to do so. As stated, I will probably try the Motocraft to see how it does, and I like reading the reports. If you don’t want oil analysis, and I’ve never used it before, feel free not to use it. I don’t use it on my 2016 Corolla with Mobile 1 or my 1998 C2500 with conventional Valvoline. Both are doing great.
