Assuming the trailer does not have brakes, you also need to check what the limits are for unbraked trailers in each state you use it in. In SC, for example, it is 2070# GVWR.

I am unaware of any published HTHS spec for the SP version of M1 AFE 0W-30. I would love to see it if you have it.

Some facts about the Ford spec: Per Ford Expedition manuals, WSS-M2C953-A1 (superseded by WSS-M2C945-A or WSS-M2C963-A1) is now required (as of 2022) for temperatures <= -20F. 0W30 meeting WSS-M2C953-A1 was first recommended for cold weather by Ford in 2017, although in the US market no oil...

Fram Endurance.

M1 AFE is the only 0W-30 oil available in the US that claims to meet or exceed Ford’s WSS-M2C963-A1 Spec. ESP does not.

12 months in service. Almost entirely highway driving. Temperatures ranged from 0F - 100F. Summer driving included hauling a 2500# trailer over mountain passes. Oil Filter: Fram Endurance. In: PUP 5W-30, Boss oil filter. Air filter: Purolator PureOne.

I haven't carefully studied this analysis since I posted it last year, but my recollection is that they did not differentiate between milage and exposure to cold temperatures. I don't think exposure alone would modify the oil, but the combination of milage and exposure might. But I am by no...

No, the mystery was not solved. I hung on to this thread up until this point because I was looking for that solution, but nobody had the solution. We are still lost in the same mystery that I described in post # 30. As I did with M+H, I have written the CEO of PG to help solve the mystery...

Where was it solved?

This thread is supposed to be about the efficiency of the PG filter. But since you have decided to divert it to beat up on the Boss filter instead, let me explain my reasoning for picking the Boss in my latest oil change: I am using the Boss filter with one of the best motor oils, do not have...

The one I just installed does not look like that. Easy to check before installation, is it is not a worry for me.

Uh ... no. You must be unfamiliar with how good modern polyester fiber is. It is used today in some of the best industrial filters. Also, most of the running rigging in a modern yacht is made from it, because it is so strong. Paper may block more light when put under a microscope, but it is...

You realize that you are comparing opaque paper with translucent polyester fiber ...

Because of the (probably carefully crafted) vagueness of the published information from PG, their unresponsiveness to questions, and the lack of any third party testing data, it is currently impossible to answer your question. All we have is assumptions and beliefs.
