Is this marketed as a new oil engine? Or is this marketed a high mileage engine oil? I wouldn't see how it would be better than any other quality oil with the detergents that are in them. If this oil truly does clean then I could see how this could be beneficial to an older oil with oil and...

Yeah and 10 months later doesn't seem to be much info. I'm lost to find a filter or equivalent other buy from dealership. This apparently is a new filter. Similar in size to the Motorcraft FL910s but threaded differently. Apparently this changed took place in 2023 Lincoln Corsair and 2023 Ford...

I'm interested in digging up more information on this filter topic. I just took delivery of a new 2024 Lincoln Corsair with the 2.0L EcoBoost. I see where the spec filter is FL2127. I cannot find a cross reference to it. It appears similar to the FL910S. Apparently this new fielder has different...

This just shows what proper maintenance and proper driving can do for any vehicle. Arguably one the cheapest, and crappiest vehicles on the road and here we have a tear down at 279,000mi. I drive high miles. I've driven multiple vehicles past 250,000mi. Could have gone more. On one I made a...

I'm looking for information on Motorcraft oils. The normal everyday Motorcraft oil used by dealerships is a synthetic blend. Ford and Motorcraft sell full synthetic versions of the oil. Is there any real testing data with results of the comparisons of the synthetic blend vs the full synthetic...

Just digging up an old post here. Just days ago I took delivery of a brand new 2024 Lincoln Corsair. This vehicle has the 2 l EcoBoost. I'm just looking for some oil recommendations. Is there any reason why I should run a 0W30 as opposed to 5W30? I will likely go with a full synthetic. Castrol...

Ford Motorcraft oil is Phillips66. Outside the USA and around the world Ford works directly with BP and Castrol. Ford recommends Castrol oil and even sells Castrol through dealerships outside the USA. Ford worked with Castrol to develope a specific European spec oil for the 1.0L EcoBoost engine.

Any good quality oil will be fine as long as it's 5W-30 spec or OW-30. Ford is particularly fond of Castrol oil of not using their own Motorcraft oil. Keep in the OEM oil of Motorcraft isn't even full synthetic. You can get it full synthetic. Ford doesn't require a full synthetic oil for their...

Girlfriends RAV4 specs OW-16 oil. Is there a lot of difference between 0W-16 and 0W-20? The owner's manual of her vehicle specs out 0W16. I'm sure it's for CAFE standards. It is also clearly written in the owner's manual that you may use 0W-20 oil as a substitute if you cannot find 0W-16. I...

The Frame XG line seem to be about the best quality filter for the money. Even the premium XG series are less than $10 a piece at most box box department stores. I have never seenmany complaints about the XG series and their filtration abilities and the engineering and design of the filter. If...

Been a while. I'm revisiting my original post. What changed with oil composition? I've taking a liking to this Mobil 1 Truck & SUV oil. As mentioned in the threads I'm using this in a EcoBoost engine that specs 5W-20 or 0W-20 as an alternative recommendation in extreme cold. What brought me to...

Why the worry about turbos? Decades ago I agree that a turbo charged gasoline engine was troublesome. Parts and equipment has gotten better. Any modern turbocharged engine has been designed from the block up to handle forced induction from a turbo charger. The days are over of simply slapping a...

I probably just use a quality 5W-20 oil. My choice of oil is usually Castrol Edge or Mobil 1 Truck & SUV oil. I don't see a need for me ever be necessary that I must have a OW-30 oil. 5W-30 will do fine for me.

A 5W-30 oil will work fine for me. I coming from another Ford vehicle where 5W-20 is the spec oil. I use a full synthetic oil. I've been using OW-20 pretty much since vehicle was new. Ford allows OE-20 or 5W-20. Similar spec works for FORD engines using 5W-30 oil. Ford allows 5W-30 or a OW-30...

I am soon going to take possession of a new Lincoln with a 2.0 l EcoBoost. There is a similar thread about using 0w30 for an EcoBoost engine. It doesn't really answer the question of what choices? Pennzoil, Castrol, Mobil1 ESP, other brands make quality OW-30 oils. Almost all are marketed for...
