I used the MC 910 for many successful years ( half a million miles), but 2 years ago I started noticing black rubber in the bottom of my oil change pan caused by the over spray on the end caps. So I am now using the Fram Ultra, but who knows they may be defective as well. However I never saw...

I learned how reliable Ford Fusions are.

Changed oil today in my 2012 Craftsman 42 in riding mower. 2 year OCI. Engine is a 21HP Briggs. Out: M1 10-30 In: M1 10-30 Filter: Fram Ultra 3014

EPA is my guess!!

Yes. When I switched to M1 5-20 in 1978 I offset the $5 qt for M1 compared to 45 cents per qt with Valvoline. There was such a dramatic difference I've stuck with M1 ever since. 10K OCIs and all the other benefits.

M1 oils of the proper wt. will prevent sludge, varnish, and coking rings. I do 10K OCIs for the last 47 years wth M1 and have never had those 1ssues.

Doubt that. My 2007 Ford Fusion has 328K all on M1 with zero varnish. 10K OCI.

Truly. That's why I select engines in my cars that are designed for the long haul. Can the higher ZDDP effect the cats?

Every time I have a tire removed I re-torque the lug nuts to 100 lbs. Helps prevent brake wobble.

I haven't had that problem in this engine. My 2007 Ford fusion with 328K. This pic was about 2-3 weeks ago.

Last week I did my normal 10K OCI in my 2017 Ford Fusion. Oil consumption is basically 0. Oil Out: M1 5-30 EP Oil IN: M1 5-30EP Filter: Fram Ultra 3614

I've used M1 oils since 1978 and have not found your claim to be true. It fact todays M1 performs as good or maybe better than any I've used. That's my experience.

I used MC oil filters for many years all at 10K OCIs. Probably put at least 700,000 miles +with the MC filters in Fords. Stopped using them last year when the black glue started showing up in my oil change pan.

My 2017 Ford Fusion calls for LV ATF. I only used M1 LV HP atf and the trans shifts great up and down. I do the drain and fill every 30-35 K and the fluid drains out very clean as apposed to the MC LV fluid which drained out very dark the first two D&Fs I did.

Actually the tan tint is not varnish, but residual oil that hasn't been wiped out.

I've been using 5-30 for 50K or so and I can't seem to notice any change.

It is. I also had a 2007 Focus with the 2.0 Duratech. Great small car however it was totaled when it only had 175K. Also my 2017 Fusion performs very well with 180K.

Todays pic of the cyl head for a gasket change on 2007 Ford Fusion 2.3. this engine now has 327 K (miles) and still runs great with only 6-8 oz of oil use in my normal 10K OCI. Still shows no sign of engine wear.

In the mid 80s I owned two Fords both with the 2.0 diesel engines. One was a 85 Ford Escort wagon and the other was a 84 Ford Tempo. Both had the 5 speed manual trans. Got great MPG, 45 local and 52 MPG on the hyw.

In regards to the shear thing, that may depend on the oil that's used.
