I said on paper because from my understanding , the FS 0w40 is a full saps oil, and I don’t see how a full saps oil can get the SP rating. The oil has both A3/B4 and API SP rating. And since it’s now SP rated, is it now a mid saps oil? Or is it still a full saps oil, and if so how is it an SP oil?

I’ve seen a thread recently that was titled “M1 0w40 vs Castrol 0w40” and in there OVERKILL mentioned M1 FS 0w40 is now SP rated. The PDS from M1’s website now meantions that the FS 0w40 now meets or exceeds API SN+ and SP. So does that mean the calcium content has been decreased, and/or the...

It seems most pushrod OHV engines generally have higher wear metals on UOA’s, compared to a lot of OHC engines. I think we can kind of all agree on this. Pushrod engines have more valvetrain friction by design. That’s the reason why we generally see higher wear ppm in general with pushrod...

Nope. It’s a daily driver. And I know it isn’t sitting at the bottom of the oil pan. I don’t know where people are getting this “liqui moly mos2 sits on the bottom of the oil pan and does not mix with oil” thing. I’ve looked inside oil pans with borscope cameras just to see if the mos2 sits...

I’ve been using 20 weight oils since day one until about 95k miles in my 2010 Ford Taurus SHO with the 3.5 eco boost. Ford recommended 5w20 in 2010 SHO’s and switched to 5w30 starting 2011 model year. I’ve always used 5w20 and 0w20 in my car because ford recommended 5w20 for my 2010 MY car...

My buddy’s got a beater Acura TL with that engine. Engine has about 295k miles. He use to run 5w20 in it and it burned about half a quart per 2k miles. The engine really needs to be replaced but he’s just gonna run it till it stops running and then junk it. So lately he’s been using whatever...

My latest oil change on my Taurus sho with the 3.5 ecoboost: 1/3 a quart of left over amsoil ss 0w20 One bottle of Liqui Moly Mos2 5 quarts of Valvoline EP 5w30 And a little bit of left over Mobil 1 15w50 from my lawn mower oil change to top it off to get the oil level to full on the dip...

Any 0w20, 5w20, 5w30 will work in your Tacoma. Just pick one and use it with no worries.

Never trust goofy lube. That's why I do my own fluid changes that way I know it's done right. Never heard good things about jiffy lube. Nowadays, i just can't trust anyone but myself.

Pennzoil Euro L 5w-30 for my SHO 3.5 Ecoboost.

They also completely removed "PAO" from EP 5w30 SDS earlier this month. Nobody can really tell us why, or what made M1 remove or even lower the concentration of PAO on their SDS's. Of course, we will never know the all of the actual ingredients or the concentration of each ingredients that goes...

That's why I said we won't know what they're hiding because of "trade secret" type of reasoning, but I and many other people just don't see why they would remove something they used to list on their SDS.

I was just browsing on Mobil 1's website today and decided to look at the Safety Data sheet for the Mobil 1 EP 5w30. It looks like the SDS was revised on June 8, 2022, which is two days ago. I remember looking at the EP 5w30 SDS couple months ago and I know I saw 1-DECENE, TETRAMER AND TRIMER...

Now get ready for comments like: "But.. but... Anything thinner than 15w40 was supposed to be too thin to protect an engine! The engine was supposed to blow up with 0w8. There is no way the uoa looks that good! It has to be made up." Sadly, thousands of bitogers think like this ☝️☝️. People...

I do it about every 10k miles just because it's easy and I don't mind doing it this often. I have a 2010 Ford Taurus SHO with the 3.5 ecoboost. Super easy to remove it and clean it. My throttle body is always pretty clean because I have an oil catch can that catches most of the oil that would...

My 3.5 ecoboost does not like pp. My engine just drinks up PP, about half a quart/3-4k miles. I've tried 5w20 and 5w30. My engine eats both PP oils, about half a quart/3-4k miles. Mobil 1 EP 0w20 seems to be the best for my engine. Does not eat ANY oil, and the level stays exactly the same even...

I remember reading an article couple years ago that said something like Castrol did test their EP oil on a 3.5 Ecoboost. That basically means Castrol was able to get the Ford WSS-MC***** oil spec certification. What Castrol is really saying is their oil tested good enough and within the limits...

I'm "kind of" loyal to Mobil 1. I've used Mobil 1 EP 5w20 and EP 0w20 for 3-4 years straight in my 3.5 Ecoboost. Recently I've been trying out other brands such as Royal Purple and Pennzoil just to try different brands out, but I always find myself going back to Mobil 1. I personally find...

I have the 2010 Ford Taurus SHO with the 3.5 TGDI Ecoboost with 100k miles and Ive been using 0w20 and 5w20 in this engine since 2010. Ford actually recommended 5w20 for my engine in the 2010 MY. Ford recommended 5w20 for the non turbo 3.5 duratec that same MY. In 2011, Ford started...

2010 Ford Taurus SHO - 3.5L Ecoboost (98k miles) Did this oil change two days ago. Out: Royal Purple HPMO 0w20 (Ran it for 3k miles) In: Mobil 1 AFE 0w20 (Will run for about 3-4k miles) Yeah I'm crazy. 0w20 in a 3.5 Ecoboost. Next oil will be Mobil 1 EP 0w20. I keep my OCI at around...
