Did Mobil 1 change their formula of their Mobil 1 Truck and SUV oil? Do I have old stock? Or an old formula? Just picked this up at a local O'Reilly's. The jug makes no mention of the extra detergents in the oil. I've read that the T&S oil contains 10% of cleaners and detergents to help...

There is a place called buyoil.com. They sell the cardboard eco boxes for commercial garages. They are 20Liters or 6 gal depending on manufacture and brand of oil. They are no bargain though. Example the Mobil 1 ecobox is 20L. It's 169.99. That's no deal at all. You cheapest place is Walmart.com...

I'm surprised to see Castrol Edge and Castrol Edge EP in both OW-20 and 5W-20 grades at the low end. 8.20 and 8.18 I got a tiny Ford Ecosport with 1.0L EcoBoost. I drive above average mileage and do use this vehicle for light towing purposes as it is rated for it. Ford specs 5W-20 oils and I've...

I found this on sale today at Walmart. I haven't seen it there in a long time. I even questioned before in another thread if they was discontinuing it. It is the same price as the regular mobil1. I'll give it a try. the only documented difference I see is it contains more detergents to reduce...

Owners manual of my Ford vehicle specs 5W-20 or OW-20 for extreme cold. Is there any real difference? I prefer to use OW-20 full synthetic at all times. Not much deviation. Where I do deviate is in oil filter. It's specs the ever popular Motorcraft FL910s filter. Fram equivalent would be the...

Castrol GTX. I use straight 30W in lawnmowers and small engines

Love it! Is it overkill? Possibly? I own Ford vehicles and awhile back took a liking to Castol Edge oils. Where Ford does not market Motorcraft oils Castrol oil is their oil of choice. Castrol Magnatec was the premium synthetic oil available from dealerships. Marketed and sold with Ford and...

I have 2020 Ford Ecosport. Both engines can use either 5W-20 or 0W-20. In the specifications it specs an oil meeting WSS-M2C-945A, B1 specs for 5W-20. Alternatively you can use OW-20 oil. Ford suggesests OW-20 in extreme cold but it's safe alternative to 5W-20 grade. That spec is...

Considering that Motorcraft oil is semi-synthetic you would be going above and beyond using a full synthetic oil. 10,00i oil change is not a stretch at oil if using a quality full synthetic oil. Use a quality filter that offers a long life. The OEM Motorcraft filter is good quality. Value...

I created another thread a couple weeks ago asking about a shortage on Castrol Edge EP oil. I've been having hard time finding it. I thought maybe they were discontinuing it. After visiting several stores I finally came across some and a Walmart. I found 3 jjigs, all 0W-20, tucked away on the...

I think Fordnhas some issues with supply chain and inventory. I drive high mileage and I'm meticulous with maintenance. I prefer to do it myself but can't always. Sometimes I travel away with work. My last oil change was done at a Ford dealership in Georgia. I got the routine works package done...

Was not here to argue Ford oils. The OP asks for a quality oil. I'm a fan of the Castrol Edge. Proven, works well. I think Castrol Edge and Mobil1 are 2 best mainstream oils on the market. OP has issues with oil consumption. In spec grade of 0W-20 the Castrol Edge was an ever so slightly more...

I don't understand where there is any confusion. Outside of the United States where they don't brand Motorcraft products Ford works extensively with Castrol to supply their motor oils. I know that Ford specifically worked with Castrol developing an oil for the European spec 1.0Ll EcoBoost...

I'm not sure what section to post this in. I have a 2020 Ford Ecosport with the 1.0L Ecoboost engine. That particular engine uses a variable displacement oil pump. I was just chatting with a person who is a hot rodder and engine builder and I'm just saying about that I wanted to use a different...

I'm a fan of Castrol Edge or Castrol EdgeEP. As a Ford person. FORD , themselves, like Castrol and work with Castrol developing the Motorcraft oils. If you look at product details and specifications the Castrol Edge OW-20 is ever so slightly heavier oil compared to the Mobil OW-20

What kind of sedan? The OEM Ford Motorcraft filters are cheap. They are good quality. Hard to beat. They fit many other models of vehicles. The FRAM tough guard or Ultra are both good for the money. For a premium filter the Fram Ultra is a good deal.

I've seen threads like this in the past. I see people using larger filters on the 2.0L Ecoboost and 2 3L Ecoboost. The FL400s will fit, it's an upsize but the pressure relief is 20psi vs 14.5psi for the FL910s. I've seen Fram 3614 and 3600 series used interchangeably. They have a bypass rating...

FRAM! Not sure about all of them. I know the tough guard and higher end filters are made in the USA. Not only that,but FRAM had the stigma of being crappy. Here is one exame of made in the USA is better. FRAM , not to long ago, moved production back to USA for their filters for better quality...

Is there a shortage on Castrol Edge extended protection motor oil? Or are they phasing it out? I've used Castrol Edge extended protection in a previous oil change. Yes, the oil in the gold jug. Supposedly castrol's top of the line synthetic oil. A while back I bought it one roll back at my...

Several of the smaller Ford Ecoboost engines use a bathed in oil timing belt. I know both the 1.0L and 1.5L 3cylinder engines have a bathed in oil timing belt. Other engines may also have one, not sure.
