On a lot of higher quality oils the only thing that changed was the label on the jug or bottle specifying it met the new SP spec. Automakers were forced to come up with new specifications for testing for SP spec. I'd use any quality oil with confidence. Semi-sythetic or full synthetic

I just switched to Castrol Edge EP OW-20 from Mobil1 OW-20 AFE. Only reason was my local Walmart had Castrol EP on rollback to 25.12 from 27.47. Mobil 1 AFE is still a quality oil. Full synthetic. Still rated one the best on the market. 10,000mi recommend interval. I will never exceed a 10...

Pennzoil brags their Platinum and Ultra oil up about keeping the engine and pistons cleaner.

2020 Ford Ecosport 1.0L Ecoboost 5qt Castrol Edge EP OW-20 Motorcraft FL-910s filter Castol Edge EP was on rollback to $25.12 at my local Walmart from $27.47. I honestly think they were way overstocked.

Last oil change I just switched from Mobil 1 AFE to Castrol Edge EP. Ford's Motorcraft oils are engineered and produced in collaboration with Castrol. Maybe I go against some people but I choose to use OW-20 at all times even though Ford says 5W-20 spec

Use it! How does the sum of the contents at up to less? My next oil change I do will be a similar concoction. Every oil change I do takes about 4.5 quarts. I always have a pint left over. Got a 5 qt jug full of leftovers now, or at least enough for a 4.5 at oil change. It's all OW-20 oil but a...

Worst one I've changed oil in is a current 1.0L 3yl Ecoboost. Filter is up high on backside of engine. It's over the axle shaft. No way to drain it without getting on everything or creating a makeshift funnel or dam to catch the oil and divert it. It's in an Ecosport vehicle. That 1.0L is tiny...

Years ago Ibised to feel that bigger was better. Bigger filter, more filtration media and volume. Now, I feel use what it is designed for. Only negative I can see using a bigger filter is possibly a fraction of a sec longer to fill the filter with oil to build pressure to pump it back to the...

OW-20 is thinner than 5W-20 when at ambient temperature. Going to flow faster through the engine at start up. The difference might be negligible and you would need a laboratory to prove the difference.

Agree 100%. Whjy not use it. OW-20 flows easier and quicker than 5W-20 at startup. At normal temperatures they are virtually the same. When I go buy a jug of oil they are all the same price regardless of viscosity.

You can use 0W-20 oil across all ranges of temperatures. Ford simply recommends that if it's below -20 they prefer you to use OW-20. I agree in normal temperatures and normal conditions there's probably zero advantage to using a 0W-20 oil. I think the reason Ford has never spec it as standard is...

My question was that it appears to me that the older Ford specs of 947A/B1 for OW-20 seem to have been superseded long ago by the 5W-20 spec of 945A/B1. Why? It's 2 different oil viscosities. Now the Ford 945A/B1 specs seem to be superseded with the new 960/961/962 specs for the appropriate...

Newbie here. I got a question for oil geeks. I've done some research. Ford's oil specs of WSS-M2C-945A/B1 are for 5W-20 oil. Ford's oil specs of WSS-M2C-947A/B1 are for OW-20 oil. You can Google up the engineering documents for those specs. 2 Separate different sources list the WSS-M2C-947A/B1...
