    Pennzoil Platinum vs Valvoline Advanced vs Castrol Edge vs Quaker State

    Ask yourself is there one reason other than EPA/CAFE standards Ford would recommend a 20W in your Coyote? If you are unable to find a reason 30W is your answer. My choice would be Quaker State 5W-40 for a good balance of value and protection at $22 5/qts delivered.

    Vibration (like buffeting) 68-73MPH new tires, 3 different shops checked

    0w20 or 0w30 for Turbo Charged GDI Engines?

    Yet they will also install start/stop equipment or DOD/AFM systems which reduce reliability, increase manufacturings costs and increase warranty costs to help maintain CAFE/EPA compliance. My opinion is the recommended oil is a part of compliance, not what GM would ultimately recommend.

    0w20 or 0w30 for Turbo Charged GDI Engines?

    Love the dealership scare tactics to build service income. The service center is the cash cow of the operation afterall. Post #14 is the answer IMO.

    Sounds like 2025s are having issues as well.

    0w20 or 0w30 for Turbo Charged GDI Engines?

    This is where I differ. My belief is the manufacture's recommendation is heavily influenced by CAFE/EPA as well as being able to advertise a slightly better mpg. Remove those factors and their recommendations would change IMO.
