Just took delivery of a 2021 Ford Bronco Sport with the 3 cylinder turbo engine, 1.5 L. I noticed that Amsoil does not have an oil recommendation on the website yet which did not surprise me as it's a brand new model. But I have a question that my dealer service department couldn't answer. I've used 100% synthetic Amsoil in everything I've owned since 1979. I noticed in the Bronco Sport manual they (naturally) recommend Motorcraft synthetic blend oil, or Motorcraft traditional old style oil, but they did not recommend Motorcraft 100% Synthetic. Wondering if there is some reason that they don't want 100% synthetic in these motors? Of if there was some logical reason? Or if they just didn't want to steer people to more expensive, or perhaps less readily available Motorcraft 100% synthetic oil? Is it a marketing thing or a technical thing? Figured if anyone would know, it would be Amsoil! Naturally I intent to switch to Amsoil as soon as they have a recommendation posted, but why isn't Ford recommending their own 100% synthetic?
