Maybe Ford will be better than Hyundai and Subaru at avoiding the LSPI bug, but I am using a low calcium oil (Mobil 1 5W30) in my DIT engine out of an abundance of caution. My car was just recalled due to what I think is an LSPI problem and I was told I had no engine damage, but I guess I haven't heard of any Fords having this problem yet (and Hyundai seemed to be only with the first year Veloster Turbos).
2016 Ford Fiesta ST, oil suggestions?

I think at 5,000 I will get a used oil analysis done to see where I stand and how long I can stretch the oil change intervals.

So maybe the Mobil 1 (or Edge) EP is NOT a good idea in these engines?
