I think if people cared about what the OEM recommend they wouldn't be here. BITOG are a special breed of super anal OCD riddled freaks. We want the best for our motors. The OEM just specs a affordable readily available oil for the herds!

Do you think they honestly do any research on what they spec? They spec it to whoever gives them the best deal on factory fills as long as its a somewhat large refinery. Sometimes they even PAY to get there oil in the cars.


Yep, how many miles did they test the Ecoboost V6 in the F150 running MC 5w-30 semi-syn before release to public?

How many people here are running UOA's on their vehicles thru life of vehicle vs how many with different opinions and don't do UOA's? UOA's are ONLY way of knowing what an oil is doing in your specific vehicle. Everything else is speculation!

If you're going to try Edge, that would be good but the gold bottle Edge would be even better. The gold bottle Edge is extremely shear resistant.
