Greetings,
My wife drives an 03 Honda Pilot. Our dealer uses Valvoline products but I have heard that the Motorcraft stuff is better. Any data to support this?
Thanks,
EBC

Originally posted by Jay: they replied they were all group III. If true, that would make it the least expensive "synthetic" you can buy.

Originally posted by mikemc: After a lot of searching I use Castrol GTX 5w20. It meets the Ford WSSM2C153H spec (a must if you you are going to run 5w20) and it's hot viscosity is about 8.9 Cst, one of the heavier 20 weights (close to 30 weight). Its also very easy to find and I buy a case when Advance puts it on sale for $1.28/qt.
