I noticed this on Ford's website today, never seen a Dexos rated Motorcraft product before. Do you think this is a mistake? No mention of it anywhere besides the picture.
Dexos Rated Motorcraft

If it is from Motorcraft directly, it is almost certainly intentional.
MCSB has been becoming obsolescent and its almost always cheaper to get QSFS or Supertech FS, so I hope this trickles down to retail level.
Plus, I'm sure that by Motorcraft gaining Dexos approval, Ford dealerships could leverage this for Quick Lane service for warrantied GM vehicles.

I'm thinking it's a marketing mix up with whatever Phillips oil this is based off. Can't imagine Ford putting a GM certification on their bottle.
I don't know... but didn't Ford eventually start using DexCool?
"Helps Protect Against Piston Damage"
Ford just expanding the target market for it's motor oil. Sell more oil, make more profit.
On the bottle it says it meets a Ford regulation.
well.. Ford dealers do sell used GM vehicles too.
and some folks will take a car for service to wherever they bought it, regardless of the brand name over the door.
Heck, when I had my neon, the local Ford dealer put new tires on it, and aligned it... they didn't care who made the car, just that my money was green.

At first glance I thought Champion Labs … here is an old thread
FoMoCo Ford Focus Factory Filter (Champ Labs)
Was on the car for 800 miles or so. Any metal shavings you see are from using a dremel tool to cut it open. Looks like a Champion Labs filter to me, from the baseplate. This thing has HEFT, the media is heavy! It is a very, very solid filter. I wish I could buy these Motorcraft filters for...

That's a Champ. The base plate with the one hole that's bigger than the others gives it away
