Coil is new. Maybe it's defective, so I guess I'll try that at some point. I did buy MasterPro after all - junk!

Ive been buying Denso off Amazon. They look identical to original Ford part, to the point on the ones I have the resin on top is scraped in the exact spot the ford part number normally resides.

But I don't get Denso for $15 lol

Ive had good luck with standard motor products coils or BWD as they are the same company that makes the motorcraft coils.
What brand did you get off amazon?

1 step colder wouldnt hurt anything where you're at anyway.
The colder plugs are standard for flex fuel vehicles, which I believe was optional on the OP's 2008...

I do have flex fuel, but I never use it. It just gets E15 or whatever the normal gasoline is in California.

Funny story, I bought a set of four Standard/BWD coils for my Escape because I wanted to change them to see if it would help anything (it didn't, and I don't feel like explaining why I thought I had bad coils on that car) one of them even had the Motorcraft part number on it LOL.

Yep.
One step further - it's impossible to answer "who makes (insert automaker) coils?". Said contracts are always rotating as logistics and pricing change. You could buy two coils in Motorcraft boxes, and get a Standard in one and a Denso in another.
Aftermarkets also contract their stuff out. I've gotten SKF bearings in National boxes, National bearings in Timken boxes, etc...
Really, with a few exceptions, no matter what brand you are buying, you are getting one of only a few possible parts. The only thing different you are getting between brands is the box, the price, and sometimes the warranty.

Ah, good to know. I will note that.
