I’m in your same boat. It was only due to a smoking deal on my F150 that I begrudgingly bought a 3.5EB. As you can see by my mother vehicles (‘18 Forester, 07 Impreza) I like simple, similar, easy to fix engines.
The more I learn about oils, the more I think people who have used the Mobil oils with AN/Esters are much better off, and that, barring a special case like my 07 Impreza with original HGs, anyone who can afford oils with AN/Esters will have a longer, healthier engine life no matter when they switch to these oils.
