What does Ford require in order to keep the warranty intact?
I was looking for the best oil to use to avoid having to use the warranty. Some of the European spec oils like this seem to address many of the issues that seem to hinder the Ecoboost engines. European manufactures have been doing small turbo engines a lot longer than the Big Three. Was just wondering if the engine would be better protected and last longer with this type of protection. id sacrifice .1 mpg for better protection if that's the only difference.
They call for a 5W30 but allow for a 0W30 (usually). As long as it meets the WSS-M2C963-A1 spec, which apparently isn't that strict of a specification.
The 2.0 Ecoboost has been around for a while. It’s a solid engine. Just use any oil that meets the Ford specifications.
Use it. Better than what FORD actually recommends. Much better.
Only an oil that does not damage the engine. There is no other requirement.
The "Big 3" have been making turbo'd engines for years in EU before they saw this side of the pond. The main reason Americans don't take care of cars and we like displacement better so they never were profitable to now. I also would be negligent if I didn't mention Turbo Dodge's, GM's various I4 & V6 plants, and Ford's I4 variants from years long gone.
Exactly. ESP is the best of the XOM offerings imo.

Early 90’s - guy here had that little GM truck with the turbo 4.3L … that woke a few on turbo enhancement
As always, base oil viscosity is a factor with regard to chain life. Chains last longest with a 30 viscosity oil.
According to this tech, not really.
And who knows if the redesigned head will hold up with the updated tiny coolant passages.
The updated blocks are quite robust. They have been around in various forms for quite some time. Even the older versions can often hold up for 250k miles.
