Follow this link to the current MSDS for Motorcraft oil. MSDS 173219 is dated 11/22/04 for the 5W20 and 5W30 Premium Synthetic Blend oils, so I'd guess they would be the newer API SM grades.

Hard to say what the base oil is from the cas no.s listed.
Group I, II, or III

The only thing I don't like about these oils in 5w-30 is that the HT/HS is a little low. Does it really matter?
The latest formula is.
The MSDS's for Conoco, Phillips, Kendall, and 66 indicate around 57% Group III* and the rest (excluding additive pack) Group II**. I suspect that the Motorcraft "persuasion" is the same, which would make it a pretty fair motor oil at its price point.
*listed as "severely hydrotreated heavy parafinnic" - tribologist-speak for Group III.
**not listed specifically as such, but under toxicity, it is defined as non-carcinogenic. That fact carries with it the certainty that it's extremely low in naphthenes - a strong indicator of being at least Group II.
