As I just questioned in another thread, I wonder how the Motorcraft Full Synthetic 5W-20 does in Honda engines?
I had found 4 qts in an AA about a week ago (and I needed 5). Today I found another 6 at a different AA. A full syn 5w20 for under $3 a qt. isn't bad. I've heard this is made with Korean syn. base oil. Does anybody know anything about this Korean stuff?

So it's discontinued at Advanced and my local Pep Boys no longer stocks it???
Sup??

The Motorcraft base stock is an Excel Paralube product (or at least used to be), and all other ConocoPhillips oils use Korean base stock. Conoco's Korean base oil comes from S-Oil.
With GS Caltex, SK Corporation and S-Oil, South Korea produces about 45% of the world's group III bases in three facilities. There's probably many other oil companies using Korean base stocks than what many of us realize. I've used the Kendall Full Synthetic in the past with great results, and so I have full trust in the Korean products.

The Group II part of the Motorcraft blend is made at the Excel Paralube facility. The Group III part is from South Korea. Nothing wrong with the Group III's made in South Korea.

I don't think its discontinued. You'll be able to buy it all day long from you local Ford stealership for $8.20 a quart.
It wasn't selling at Advanced Auto so they pulled it. I was told Advanced wouldn't be carrying the MC blend either. Let's face it, Motorcraft doesn't have a big add campaign for its oil so people are going to pay up for Royal Purple for their 4000mi OCI's.
