Anybody else have this experience with this oil?
What you heard was either a lower viscosity oil that was removed, or because the oil was spent / used. I see Fords running by me every day walking my dog. They use Motorcraft mostly and the engines are quiet.
Being you never mentioned "New Escape".... You sometimes ask for issues buying used vehicles - not knowing what the prior owner did with that engine -- not knowing if the dealer really did change that oil when he handed you the keys. Had you bought that Escape new, you would not be complaining about Motorcraft oil today. Conoco Philips is good stuff.
