I'll probably stick with Rotella or Motorcraft, is one better than the other for this particular application?
I'm a Ford fan (not newer ones) but not a Motorcraft fan. Had undesirable experiences with it in my Fords. Don't know much about RGT but I'm sure it would be fine. Like I said earlier, SuperTech for your Bronco.
Was your Motorcraft experience specific to the oil??
I've actually never read a post complaining about the Motorcraft line of oils.
I'm sure it's on this site, but who makes supertech for Walmart?
I know it is a great oil for the price from what I can find.
While I don't own a ford, I did post awhile back of their possibly being an issue with Motorcraft SynBlend being used in Ecoboost applications causing notorious camphaser issues. Seems like every company using high output turbo applications is recommending a full synthetic usually ACEA spec or Dexos spec, while Ford is recommending a Synblend. Many people have complained about fuel dilution in these instances as well. Pair that with the Motorcraft filter failures we've seen in these applications, there are plenty complaints about Motorcraft branded things.
I'd honestly avoid anything not-synthetic in turbo direct injected applications, but that's just me.
Motorcraft will probably work fine in this Bronco, but an HDEO can usually be found cheaper and will exceed the SF rating of 1985
I haven't read about the filter issues, I'll have to look into that.
I can see the logic and wonder why the Syn Blend over full synthetic for the turbo direct injections.
My ecoboost will always have a full synthetic ran in it.
