I've been choosing Motorcraft full-synthetic for my 15 Taurus. Today I was considering using a shorter oil change interval this summer and using Motorcraft blended this time. The car will sit a lot over Summer while I commute on a motorbike. Come Fall, I would again use the full synthetic for the greater car use and the good cold temperature qualities of the full. But until then I expect only a couple 2-3k miles.
The service adviser told me it would now be unwise to select blended. He told me a chemical in the blended would now begin to cause oil problems long term if I did not stick with the full synthetic.
I find this hard to believe.
