No. And some will say, "well, it probably does meet it but Pennzoil doesn't want to pay for all their oils to have dexos1 on the container."

I'd still use it in my Malibu. It's good oil.

Edit: Just read the post two places above mine from @Glenda W. Basically the same thing i said, but she actually used a source, LOL.

Sort of like BP fuel not being rated TT. They say it would meet the requirements.
"Trust me"

Either it has the approvals or it doesn't

Good 10-20k oil. Within reason.

I wouldn’t exactly say that having the dexos1 Gen3 approval makes one oil better than another. Supertech/Kirkland has it and it’s not as good of an oil as PUP is by any stretch of the imagination

OTOH - going from PP to PUP ain’t exactly like stepping up to AMSOIL Signature Series or HPL … so … Nah …

True, the difference between the two is not a massive leap.

I continued to use Valvoline Maxlife Blend in our Buick even after it no longer carried the Dexos license. The old 3.6 still soldiered on for what that’s worth. I’m sure it would have soldiered on with PUP too.

Imagine... If all oil companies thought like this then they could give a better product to the consumer, the company could save some money and everyone wins.

No unfortunately and will void Ford warranty.

Nothing voids warranty, unless is documented or proved.

It’s documented in the oil specification in the owners manual .

I meant, if nobody know you use it.

The onus is on the owner to prove he's innocent. The owner has to prove compliance, the dealer/manufacture doesn't. And if the owner doesn't present the evidence (receipts showing compliance) he's guilty and can pound sand.
Start offering to pay people's repair bills when the warranty is denied before giving bad advice to go against what the warranty states. There's a lot of that here, especially misapplying Magnusson-Moss Act. And never anyone putting their money where their mouth is.

I'm not giving advice. I'm just saying that there is nothing that can stop an owner to use any oil he wants, if the only thing that would prove that is a receipt (piece of paper).
There are many other things that may go wrong than an oil which covers all requirements, but one.

Ok. True.
