I'm thinking of switching oils from motorcraf 5w-20 full synthetic to Kendall 5w-20 full synthetic. It in a 2012 Ford fusion with the 2.5l I4 duratec it has 30000 miles on of almost all highway. All has been great with the motorcraft but I can get the Kendal for half the price. Do you allfor see any problem with this switch, orwould I just stick with the motorcarft. I've been following the maintenance monitor for oci, its bee right around 10000 mi
Thinkin of switching synthetics

Same parent Co. makes both oils (Conoco-Phillips), but are'nt you scared about that new-fangled Titanium additive in the K-oil?

Why would some one be scared of it?
OP- Kendall is a great oil and is a cousin to motorcraft. Your engine will not notice the difference and it'll like the more stout additive package.

No problem switching. Cutting your cost in half is a good thing. Being in Kentucky you could use conventional for 10,000.

+1 - Mobil Super has titanium as part of the additive pack and it performed as well as moly based Pennzoil Ultra in my vehicle.

Another +1 - Kendall is at least equal to and likely better than MC and your pocketbook will like the reduction in cost. Use it with no worries!

The port injected Duratec I4s are pretty easy on oil.

Just Messin with the Boy
I ran Castrol Edge with Ti and it did fine**, though it ran a bit "thick" in the fit.
** Until I messed it up by putting a 1/3 can of LubriMoly in the sump 1/2 way through the OCI.

WHere do you get Kendall at half price?? send me some!! Great oil with a great additive pack. Your car won't know the difference.
Echo the half price. What is the price of it ? Why not use the 0w20 instead ?
