Thats intresting, didnt know that.Ford used WSS-M2C913C/D oils in their diesels right up till 2016. Even those with DPF's with very little issues. These oils have a SAPS usually around 1.3% and are based on ACEA A5/B5.

I was really suprised when my friend told me hes running Castrol edge 0w-30 A5 oil in hes volvo v70 diesel with dpf. I told him hows your dpf? he told me that same oil have been since new and he have over 400k km on the car. Hows this even possible
That list of “acceptable” uses is a bit of a fantasy considering it lumps together approvals that cannot be simultaneously met.You may consider a mid-SAPS oil from Schaeffer Mfg. Their European formulation 8008 5w30 has a HTHS of 3.6...

Okay “suitable” then. The problem is they it can’t be suitable for all of those at once as some are incompatible with the others. That’s the fantasy part that I was driving at in my post.No where is the word "acceptable" used in the Schaeffer TDS... The correct verbaige is "meets, exceeds and is suitable for use for the following specifications"...
But at least with the Amsoil PDS they don’t conflate incompatible approvals in their list. The PDS you linked reminds me of some of the ones from Triax where it’s an impossible combination. AFAIK LE doesn’t have this problem either.Yup... just like Amsoil or LE...
If you’re asking me, why would that matter? Would that influence the the information they publish on their PDS?Quick question... Do you know who/what Schaeffer Mfg is?
Sounds normal for a diesel.For those who care, I did my second oil change on the 3.0L Duramax today, at 950 miles (first change was done at 200 miles). Oil was GM's 0w20 Dexos-D. It came out black as coal--very dirty. Looked like I had done the change at several thousand miles rather than 750 miles. I'm putting in Mobil 1 ESP now.
The diesel soot that gets in your oil is like carbon-black. It takes a very small amount to blacken your engine oil. There is a limit to how much soot is allowed in the oil and this is where a used oil analysis comes in handy. You can't tell how much soot is in the oil without an analysis that correctly measures soot. If we were to change oil in a diesel when it turns black, we would be changing it every 250 miles.It came out black as coal--very dirty.
Thanks--I drove a diesel in Germany for a couple of years, but always had the oil changed for me. Where should I get the oil analysis done--I'm also looking for excess iron and fuel dilution.The diesel soot that gets in your oil is like carbon-black.

I use Wearcheck often and find them to be reliable and accurate.Where should I get the oil analysis done
