VOA Motorcraft 5W-20

[RWEST]

A recent VOA for MC 5-20. I use this oil in my '07 Ford Expedition (3-valve 5.4L Modular) and '05 Freestyle (3.8L Duratec).

RON: No problems showed up in this sample of virgin 5W/20 engine oil. The TBN read 7.6, so this oil starts out with
plenty of active additive. The calcium is a detergent/dispersant additive, while molybdenum, phosphorus, and zinc are
all anti-wear additives. No water or insolubles were present. The trace of iron may be from holding tanks and transfer
pumps used along the supply and isn't a problem. The viscosity was normal for a 5W/20. This is serviceable oil from
our tests.

Thanks for this. Very common oil around here and it is nice to have up-2-date specs.

Where is the Boron? This can't be right.

 

[Mr Nice]

Maybe they reformulated this oil ?

I usually tell people to use Pennzoil. But if they have a Ford, MC would be the better choice. MC in a Ford is a good combo.

I'm not sure if you know this or not, but this is the same oil as Exxon Superflo 5W-20. I would think Mobil Clean 5000 5W-20 is the same.

Hope this helps.
