What made Ford want to back specify oil weights?

If you're referring to the EPA letter not covering back specifying xW-20 for vehicles produced in the 90's, it still doesn't mean there was some kind of agreement to give CAFE credits to Ford for doing so.


Speculate much?


Then explain what you're talking about ... what is your "point"?

When EcoBoost first debuted for 2009, 5W-20 was specified. When the F-150s debuted with EcoBoost, all of a sudden all the EcoBoost engines magically required 5W-30. This was the 1st gen 3.5L EcoBoost, both transverse and longitudinal (there are differences).

Rerread the last part of your statement. It also doesn't mean "martians [censored] POE"...
