If want to harass someone, jump back over to my thread and make another comment on my canned fruit.
First of all, I'm harassing nobody at all. Secondly, I wouldn't care if he was gosh dang Lee Iacocca, the American Petroleum Institute sets the standards, not him, not you, not BITOG. API SE has been obsolete for 38 years. BITOG is a place to educate ourselves about the processes of lubrication and filtration, about the chemical and physical properties of oil, and how different oils perform in different environments. If there's one thing that should be absolute certain about the information found here, it's that we only give opinions on things that haven't already been proven to be facts, or haven't already been set in stone. While it is true that we as long time members understand that a 3,000 mile OCI with the oil OP posted is not likely to actually cause harm to a 1996 Ford modular V8, lurkers and non-members may read this thread and think API SE is suitable for newer engines using OEM recommended OCIs, which it definitely is not.
