What are your driving habits like with this truck? Glad to see fuel dilution isn't an issue with your particular engine

I tow anywhere from 10 to 30 percent of the time. The remainder is mixed between highway and city driving. I am a pretty mellow driver for the most part, but sometimes I like to stomp on it.

Was this 0w-30 edge from an older stash (ie mid 2015 or earlier)? It's the previous Castrol magnesium formulation which supposedly was replaced last year. If not, then they either never changed the 0w's or recently changed the line again.

I purchased it this year, I am pretty sure it is the newer formulation. Edge with titanium.

I am curious why you picked this oil when the ford spec is 5w30.
Castrol's own web site says it is not speced for the 3.5 or 2.7 ecoboost.

I am really curious and trying to learn and not being a A$$.
Thanks, SS

Because I had some in the garage. I was going to switch to my Kendall but I used that on some other vehicles. The Castrol seemed to work well so I purchased more. In addition I like the spec's it meets.

You appear to make the right choice.
