Excluding Fords' muscle cars and heavy duty trucks, Ford has always recommended their semi syn oil for their cars or trucks. On the back of the bottle, and their website too, the description has noted the composition ( hydro processed oil etc.) and how it is recommended by Ford for Ford vehicles. The label used to say "has performed flawlessly in both dynometer and over the road testing" or something to that effect.
Over the years the wording has changed some ( they dropped the performed flawlessly part) and just recently they have added "controls turbocharger deposits" to the descriptive on the bottle.
Question: has Ford done some fine tuning to the composition of their most popular oil because turbo'd engines are becoming more and more of their product mix? Or is this just another tweak of their description of the oil, like they've done in the past? I believe the new part about turbocharger deposit protection is relatively new as anytime I'm at Walmart I take the time to study the oil section - passes the time while the wife shops. ( Well, that and the guns dept)...
Does anybody here do the same thing? I might not even need oil but I'll be in in the oil aisle just looking and reading what each brand has to say about their product. Worse yet, has anybody here ever read the oil bottle description and thought " this oil always produces noisy engines" or " what a crock, produces too high a ppm fe for me" etc.?
I know normal people there think I need a doctor.
