I called Shell and talked to one of the tech guys about T6 and the Ford spec. He said they are working on getting the oil approved and Ford is just about to release the engine test specs needed to meet the spec. He inferred that Ford was about to publish the details soon for the oil companies like Shell.
I then asked how the 15 or 20 oil companies that make 5W40 already got their oil approved and on the Ford approved list if Ford does not have the engine test specs available yet.
I am not sure there is any new news here, seem more contradictory than new news.
But is does seem Shell is working hard to get the T6 on the Ford approved list whatever that takes.
I asked him if he had a Ford truck under warranty what would be use. He said one of the Shell Tx oils on the approved list. There are 3.
