Is the 5w-20 going to become a unicorn? The local Canadian Tires, if I recall correctly, no longer carry the 5w-20 in PP or PU, with only the 0w-20 available. Here, of course, the 10w-30 synthetics are difficult to find, too.

PZ Ultra Platinum /1.5 Ecoboost Fusion - 30k mile

0W20 will work just fine in a 5W20 application, and a 10k OCI too unless your IOLM complains it wants an earlier change.
The OCI average for most of the EcoBoost engines is ~10,000 miles based on IOLM. And it'll do that with a Motorcraft filter (the smaller ones like the FL-810S haven't seen issues in the last couple years IIRC) and semi-synthetic 5W20 Motorcraft oil. Shoot, someone hooned (and I mean drove hard) their 2013 Focus ST 2.0L Ecoboost north of 250k miles with M1EP and 15k OCIs, and it's still running fine. See focusst.org for that.

Would make sense to not sell 5W's come fall season in a number of Canadian markets when 0W reduces complaints and is otherwise equivalent.

Yes, and with more OEMs dropping 5w-20 for 0w-20, it eases things. GM went with 0w-20 in 5w-20 applications something like a couple years ago.
Are fords new 1.5T or 2.3T using the dual injector set up ? One port / one direct.

Has nothing to do with Noack. It has to do with the fuel and oil used achieving solvency as the engine overlaps the valves to simulate EGR function. There's an official paper somewhere in wild wild west GM officially published.

There's a few things, you can see he almost wants to reveal, but those who know keep it close to the heart. Shame.

Everything looks absolutely great to me. I'd try for 5500 on my next OCI.

FL-920S - the 800 series Motorcrafts apparently still have tearing issues inherited from their manufacturer, and I can't correct that post. Apologies for making a wrong statement for people to accidentally google and follow.

By resisting evaporation with a low Noack.
The crankcase Blowby isn't NOACK.

Thank you for making a great oil, however, PLEASE work on making it more available! It's such a pain to find in stores and online. Wal-Mart.com says they do not carry 5W20 anymore?
I realize this post is old, but I wanted to echo the same sentiment.
Id LOVE to use Ultra Platinum in any one of my 3 vehicles, but Im pretty sure I could win the lotto while riding a unicorn before Ill ever be able to find PUP in 5w-20 or 5w-30!
