Tim W. AZ Posted July 6 Report Share Posted July 6 Motorcraft oil is blended by Conoco Phillips, so it’s good oil. WyoEdge is right, as long as it meets Ford specs, it’s all good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Motorcraft Blend and Motorcraft Full Synthetic are both good oils and meet Ford's specs, so out of those two which would you say is best?

Definitely the full synthetic. It’s too bad Ford doesn’t make full synthetic standard equipment from the factory. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ford cannot deny warranty if you use other than Ford oil. period. tim I agree. But these oil pump belt failures are occurring long after the factory warranty expires. Oil is oil, I get it. But it's all about the additive packages the individual manufacturers put in the base oil that may be in question. Certain chemicals (additives) may have a long-term acceleration of the belt deterioration. Just for thought? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you convinced that Ford doesn't specify the Motorcraft Full Synthetic and its additive package for your model with its belt driven oil pump? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garycrist Posted July 6 Report Share Posted July 6 Could it be that Ford builds quiet a few autos and trucks and at 5 or 6 quarts of oil per build, semi would save them X amount of money. They are for THEIR pocket book not yours. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If a failure is ever a warranty issue or a manufacturing or design problem is why I use the manufacturer recommended oil. How long after the warranty expires is the part failing? If it’s at 200,000 miles it probably wasn’t the oil. But if it’s at 65,000 then Ford should be investigating what’s happening. 9 hours ago, garycrist said: Could it be that Ford builds quiet a few autos and trucks and at 5 or 6 quarts of oil per build, semi would save them X amount of money.

Ford doesn’t give away the 2 gallons of gas they put in the vehicle at the factory. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
