UPDATE

There was something wrong or not right about the synthetic oil I used, after the blend I tried again another Full Synthetic 5w-20 SN+ from a major brand. Not going to say which as it would look like I´m endorsing it. Truck feels great, performance is same or better, engine does sound smoother and sounds less. Seems like I´m getter a little bit better MPG. I believe it feels better all around. It is wat´s expected from a full synthetic.

Called that.

Why would you be afraid of endorsing an oil?

Avocado oil for me. I like its high smoke point and flavor.

You’d think I’d be into that.

Zddp additive... Alot...alot of companies actually use Zddp...it seriously coats everything and doesn't come off.

Zinc shouldn't go into a vehicle with a catalytic converter and o2 sensors, will foul them.

Because it´s actually snake oil, got it on sale along with the blinker fluid and exhaust bearings.

M1 EP is good oil, but I still wouldn't run it for the whole 20K mi they spec it for, unless you first do a used oil analysis (blackstone labs, etc) at half that or less and find it has life left. Then you also need an extended life filter. I'd also put in a new PCV valve before a stretch like that. I haven't looked it up but it's probably more like 20K or a year whichever comes first, with the assumption that if you're putting on 20K in a year then it's mostly easy hwy mi.

I bought some of that M1 EP too, about $9 per 5qt jug at walmart with their current rebate.

I run the extended, but change it at the recommended 7500 miles of the regular service interval. (Not a Ford). I haven’t changed the oil in the Mounty in 2 years as it’s not driven daily.

The one I got is Advanced Synthetic advertised for 10k not the Extended Performance which is advertised for 20k. Anyway I drive about 5k annually so it´s perfect for me. Motorcraft OEM filter is supposed to be good for 10k/1 year so that is what I use. Thanks for the advice about the EP, if I ever use it I would do that.

$9 is a great price for that EP oil. I'll have to get to Walmart and buy a jug, and make myself fill out the rebate form.

Also make yourself take a hot shower, every time I had to deal w/ Walmart as a vendor it felt like I had made a deal with Lucifer!

 

[CDW6212R]

I'm very bad about mailing stuff in, so I need to get the paperwork up front and do it fast. I've passed on some rebate items when the store didn't have a clue or couldn't find the details etc.

Yuup, they are banking on that!
