Thanks, that helps. So are all motorcraft brand are OEM for Ford?
Yes, Motorcraft is Ford's OEM brand for fluids and such.
Is there a benefit to maintenance log at ford.com, I already keep my own log of literally everything of the vehicals I've owned so far.
That's the way I look at it too plus there is an electronic record anyone can see if you give them the VIN.
So.....is that a stealership's benefit then?
Yes, thanks, all drain plugs can be reused with a new seal. Had an Integra for 15 years, same drain plug for engine oil, went through only two aluminum crushed washer. I only replaced it because it was from the previous owners that had a droplet of leak that I can spot once in a while in the garage floor. Going through a Camry now with 5th year (previously with family member from the start @ 20k), with 146k still the same drain plug oil and original seal no leak. Thanks for the list of lubes on the other thread, it was very useful!! Just looking for aftermarket options too.
Yea I agree... FORD is very vague in their description of fluids and while some are close in viscosity, I feel the move was done more so they can sell MC fluid. This is the first time I have ever seen a dif fluid labelled a single viscosity weight. It's all a way for them to sell more of their fluids and deny warranty work because you used something with give or take 5 points on the viscosity scale. Which sucks, because for the cost you can easily get Amsoil. I'm just glad it's a small amount of fluid. All the other dif's I've ever done have gotten something like Valvoline or whatever is off the shelf in the correct viscosity.
